Defining Creativity

Based on Wikipedia, the meaning of novelty is the quality of being new. Although it may be said to have an objective dimension (e.g. a new style of art coming into being, such as abstract art or impressionism) it essentially exists in the subjective perceptions of individuals.

Novelty is very important in arts and design, it has to be something different and unique and it need creativity when applying in every design.

Besides that, thinking skills or intelligence is also important for the society. So they say " Education kills creativity", that is actually quite true, because of how the education in every country is fixed and formed, they have actually taught and trained us to be so rigid and typical, that now creativity is hardly to be seen.

We need to break out of the cliche, stereotypes the society has been brought up to. Everyone is different in their own unique way.

Here's is some suggestive ways on how you can be a more creative person:
a) Study the people around you
-Observe the personality and behavior of the society.

b) Study a specific product
-Get a better understanding of the product that you wanted to innovate.

c) Study the environment
- Observe the environment and figure out what is basic, typical things and try to change that.

d) Study the process
-Research about the process of how a specific object or product works in order to find ways to upgrade it.
