Going forward as a Creative

  • Moving forward as a creative I have a few simple goals to help me close the gap.
  • Create a more detailed running log. Running is one of the most important aspects of my life and if I artifact that it will become more natural to artifact in other aspects of life
  • Use the heuristics on projects in other classes. If I start using that as my default method of problem solving they will become more instinctive
  • Document my questioning. Since the beginning of this class I have become a much more curious person. Documenting those questions and then running heuristics on them could produce some very cool outcomes.

The Gap

  • Unfortunately the only advice I was given going into this class was "it is a good class but there is no need to buy in to everything."
  • My creative gap stemmed from that statement because it took me about half of the semester to figure out that wasn't the right attitude.
  • I am to the point now where I recognize the importance of the heuristics
  • However the only heuristic that I use instinctively is questioning.
  • The gap is between knowing the importance of using the heuristics and instinctively turning to the heuristics when I need to solve not just a creative problem, but any problem.

Outside of the Classroom Heuristics

  • This was another huge step forward in becoming a greater creative person
  • Yes I have been using the things that we learned in class outside of class but this is the first time that I formally used a heuristic to solve a problem outside of class
  • I am not yet to the point where I encounter a problem outside of class and instinctively resort to a heuristic however they are in my toolbox and I am using them

Brainstorming

Portfolio Process

  • I put the portfolio creative process in here because it is in a way the coming together of all of the skills
  • My own creative thoughts
  • Heuristics
  • I tried the idea box. Not sure if I was using it right but as of now I do not like this one
  • Artifacting
  • This process gave me a lot of different routes that I could have taken with this project and helped me stray away from my first right answer

Portfolio Process

Creative Press

  • This was a turning point in the class for me
  • Like usual I got a ton of ideas when you brought this up in class
  • This time I went home and wrote down all of my thoughts. I used no specific heuristics I just let it all flow
  • What I came up with was a much more enjoyable workspace
  • I even learned more about how I worked during the process
  • I originally thought that I liked to pet my dog while I worked but once she moved from the bed to under the desk I realized that I just wanted to bounce ideas off of her

Elevator Image

Elevator Image Process

  • I did two things right as far as the creative process with the Elevator Image
  • Iteration
  • I only iterated once so far but there are more to come
  • First artifacted use of heuristics
  • Tried out the word dance
  • Not a huge fan
  • Did end up deciding that the quote said what I was trying to say with "procedural management" so I threw it out
  • I really think I am on the right track with this one so the next step is to work with a graphic designer. Expect another iteration soon.

The

Creativity Wheel

  • The Creativity Wheel was a step in the right direction
  • I spent a lot of time thinking about how to do this differently
  • I remember going back and forth between how many squares I would use for the ranking system
  • However I did not artifact those thoughts whatsoever
  • This project was an eye opener for my weaknesses though
  • Documenting
  • Doing things in a different way

CRAPPY

use of heuristics

C4 Paper

  • I did very little as far as the creative process with the C4
  • In fact the most creative part was the amount of times that I failed to make the pile of crap I turned in
  • That process is as follows
  • Die clay using tip of brown marker
  • Break open brown market to get all of the ink
  • Mix together all colors and hope it comes out brown. It came out blue
  • Spray paint the damn thing
  • This was a great example of risk and failure considering it took so many iterations and it stained my hands black for a week

  • My failure resume is a failure
  • I did not use any heuristics on this assignment
  • Dr. Friedman said it was okay and could have been presented better
