Journal Entry: Reflection on My Creativity and Innovation Course Journey

Starting out in week one of the Creativity and Innovation course, my primary goal was to develop a better understanding and a more structured approach to problem solving that would work for both my professional and personal projects. I wanted to add more tools to my toolbox that I could utilize that would help me develop more creativbe solutions to any problems that may pop up non my journey to entrepreneurship. I believed that this course would offer me new perspectives on how to be more creative with innovations in different fields, especially since I have two business projects I want to work on.

The two writing ventures I want to work on would be opening a 24/7 coffee shop and bookstore combined, as well as expanding my freelance writing business. This course has exceeded my expectation by providing a hands-on approach to creativity, showing me how to build and push past my initial ideas and explore ideas that aren't so linear. I have read a lot of different articles, and watched a lot of different videos this month, and I learned the different techniques of design thinking, prototyping, and creative problem-solving that allowed for a more human-centered approach to innovation. I learned that empathy is very important, and if we can cater to our users we will more likely succeed because it will build on being user friendly.

A valuable take away was understanding how I could balance creativity with a driven mindset. This course heavily emphasized that creativity isn't just an expression within the art world but its crucial for trying to find meaninful solutions, especial when working on social entrepreneurship principles. I learned that innovation often comes from the intersection of various fields and by taking the insights from different fields, we can create ideas that are not only original but it can resonate with us, and the users on a practical level.

Moving forward with my academics and personal life, I want to apply what I learned this month. In my writing, I want to be more structured brainstorming and experimenting with different writing techniques. I would also, like to get my reader base opinions and take their feedback and apply it to my writing so it can better cater to something that they also want to read. This would create a more human-centered approach for my writing. I also want to push the creative bounderies when it comes to creating character arcs, and take a non traditional approach to my plotlines.

This class has equipped me with a more open mindset and I am better equipped to approach new challenges more innovatively and creatively.

SECOND SESSION

Envisioning Collaboration: Group Verbal-visual Composing in a System of Creativity by Geoffrey A. Cross

After the first session I read the book ‘Envisioning Collaboration’ by Geoffrey A. Cross and Charles H. Sides for the better understanding of the concept of interdisciplinary group collaboration. This book gave me a lot of new perspectives of how things work in this group projects and how I can work collaboratively with the group and complete the project successfully.

I was always used to working alone even in a group of people with same courses I always have my own ideas with a limited point of views so I taught in a group of people with different courses I would be totally lost and on my own but after reading some points in this book like "Everyone's been sitting in their own little corner working on it, and then you come in and see what someone else did, and it's 'Huh, I didn't even think of that.' And you don't take their ideas, but it will inspire you for something else." (TR 66) (Cross & Charles, 2011). I felt like I can really improve my teamwork skills and my technical skills too. And this "There's a lot of one-on-one stuff that goes on. That's where some... decisions get made. It's just kind of talking instead of the big group- [for example] 'Neil, you're not saying anything. What do you think about doing this?' or 'Bob, here's how I think we should do the strategy.""(TR 686) (Cross & Charles, 2011). Made me think how much one can gain, expand, and learn from each other in the group just with a little bit of communication. Just dividing work among us, discussing our progress from time to time, sharing our work and getting new ideas and developing them further will make the project go swimmingly. The most important part of it all is to assigning roles. These roles are given in Brightspace under this module contents as group roles. It contains of 5 roles, and they are: 1. Visualisers, 2. Project Manager, 3. Communications, 4. Technician assistants, 5. Interpretations.

And, in my opinion the key to forming a good understanding between team members is inspiration towards the project it’s like when you are doing the project you have to feel the project, know it, and connect to it.

So, during this second session when we were discussing the idea from last session, I realised I am not fully inspired or connected to this concept, but my team members seemed to be inspired by it. So, I was searching for a new group. This is when I met two more who taught the same as me and searching for teammates so, we formed a group with just the three of us. And one of them already had an idea of what she wants to do. When she explained it, I felt inspired by the concept immediately. Which I will be discussing in my next blog.

i love my Basketbot Portal AU

[impending-day]

i love limbus ocs with unusual sources. like novel sources are cool and all but when i see a limbus oc whose source is a childrens story, or a myth, or a song, or a cryptid, or a niche historical reference, i get so fucking happy. if youre thinking of making a limbus oc but are worried cause your oc isnt based off of some novel from the 1800d. this is your sign. make that limbus oc soldier.

The dangerous one

Despite the wolfsbane coursing through his body, Derek snarled. "You're going to regret this."

The wind picked up. The trees started shaking. The sky grew dark as foreboding clouds coalesced above them. The hunters still looked impassive, but Derek could smell their growing anxiety, soon to be overpowered by the scent of ozone.

The screaming began when tree roots started writhing, holding onto the hunters' ankles, climbing up their legs, piercing their flesh and holding them in place.

Suddenly, everything went still and a low voice could be heard. "Hey, Sourwolf."

Derek smiled, feral.

His mate had come for him.

TMA1402 – 2223: Creative Innovation and Entrepreneurship

This Module started with dividing our class into groups which was new for me since I have never worked in an interdisciplinary group. Our group had an illustrator, an animator, a photographer, two graphic designers, and an interior designer. And our first task was, we each come up with some innovative ideas individually and discuss them with the group in further sessions so that we can land on one idea for the group project that allows everyone in the group to use their skills. I was just hoping that my ideas would cover everyone’s skillset in our group.

Some of the ideas I came up with are:

- Animate web

- Food chain

- Art chart

Animate Web

It is a website where we can find everything related to animation like all the great animators and their work, links to learning materials of all basic concepts, every new update in animation etc, there are many people who has a lot of interest and capacity but no proper way or sources to understand the concepts of animation and designing so, this might help them as a platform where they can explore and understand different sectors of animation.

Food chain

The idea of a food chain is similar to food court like it has 4 or 5 rooms adjacent to each other but only each room is a countries food like one serve only Indian, other serves only Chinese, another serves Thai, another Mexican etc.

Art chart

It is like a place where people sign in and get into a room and can draw arts free style like anything they want, to express themselves with a limitation of two drawings or they can be given a challenge where they have to draw some selected art works. They can come with friends or children and sort of play these challenges and get their creative side out. It can be really encouraging and fun for students to try all the arts like real artists instead of sketch books.

So, in our first session the main idea that we discussed was about avoiding plastic bags in restaurants, supermarkets and in various other places which is causing our environment a huge damage by polluting our land and water. Which reminded me of a quote from an article I saw before “The problem is that as a population we have continued to innovate and create new ways to use plastic—to the point that we are dependent on plastic in our everyday lives,” says Simon. (Hancock, 2019). By depending more on plastic every day, we are getting addicted to it. So, if we want this addiction to stop there must be something to replace plastic and be eco-friendly.
