CREATIVITY
Creativity is the act of turning new and imaginative ideas into
reality. Creativity is characterised by the ability to perceive the
world in new ways, to find hidden patterns, to make connections
between seemingly unrelated phenomena, and to generate
solutions. Creativity involves two processes: thinking, then
producing.
If you have ideas but don’t act on them, you are imaginative but
not creative.
A product is creative when it is (a) novel and (b) appropriate
INFOGRAPHIC
An infographic is a collection of imagery, charts, and minimal
text that gives an easy-to-understand overview of a topic.
Infographics are a valuable tool for visual communication. The most
visually unique, creative infographics are often the most effective,
because they grab our attention and don’t let go.
Infographics are great for making complex information easy to
digest.
