"For me creativity is a process and approach to solving problems by producing new and innovative ideas. These can be visual problems such as in graphic design, business problems or just general problems in our lives.  I think anyone can be creative and fostering a culture in which everyone feels they are creative would benefit all society as a whole." -  Spencer Harrison (graphic designer/illustrator/founder of  HAPPY STÜDIO  and creator of MNML Thing )

"For me, creativity is the flowing liquid state my brain gets in somewhere past midnight, with caffeine raging through my neural receptors, building a critical mass of interconnected concepts and images that burst forth onto the canvas in front of me. It's the passion that hollows me out every night right before I crash into my bed, barely missing the first light of dawn. Creativity is the hot flame I hold my hand over time and time again, seeing how much I can endure and damaging my flesh in the process.  But sometimes...sometimes it's just a drawing of Bill Murray." - Tim Doyle (illustrator/founder of Nakatomi Inc )

Tilman Zitzmann

" Creativity – as I see it – is actually not so much about creating. To bring something new, useful, interesting or beautiful into this world,  you do not need to create it from scratch.  It is already there.  A few months working on my Geometry Daily project, I realized that there is already so much beauty, just in the way geometry works. An infinite amount of possibilities. I just need to discover and show them.  I think that holds true for any creative endeavor. There is so much beauty in the way our world is constructed and what is developed out of it : Math, physics, nature, human culture. Even the creative talent you think you "have", It's all a gift.  All you need to do is wonder, discover and let it happen."   - Tilman Zitzmann ( interaction/graphic designer, creator of Geometry Daily project)

Robert Strati

" Creativity is infinite in form. We inhale. We exhale. Breathe nourishes the body and then forests are fed. Becoming more complex as layers of experience intermingle. Reality is processed and unanswered questions need a place to land. In this landing seeds of creativity evolve. Some ephemeral and forgotten while others are nurtured to grow. Some from nowhere like a storm shake the earth and monuments emerge. Some quietly whisper and when listened to genius takes hold. Creativity is infinite in form. Quiet the critic. Pay deep attention to a single second. Watch slowly as the next approaches. In the transition you can glimpse the nature of creativity." - Robert Strati (artist / UX designer)

Raphael Olivier

" Creativity for me is the ability to channel something extra-sensorial into something sensorial. I do believe humans perceive a lot of information outside of their known sensory system, and have the capability to express it through music, dance, poetry, painting, photography and other forms of art.   It’s the famous “I don’t know why but it makes me feel something” - Raphael Olivier (photographer)

"For me creativity is the ability to capture and organise  random ideas and visions into  an often surreal image that I find aesthetically satisfying  but with total disregard to commerciality" - LED Eddie (light artist/nocturnal photographer) 

Hilka Riba

Image
" To me creativity is opening up to another state of mind  where thoughts flow freely, ideas surge out mysteriously  from the unconscious, and the word 'impossible' doesn't exist." -  Hilka Riba (artist/founder of Grafixd )

Ian McCuaig

Image
"Creativity is something that everyone has,  you just need to find what you love and express it  through your work, whatever it may be." -  Ian McCuaig (designer/student)

Photography by Mike Schreiber  " My most creative moments are the ones I've completely surrendered control.  Creativity feels like a Divine dance.  You let the Divine take the lead and allow your self to be swept away by the music and the moment.  At the end you're left with something magical that neither of you could have created alone." -  Carla Duren (singer/dancer/actress)

"Creativity is the ability to share your vision of the world.  It's about how you see your subject, and how your subject sees themselves.  The truth always lies somewhere in between." -  Zach Hetrick  (Photographer)

" Creativity is the thing that, when it strikes, can suddenly erase  your sadness, your boredom, your anger. Creativity can make you leap from the bed you just climbed into,  dead tired, miraculously feeling wide awake.  It is the ultimate motivator.When I find it,my heart swells." - Inslee Haynes (illustrator)

Peter Breese

"Acceptance is the key to creativity. You must accept who you are. Good and bad. It is the sum of your unique life experiences that offer up a solution to setting your imagination free." -  Peter Breese (artist/illustrator)

Asante

Image
" Creativity, to me, is more than thinking outside "the box." Anyone that is able to create their own "box", and negate the "box" that society has created and tried to trap them in is a creator, in my eyes. Creativity comes from the heart and mind, and walks hand in hand with innovation. When a person is honest with themselves about these two things, the possibilities that their creative mind holds are ultimately endless. " -  Asante  (Jazz Singer/Songwriter/Producer/ Arranger)
