"Creativity is a big scary word for those who do not use that much of the right side of their brain. I think everyone can be creative. It's a way of thinking, more than a gift. 
To be creative, you first need a problem to solve,and when you find a new way to pass through it, people say you are a creative person.   
As an illustrator, it's the same. I get a pitch and I have to deliver an idea, concept and originality. Those three last words are part of creativity. But there's nothing magic about that. I have to work, make thumbnails, play with images, metaphor and cliché. Suddenly, I get something original. Something I like and want to share."
-Stéphane Lauzon (illustrator)

"Creativity happens when we allow ourselves to explore. When we explore, we test new and different ways to solve problems or to express ourselves. That's when magic truly happens " - Scott Withers (graphic designer/interior architect) And a Star Trek quote!

"I often think of my creative process as two parts. It starts as spontaneous drawings. I draw whatever I have in my mind first, based on the concept of the project. This is more like doodling. After doing so for a while, I start looking at the drawing as a design. That means that I digest the drawing, simplify it, exaggerate, add things and so on. This second part of the process is carefully calculated  and time consuming, compared to the spontaneous first part. At the same time, these two process are important to each other. If one is incomplete, then I will not be satisfied with the result of the design at the end. Everything I design goes through these phases, and I do enjoy both parts of the process in different ways." - Junichi Tsuneoka (illustrator/designer/founder of Stubborn Sideburn )
