Creativity Decoded

"For me, creativity lies in inspiration, passion and the freedom to explore a concept." -  Jessica Steuart (founder of This is Collective )

"Attempting to define creativity becomes a creative act in itself. Ironically, that seems to contradict the intent of the question. How do I define the things I do and the reasons for which I do them? I don't. Creation is not a matter of why, but of how, inevitably leading to when. Creativity is, invariably, the act of shooting first and asking questions later. " - Isaac Appiah (creative specialist)

"Creativity is the ability to think differently. It's looking at things from a different light and coming up with something truly unique. It's not a skill or even a gift. It's a way of life." - Andrew Kim (communication/visual designer)

"I feel like we are all little creators; like the Creator breathed bits  and pieces of herself into us, giving us each the ability to create. Creativity is what happens when we use that innate ability to reflect truth.  That's all it takes to be original: using your creativity to reflect the truths that surround you. We each have different experiences of truth, and so each person's particular perspective becomes an original one. It rings true.  On the other hand, when you're simply copying someone else - presenting their truth as though it is your own - you're not being creative. It's an act of hatred towards yourself. Towards truth. Real creativity is guided by truth. The truth we see in any piece of creativity is what we all ultimately connect with." - Kobina Graham (Lecturer/Writer/DJ/Blogger)
