Creativity

Usually people define creativity as a mental and social process involving the generation of new or concepts, or new associations of the creative mind between existing ideas or concepts, creativity is fueled by the process of either conscious or unconscious insight. This one is based from wikipedia.

However, the way that I define creativity or creative is the way that someone look into something with an exaggeration and taking the medium into another dimension where we could understand the meaning, even when the meaning was not portrayed physically. Take the image below as an example.This image was taken from source.

The image above is sort of a comic strip, but without the cartoon and all. The cartoon was replaced with the real images. The medium that was used were fruits. Even though there was no dialogue, the message was clear, i can tell. Wat was portrayed in here physically was just an orange. But what the author did was, he/she take the image into another dimension or perspective where the meaning or message can be seen in that particular perspective.

Beside the exaggeration of an image, there are also a footage or video clip that brings the definition of creativity. Take the nearest and daily shown example in our daily life. Such as the advertisement in television, billboard, newspaper and any other medium. There will always be a form of creativity that was put into it to make it more interesting.
