Creative Mindmapping

Before learning how to map a good creative mind mapping. I never believe mind mapping is the best way to make solution. I dont like to do mind mapping before this. To me, mind mapping is not useful.

But after my lecterur, Mr. Yap Sau Bin and Mr. Radzi Bedu teach us how to do creative mind mapping. Yes, I admit. It is very useful. I am wrong.

Min mapping is a great way to think. Futhermore, we are the future multimedia designer. Mind mapping is actually very important to us to make creative idea from some hot keyword.

Below, I found the example when searching in google.


This is a great mind mapping about Time Machine. See from the mind map, we can see how the drawer of the mind map explore potential for innovating backwards with the Time Machine.

Creative inventors created futuristic yachts

When we talk about being creative when invent something, I remember a documentary, I watched when I still in highschool. It is about a group of designers, sailor who want to invents a boat, or yacht.

All of them try to create a new looking yacht that will function better than the yacht that already exist in this world. They try to create something new, fresh, anti-pollution, and even create a new land for us(they said, maybe someday the land will be crowded with human, so wee ned new land, that is the yacth itself)

Below, I share some pictures and stories about the future yatch invent from our designers and inventors. Who always think creative to create something new and fresh.



This is The Wallypower 118 Super Yacht. And its already official sail on the water. This one is designed to satisfy the sailors, who always want a luxority yacht, with latest technology and powerfull engine. (source)
This is EarthRace Biodiesel Powerboat. This boat t is powered by the sun and eco-friendly biodiesel. (source)

This one is The Sea Shadow Stealth Warship. Created for military purpose. he Sea Shadow Stealth Warship is invisible to most radar systems of the 20th century, which is what made it a Navy secret until recently. (source)
This is The Oasis of the Seas Cruise Ship. The world’s largest cruise ship– you’re looking at it. While below it, the image of the Oasis of the Seas.(source)

Novelty, Creativity, Innovation and Invention

To discuss this topic, first we must know the definition.

What is Novelty?
To me, Novelty is freshness, originality. According to wordnetweb website, Novelty is "freshness: originality by virtue of being refreshingly novel".

What is the definition for Creativity?
From wordnetweb.com , creativity is the ability to create.

Innovation?
Innovation is "invention: a creation (a new device or process) resulting from study and experimentation" (http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=innovation)

And what is Invention??
A creation (a new device or process) resulting from study and experimentation
(http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=invention)

From the word itself, we know all these thing have a connection with our ability to think creative.
From the past, we know that there were many person who think something unique and useful to our life.

As an example. Humphry Davy. You can google him up. Or click this link if you want to know the full plot of his life.

Humpry Davy is a man who invented the 1st light bulb. His creative idea made people nowadays live more comfortly isnt it? This man is a really great man. His creative idea, made himself to think a new fresh idea and then invent a light bulb, that lighted up all the houses in this modern era.

From here you can see, being creative is not only about art. It is about our life itself. Try to being creative in all way of our life.

But becareful, as what our lecturer said in class, people sometimes misunderstood creativity with innovation.

But then, we know, that creativity fall into four part, that is :

• Aesthetic Organizers.
• Boundary Pushers — those who take an existing idea and push it a little further.
  
• Inventors — those who take existing knowledge and create new ideas — the Edisons of this world.
  
• The rarest group: Boundary Breakers — the Leonardos and the Copernicuses.
  ( A paraphrasing of Elliot Eisner (1933-), American art educator)

So yes, in conlusion, we know that we here is all creative people. But to be more creative, we need to learn! Gain more knowledge.
