Hmmm? How do I create. I've never really thought about it until the discussion was brought up in class. But I definitely create out of inspiration, I have no idea when I will be inspired but when I do it's a really good feeling. The other day I saw a wonderful piece of art and it just kick started my creativity and created some album art for my friends band.
I wish there was a way where I could be in constant creativity mode, but it's really hard sometimes. I like some of the tips mentioned in class such as "look at the everyday world for inspiration". I went out one sunny afternoon and just walked down the street to Tim Hortons and kept that in mind, and I looked at everything in a totally different way. Also "read a book" I get a lot of my creativity and inspiration from books. Books are very personal, and if you can create something with the inspiration of a book it will be very personal and original.
I am definetly a creative person and mostly create out of inspiration, memories, and experiences.

Design?
Design is.........
I feel that design could pretty much be anything. Design is properly laid out words on a page. Design is a t- shirt that fits wonderfully. Design is a small cell phone that weighs zero pounds. Anything that is created with a purpose can be considered design. Every project we have designed so far has had a reason or purpose, if not given to by the instructor then by ourselves.
Even if something is considered design, who's to say that it's good design? When I look back at my projects from first semester I can easily say a lot of it is bad design. Only because I didn't know what design really was, I had no idea design was everywhere and created with a purpose.
Here's something I found
that is designed wonderfully.
All it is, is a plastic drink holder. It is designed to save space in your fridge and be convenient to carry 4 can in 1 hand. It is so simple.
Here's something else that I think is nice design.
These things are paper water bottles. CRAZY COOL! The people who invented these understood the changing of times and the scare of global warming, and designed a product that will satisfy all the eco friendly people.
I'll just repeat myself in conclusion to what design is. Design is anything created with a purpose.
