Raul Cuero's interview regarding creativity emphasized setting yourself apart by taking risks and exploring the unknown, surprising people with something unexpected. I agree with the fact that creativity stems from how one perceives nature, because this is exactly the setting I tend to put myself in when brainstorming or creating. Connecting with nature, whether it is sitting in the grass or simply breathing in the fresh air, always seems to spark my best ideas. By spending more time outdoors, especially in between our long days of classes and work, we can find ourselves and discover the power of our own thoughts and ideas. However, I do not see technology as a detriment to our creativity, but one extra method for people to learn, research and get inspired.
The notion that creative ideas stem from interactions with other ideas is an important aspect of brainstorming and creativity as a whole. Especially in my own classes, my classmates and I tend to do better when we bounce ideas off of each other, letting them change and grow into the best possible options. If you remain stuck inside your own head all the time, we will miss out on so many different perspectives that are all around us.
Lastly, my favorite idea from Cuero is that we must do everything with an intensity for the full creative potential to come together. By having some sort of purpose or desire, we grow more passionate about the ideas we are working with and compose them in a more meaningful way. While a fear of failure often holds people back from this intensity, we must run with our ideas with a sense of confidence in order to be noticed and succeed in our own minds as well as the minds of others. By taking these risks and stepping outside of the box, your work can reach and inspire so many more to do the same.
