Title: Creative Thinking

The first thing that comes to our mind when we talk about the “creative multimedia” is the FCMers because we are the one who always interact with the creative multimedia, either using them to present our work or looking for inspiration. The term of “creative” can be defined as a new idea, new concept or the new associations of existing idea or concept while the term “multimedia” is a medium that have the combination of multiple content forms, usually includes a combination of text, audio, still images, animation, video, and interactivity content forms. Basically the “creative multimedia” is just a tool that we used to present our idea and concept, or a stage that allow us to spread out the idea. The creative multimedia is driven by the creative thinking, the processes by which the imaginary sense perceptions arise and manipulated. The creative thinking is what the FCMers have to master and adapt in order to create something really different from the existing one.

The creative thinking is about the uniqueness and specialty. How can you tell whether a person have the creative thinking or not? First of all, “Judge a book by its cover”, we can tell by judging their appearance because the ways you wear always reflect the behavior and characteristic of who you are. The people who think creatively usually dare to be different and enjoy on doing so. They like to try on different kinds of wearing styles, mix and match their clothes until they looks so fashion and stylish and changing their hairstyles or color every month. Besides that, these people are always the trend starter, they do not look fashion in stereotype, for example boy cannot wear pink color shirt. In the other hand, for those who do not think creatively, the term of fashion in their mind is just troublesome and unnecessary. Instead of spending time on attire or dolling up themselves, they prefer comfortable. They wear whatever without thinking so much as long as it’s comfortable. In the end, they look dull and not outstanding at all.

We can also differentiate the creative thinking person from their living lifestyle. The traditional life style, work during the day and rest during the night does not work on those creative thinking person. Instead of living such a boring life they rather go for a crazy one. The nightlife is a basic condition. For instance, the FCM students prefer to work at late night because the ideation comes easily during the night hence they can work more efficiently during the night. Furthermore, there are some different between creative thinking person or not in the interest aspect. The creative thinking peoples usually prefer visual kind of stuff. They watch anime or movie instead of reading a long heavy novel. The creative thinking person also more tend to outdoor activities because they are more active compare to non creative thinking person. They like to explore the world, curious on everything, adventure, travel and experience everything by their own but definitely not staying home and reading an encyclopedia. The social life of people with creative thinking is much more interesting compare to others. They like to make friends everywhere, hanging out with friends, gather for some event. For example, the idea come out from a brainstorming of a group of people are surely better than the idea from a single person.

The advantages of having a creative thinking is easily come out with some new idea, work on that and you will get profit. The creative thinking is also a good way for problem solving. You don’t have to think until your head crack and come out with a complicated and unsuitable solution but the creative thinking can let you have a simple yet precisely solution. On the other hand, the creative thinking also can bring you some negative effects. The very first and serious problem is the Bipolar disorder. According to the Wikipedia, Bipolar disorder is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a category of mood disorders such as mania, milder and hypomania. There is significant evidence to suggest that many people with creative talents have suffered from some form of bipolar disorder, for example the well known artist, Vincent Van Gogh. For your information, the people who involved in art have higher chance to face this disease. Besides that, the public mostly those who are stereotype minded think the people with creative thinking are abnormal. It’s due to the different way we solving problem or the different way we talk.

In the conclusion, we believe that the creative thinking is really important for all of us to develop. You need not to be involved in art. The creative thinking can be apply on everything and it’s better to get start since we are young because the children’s mind are not influence by the bunch of rules, laws and restriction which will limited the growth of creativity. Although there are some negative effect that you might face, but the chances are not high and you can avoid that easily with the correct way of express your emotion.
