This talk, originally created for the advertising students at the University of Missouri School of Journalism, is modified to talk about creativity in general.
From an innovation session held in a club, early morning, for Media24 in Cape Town.
Everyone got field notebooks and my inescapable goading to use Evernote to capture cultural change and pain points, and a healthy dose of Tom Chi to get them prototyping.
A call to nerdery, niches and documenting their data.
The document discusses several ideas about creativity and the creative process:
1) Creative ideas often arise after stopping deliberate searching for the answer and allowing the subconscious mind to work on the problem.
2) The hardest work of creativity comes after the initial idea, which is transforming the idea into a real thing.
3) While focusing intensely seems like it would help solve problems, it can actually inhibit creative connections; maintaining openness to new possibilities is important for creativity.
Creative memo-making in academic practice - learners and teachers 2014 novSus Louise
Roskilde University Denmark (UNIPÆD workshop for teaching staff): Creative memo-taking: How to make note taking more fun and effective -
From time to time everybody needs to take notes; they may be attending a seminar, a meeting or perhaps supervising groups of students.
Taking minutes can be a both incredibly boring and ineffective exercise and often when one goes back to the notes months later, making sense of them can sometimes be difficult. In recent years memory techniques, or mnemonics as they are also called, have become increasingly popular. One of the most famous is the memory palace. In essence, by creating a link to a positive memory of a physical place one organizes the new knowledge and information in recognizable locations. Mind-mapping is another, also well known, way of doing remembering differently.
In this workshop we are going to use similar, but completely different, techniques to make note-taking more effective, more memorable and hopefully more fun. The method uses creativity and naïvistic art to create notes that both grasp the essence of what is being talked about and visually illustrate and question the note-taker’s subjective take on the matter. The aim is not for the notes to be beautiful or even artistic in the aesthetical sense; the aim is to use recognizable and general symbols, objects and icons that will help trigger and re-trigger the meaning being captured in the notes – even after a long time.
Before attending please prepare a two-minute talk about one of the following:
• Republican or royalist?
• Why the theory/practice gap in teaching is so great
• My worst ever journey to work
See you soon
Sometimes making choices in our career paths is difficult. Wouldn't it be helpful to have guidelines to help us make decisions that open up your options rather than shut them down? Discover how choosing creativity, a growth mindset, finding your Flow, and being a Maker puts you on the path of having infinite possibilities in your career, creating a clear path to a future where you can not only be awesome, but also do meaningful work.
There's a movement brewing built upon leveraging the transformative power of creativity to help us work and create better so that we can produce work infused with meaning. Discover how by knowing your Why, instilling tiny habits to cultivate your creative spark, and finally, fomenting creative collaboration based on the tenets of improv and open spaces, you can take the spark of Creativity (R)Evolution and use it as the impetus to push you, your teams, and your companies to create Betterness.
The document discusses flow, a mental state of complete absorption and focus in an activity. It summarizes research by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi who coined the term "flow". The document then provides a system for harnessing flow with 9 components: clear goals, concentration, loss of self-consciousness, distorted time perception, immediate feedback, balance of ability and challenge, sense of control, intrinsically rewarding actions, and narrowed focus on the activity. It recommends setting goals for work sessions, limiting distractions, getting feedback through early releases, and training attention. Integrating these components can help produce better work in less time while finding the work more gratifying.

This document discusses using conversation to increase innovation, improve group performance, and share knowledge. It provides tips for having more innovative conversations, including making individuals smarter through discussion, being open to new ideas, taking equal turns in discussions, and bringing together diverse groups of people. The document emphasizes that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts when it comes to group work, and that new ideas often emerge through casual conversations rather than solitary work. It also stresses the importance of online collaboration and using tools like microblogging and networking sites to connect people.

Slides from my talk around storytelling in design at the Digital Pond meet up on 06 Feb 2014
http://www.meetup.com/The-Digital-Pond/events/159211742/
Stories have played an important part in our societies and development through history. In the last few years it's gained attention as a tool for and important aspect in communication, and rightfully so.

As an entrepreneur and a creative, you need ways to work better so that you can create more, but what do you do when you hit a seemingly insurmountable mental wall? You need to get unblocked: to bust through that barrier to allow creativity to flow. Beware: this presentation challenges the standard norms around concentration, focus, productivity, and may change how you work…for the better.
The document discusses mental models and how people form conceptual understandings of how things work. It provides examples of how mental models can be faulty if they are based on incomplete or incorrect information. Faulty mental models can lead people to falsely blame themselves or others for problems. The document also discusses the nature of human goals, actions, and errors, explaining that people routinely make mistakes in their actions due to slips or failures of intention rather than deliberate mistakes.
Banish Your Inner Critic to Unleash Creativity – edUi Conference 2015Denise Jacobs
This document summarizes a presentation about banishing the inner critic to unleash creativity. It discusses how the inner critic uses negative self-talk to suppress creative expression through fears of failure or judgment. It provides techniques for identifying and managing the inner critic such as replacing negative thoughts with positive self-talk, avoiding comparisons, establishing boundaries, and embracing an experimental mindset of learning through failures rather than insisting on perfection. The goal is to manage anxiety and fears so one's energies can be used for creative work rather than self-criticism.

A collection of images of different landscapes in Scotland. This will probably always be a work in progress but my intention is to examine the families of rocks which make up the different terranes in Scotland and illustrate the characteristics of the resultant landscapes. This is the introduction. Teachers can pick and mix the slides to suit themselves or if you are an armchair geographer / geologist, then you can just put it to music and enjoy.

Alternative Design Workflows in a "PostPSD" EraJeremy Fuksa
Presented at SXSW Interactive 2014.
As responsive design and progressive enhancement become mainstream design practices, the decades old approach of using Adobe Photoshop to comp up page designs for clients is becoming increasingly irrelevant. A quick search online shows designers quickly clamoring for a better way to do their work.
Along with new tools to learn, there's also the challenge of acclimating a client base that has been used to seeing fully-rendered Photoshop designs for decades. How do these new practices benefit them?
This presentation looks at some "post-Photoshop" design practices and how they might fit into a designer's workflow. Additionally, Jeremy will share how a new design workflow has worked for his team at Clickfarm and how clients have received this new way of looking at their projects.

il mio intervento al convegno : "Cosa fareste con 300Mbps di Banda Larga?" presso il VEGA, Parco Scientifico Tecnologico di Venezia, il 26 Dicembre 2010
She may represent different things to the speaker on different days. She could bring him heaven or hell. She could be the beauty he sees or the beast. She could be the source of famine or feast. She is a mirror for his dreams. Her smile reflected in a stream is beautiful. Though she seems happy in a crowd, her eyes show private pride and pain when she cries alone. She may be the love that cannot last, or the reason he survives. She is the why and where of his life. He will care for her through the years, and take her laughter and tears as souvenirs. She is the morning of his life.
How To Be Creative: Presented to AAF-DubuqueJeremy Fuksa
The document provides tips for improving creativity. It begins by stating creativity is not just innate talent but can be developed. It then lists four assumptions to make including that there are always better tools, events will happen regardless of learning about them, understanding of the universe is limited, and creating what you care about today is most important. It emphasizes that ideas are cheap but execution is difficult. Tips include starting even if you suck at first, having a ritual, keeping trying ideas, and eventually improving.

The document provides a collection of quotes and sayings related to taking action, experimenting, failing, and innovating. Some key ideas expressed are:
- Start doing things now rather than planning excessively. Intelligent action is better than inaction.
- Experiment frequently and be willing to fail, as failure is an important part of the learning process. Try new things even if you might screw them up.
- Pursue bold missions and hire unusual people who can drive innovative change through experimentation.
We all have the capability to be innovative. The challenge is how to channel the creativity of both individuals and organisations to deliver exceptional fundraising results.

S2 authors purpose and perspective pre-reading_finalPraveen Tyagi
This document discusses identifying an author's intent or purpose for writing a piece. It explains that the three main reasons an author writes are to persuade, entertain, or inform. Several examples are then provided and analyzed to determine if the intent is to persuade, entertain, or inform. The document aims to teach readers how to identify an author's intent by first ruling out what the intent is not and determining which of the three main reasons remains.

The document advocates drawing on one's own life experiences and timeline of key events as a way to craft effective stories for telling and influencing others.
The document discusses using stories and storytelling as a way to influence people and effect change. It covers three brain theory which suggests that the unconscious mind controls most behavior. It also discusses listening for stories, thinking with stories, and telling stories to communicate insights and wisdom in a contextual way rather than just presenting facts. The goal is to use stories to help people understand different perspectives and motivate change.
This document summarizes the key points from various speakers at a TEDx event. It discusses the impactful talks given by photographers documenting humanitarian crises, psychologists discussing optimism, entrepreneurs transforming industries like food and wine, and musicians inspiring social change. The overall theme is how sharing stories and ideas can spark positive change in the world.
This document discusses prototyping as an alternative to designing websites solely in Photoshop. It notes that Photoshop is better suited to painting individual images rather than designing entire websites. Prototyping allows getting code and designs in front of users earlier through live wireframing tools and visual coding. This helps avoid wasting time designing elements that may not be needed. It also discusses challenges that may arise when adopting new workflows, including getting buy-in from teammates, clients, and managing expectations of what can be delivered. Education and choosing the right tools for each project are important.
Alternative Design Workflows in a Post-PSD Era - WordCamp KC 2014Jeremy Fuksa
As responsive design and progressive enhancement become mainstream design practices, the decades old approach of using Adobe Photoshop to comp up page designs for clients is becoming increasingly irrelevant. A quick search online shows designers quickly clamoring for a better way to do their work.
Along with new tools to learn, there’s also the challenge of acclimating a client base that has been used to seeing fully-rendered Photoshop designs for decades. How do these new practices benefit them?
This presentation looks at some “post-Photoshop” design practices and how they might fit into a designer’s workflow. Additionally, Jeremy will share how a new design workflow has worked for his team at Clickfarm and how clients have received this new way of looking at their projects.
This document discusses how to get rich by focusing on caring for others and creating value for an audience rather than focusing on money. It suggests recording content for an ideal target audience and provides contact information for Jeremy Fuksa who can provide more information on the topic.
The Responsive Grid & You: Extending Your WordPress Site Across Multiple Dev...Jeremy Fuksa
Presented to WordCamp KC 2011.
If you are a web designer of any type, you're interested in making sure your designs are faithful AND useful to the widest audience possible. This has been true for years. But now, your audience has widened to mobile users and also users on HDTVs. How do you accommodate them? Simple: Responsive Web Design.
This talk shows how to use some of the open source responsive CSS frameworks to make sites that are fluid and adaptable to a wide range of devices.
The document is a presentation on how to be creative. It discusses that creativity is not just inspiration but hard work. It provides tips for a creative process, including ignoring distractions and assuming there are always better tools. The presentation emphasizes that ideas are easy but execution is difficult, and advises just starting a project even if the initial results are poor. It also notes that most creative people struggle throughout the process.
"Creative Turtleheads" is the Pecha Kucha presentation I gave at the Art+Copy Club of Kansas City's "Bulletproof" event.
This presentation delved into the archives of all my personal creative projects and shows some of the unfinished work I've done.
And, of course, I boil it all down to a poop joke.
I did this deck as a quick overview on how to create a Pecha Kucha deck for an upcoming event the Art+Copy Club of Kansas City is holding on April 23rd.
While a couple of slides are specific to the event, I thought these pointers might be helpful to anyone who is thinking about attempting Pecha Kucha themselves.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
