Lesson 02 Novelty, Creativity, Innovation and Invention

In week 3, I learned about Novelty, Creativity, Innovation and Invention in Creative Studies class.Although these four terms seem like have close connection to each other, they have their own personal meaning respectively.

Novelty
Novelty is defined as the quality of being new, fresh and interesting which is always based on what has been created before.

This is a novelty design for metal "spring" hook

Creativity
Creativity is defined as the ability to generate new ideas by combining, changing or reapplying existing ideas, or a new approach of making things.

This is a creative design for paper bag.

Innovation
Innovation is defined as a process of making improvement by adding new elements or creative ideas into the social context.

This is a innovation design for head set system

Invention
Invention can be defined as a new composition, device or process.

This is a new design for motorbike which has only one wheel.

Reflection

In my opinion, we should learn and understand each meaning of Novelty,Innovation,Invention, and Creativity in order to create and design new things. We, as a creative person, are not only about thinking new ideas (Creativity and Novelty), but also doing new things based on the new ideas. These four terms can be used together by supporting each other in the process of making creative stuff. They are really helpful on the process of either making creative thing or being creative people. Let's learn it and be creative!
