Creativity can start from anywhere, at times, it just at your finger tips, literally. Today, I am going to share an amazing creativity that literally done with the finger tips.
The site is called Ditology. Ditology is an expansion from the word "Dito" which means finger in Italian. The founder of Ditology is a 33-year-old Italian art director and what he did is creating portraits of famous people on finger tips. Yes, you read that right.
How he did it? He simply takes a picture of his finger and creates portraits of celebrities, historical figures or fictional characters with the help of Photoshop. Following are small samples of his amazing creativity. For the complete collection of his Ditos, check out his site at Ditology.
Mao Tze Tung
Dalai Lama
Mozart
Mr T.
Steve Jobs
I am pretty sure you can recognize most if not all of them without even looking at the caption! ;-) Do share this out in your social networks if you think his creativity warrants your friends' attention.
Nope! It's a 4-D or lotto numbers that I am referring to here!
"07734" is actually a word. Can you guess what could that be? If you are old enough and went through the era of text messaging through a device called "Pager" (I am sure most of the Generation Y would not know what that is), you would probably know what I am referring to here. Think along the line of symbol like ;-P OR :-) but in more primitive and simplified form!
Care to share your answer in the comment? If nobody get it right, I will disclose the answer on 04/06/2011!
Come and think of it, all these cryptic messages came from creativity and thinking out of the box. I believed everyone of us have the flair of creativity, just that we might not use it often enough for it to be fully developed to enable us to think out of the box most of the time.
Also, I believed that environmental/location influence is another important factor to trigger our creative mindset. In short, we need to find out where is the specific location/position/environment (I termed it briefly as "Point Of Creativity") that we can think most creatively.
Take me for example, for all those original quotes that I shared in this blog, most of them strike me during the time when I was in the wash room (maybe it's the cold shower that sprinkling and streaming down my head that trigger all my creative brain juice! haha). So, my "Point Of Creativity" is my wash room. What's yours?
Again, last but not least, my sharing of original quote (all the way from my washroom):
"To fly high, you need to embrace height; To succeed, you need to plant the seed!"
Every now and then, they are new tech gadgets being introduced to the consumer market, I am sure there bounds to be one or two which catches your eyes or WOW you to the max that you can't wait to own it yourself. Most of the recent craze (since 1 or 2 years ago) that caught most of the people's eyes are:
1. 3D TV or game console
2. Features-rich Smartphone (e.g. iPhone)
3. Tablet (e.g. iPad)
But are all these new gadgets deemed original? I personally viewed that majority of the very successful "new" gadgets are not truly original (in terms of the idea behind it) but yet they are popular because they managed to catch the attention of the consumers. It all voice down to the creativity in their marketing strategy.
This bring me to the book that I am currently reading : Attention : This Book Will Make You Money by Jim F. Kukral (Professional speaker, web consultant and entrepreneur). Even though it is focusing more on how to gain attention in the Internet/Online Marketing arena but some of the highlights/ideas in the book are pretty much useful and applicable to life, in general, especially in our modern eWorld. Thus, if you have some time to kill and like to learn more about how to catch attention on the web, you may consider to give it a try (click on the image above to see more details of the book).
Times fly, it's Friday night again and hope that you folks have a GREAT weekend ahead of you and NOT to forget the forthcoming important Day: Father's Day!
Lastly, as usual, sharing my quote here:
"To be creative, it might not be original but to be Original, you need creativity"
