When to use it

Use it to stimulate open and divergent thinking and seek creative new ideas.

Use it to re-ignite creative thinking when you are running out of ideas.

Use it to get people out of a rut when their thinking is still rather conventional.

How to use it

1. Find a random word

Find a random word that will be used as a stimulus for new ideas. You can do this in a number of ways, including:

• Look around you. What can you see? Can you see any words? What about things? What else is happening?
• Open a book at a random page. Run your finger around the page and stop at a random point. Look for a suitable word near your finger.
• Ask the people you are with to give you a random word.
• Select a word from a prepared list of evocative words (fire, child, brick, sausage, etc.)

Good random words are (a) evocative and (b) nothing to do with the problem being considered. Ambiguity also helps. Nouns are usually best, but verbs and adjectives can also be used effectively.

2. Find associations

Think about other things about which the word reminds you. Follow associations to see where they go. Think openly: associations can be vague and tenuous (this is creativity, not an exam!).

When working with a group of people, you can write these down on a flipchart as people call them out. It can be useful (but not necessary) to leave a space after each associate for use in stage 3.

3. Use the associations to create new ideas

Now create new ideas by linking any of the associations with your problem. Again, the linkage can be as vague as you like: what you want is ideas!

Write the ideas either next to their associations from step 2 or on a separate page.

If other people give ideas that trigger further ideas from you, then you can go off down that route to see where it goes.

As a variant, you can do stages 2 and 3 together, finding an association and an immediate idea from this.

Example

I am seeking a way to reduce discomfort for passengers on trains.

With a group of passengers, we look out of the window and see a school.

Associations from school are learning, bullying, exams, playtime.

Ideas include teaching the rail company how uncomfortable the seats are, taking a firm stance in this, giving marks for different trains and seats and having games on trains so passengers do not notice the uncomfortable seats.

How it works

Random Words works in particular by making you go elsewhere for ideas, and hence pushes you out of your current thinking rut. It uses the principle of forced association to make you think in new ways and create very different ideas.

Exercise

for this exercise we have to create a scary image or object that will instill dear among people through out the age. the random words is kitten. It has to be simple and easy to understand or to deliver something that people not easily to get confused.

Juxtaposition

- Juxtaposition means contrast or similarity are shown through comparison. Many creative processes rely on juxtaposition. By juxtaposing two objects or words next to each other, human brain will automatically associate or transfer meaning. Usually ‘turning’ something familiar to something less familiar or vice-versa.


for this exercise we have to choose the no from 0 to 99.i choose number 23,29,27.after that we have to choose it a pair example no 2 and 3,2 and 9,2 and 7.so i have 23:lighning and wind,29:lightning and rain,27:lightning and tree.then we have to make a simple sentence according to the pair.then we have to sketch using sentence that we make..so that is exercise that i have do at the class..

last exercise we have to do is we have to sketch two animal combined and make it possible to live.i choose cat and fish.because cat and fish when we combine they cannot live because cat cannot live in the water then fish cannot live without the water.so after they combine the cannot survive.

this exercise we have to create a poem that decribe the concept of love from title have been given.

Defining Novelty

Novelty is the quality of being new and fresh and interesting to public. it is something that people create which has never been heard anywhere in the world before.


Defining Innovation


Innovation where we produce and implement ideas. Its a complex process of re-invent product, idea and concept to the society for commercialize. The process that involve novelty, validty, increment and realization. The society will benefit by innovation, not from the invention alone.


Defining Invention
Invention is something that we create. It involves high mental activity to introduce a whole new idea, product and concept. It is a creation which results from study and experimentation. It is also involve creative power or ability which is skills.

Defining Creativity

There’re thousand of different meanings in defining "creativity". Based on Wikipedia.com, creativity is a mental process involving the discovery of new ideas or concepts, or new associations of the existing ideas or concepts, fuelled by the process of either conscious or unconscious insight. While Brainstorming.co.uk defined creativity is the bringing into being of something which did not exist before, either as a product, a process or a thought. Virtualsalt.com said that creativity is ability, an attitude and a process.

After finished studying those articles, I think that creativity is the capability to imagine or think up something new or something which did not exist before. Based on Virtualsalt.com, creativity is not the ability to create out of nothing, but the ability to generate new ideas and new concepts by combining, changing, or reapplying existing ideas.Creative thinking is the process which we use and apply when we come up with a new idea. For example, is brainstorming. Brainstorming works by combining someone's ideas with our own to create a new one. Creative thinking process can be accidental or deliberate.

Mind Mapping

A mind map is a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks, or other items linked to and arranged around a central key word or idea. Mind maps are used to generate, visualize, structure, and classify ideas, and as an aid to studyingand organizing information, solving problems, making decisions, and writing.

The elements of a given mind map are arranged intuitively according to the importance of the concepts, and are classified into groupings, branches, or areas, with the goal of representing semantic or other connections between portions of information. Mind maps may also aid recall of existing memories.

By presenting ideas in a radial, graphical, non-linear manner, mind maps encourage a brainstorming approach to planning and organizational tasks. Though the branches of a mindmap represent hierarchical tree structures, their radial arrangement disrupts the prioritizing of concepts typically associated with hierarchies presented with more linear visual cues. This orientation towards brainstorming encourages users to enumerate and connect concepts without a tendency to begin within a particular conceptual framework.

The mind map can be contrasted with the similar idea of concept mapping. The former is based on radial hierarchies and tree structures denoting relationships with a central governing concept, whereas concept maps are based on connections between concepts in more diverse patterns.
