This is a great column on being creative, by the chief designer of the popular fantasy card game - Magic The Gathering. He says:
" I found that people used the term "creative" when I did one of several things:
1. I had an original idea. That is, I thought of something that others haven't heard before.
2. I was imaginative. That is, I came up with a concept that, while not new, was used in an unfamiliar way.
3. I was good at problem solving. That is, I was quick to find unique solutions to problems.
4. I excelled at finding many ways to make use of a new idea. That is, I found more avenues than normal to exploit a new concept."
He then goes on to list 10 things you can do to be more creative.
