Theories and Ideas

 "A process needed for problem solving...not a special gift enjoyed by a few buta common ability possessed by most people" (Jones 1993)

In some respects i agree with this quotation as creativity is not a gift but more like a talent or mind set that you may or may not have. However most people do have it as each individual may be creative in respects to different things or talents.


"A project that is too well planned lacks opportunities for spontaneity and creativity."

I partly agree with this theory, although our coursework was researched, we didn't necessary plan the idea but more to the point refine it through a drafts.

"Media producers can learn nothing from studying the conventions of old texts"

I disagree with this statement as we can only introduce new elements with old elements to gather creativity and also, old elements of media will be reflective of the media in dependant on the subject.

The creation of bringing something new into existence-"This particular understanding of creativity involves the physical making of something, leading to some form of communication, expression or revelation." (David Gauntlett)

 I agree with this quote as although you think something through when coming up with a piece of creativity, you also in one way or another physically make it, expressing it through communication to relevance.

"If creativity is not inherent in human mental powers and is, in fact, social and  situational, then technological developments may well be linked to advances in the creativity of individual users" (Banaji, Burn and Buckingham, 2006).

Disagree, creativity is nor inherited or developed from technologies else there would be no new ideas in relation to the technologies. You also shouldn't need to depend on your parents to weather they are creative, if anything they would encourage you more and inspire if creative themselves.
