Creativity Techniques
Media without creativity? Unthinkable, unimaginable, impossible. But how does creativity come about? How can you grasp it, make it tangible and visible? When does and doesn't it serve its purpose? This workshop deals with finding ideas, harnessing our creative potential and all the difficulties on the long and rocky road to the 'Big Idea'.
During this two-day event organized by Eyes & Ears of Europe and the MDR, participants will explore the many aspects of creative work. Apart from theoretical study of the topic, participants work on developing their creativity in exercises and group tasks. Because: Everybody is creative – right?!
The event is aimed primarily at individuals working in media and communications companies, (post) production firms, design studios, consultancies, as well as marketing, advertising and dialogue agencies who want to find out more about this topic. Those generally interested, students and trainees are also welcome.
