We live in a world that is bound by borders and restrictions that we abide by and there is no doubt that these limitations unconsciously stunted our ability to be creative beyond what we can ever imagine. All human beings one way or another have the ability to be creative and to think outside the box and push past our limitations of what we can achieve. With that being said, you don’t have to be Vincent Van Gogh to capture the art of being creative or Thomas Edison to have the creative power to invent a light bulb. To put it quite simply, being creative is all about ‘How you can apply your mind, skills and tools to solve the problems at hand’. Have a look at the 8 Jobs below that require some degree of creativeness.
Music Producer
A music producer’s job is to oversee the overall development of a musicians’ songs. They need to be able to gather different ideas and thoughts for the project and apply them in a creative manner that can fulfil the vocals, sound effects and instruments to ensure that the end result is a track or song that can be promoted. This usually requires a lot of trial and error in recording sessions and it is the music producers job to have that creative ear.
Chef
When we think of creativity, a chef doesn’t normally spring to mind but when we think about it, food is about mixing flavours together and cooking it well then presenting it in a way that is pleasurable to eat and all this requires a chef to be creative. The creative component of food has never really taken off in the past but there is one chef who does this remarkably well who inspires others to be creative around food is Heston Blumenthal owner of The Fat Duck.
Inventor
Inventors often establish a need for something, a product that could be of use, to make our day to day lives easier. They don’t have to be extraordinary ideas like a teleportation machine but it could be something as simple as a clothes hanger. Often inventors thing outside the box without limitations and boundaries and are referred to as creators because they identify the problems that we encounter on a day to day basis and create a by-product that can solve the problem.
Entrepreneurs
Business minded people are motivated to solve problems by helping people and thus forming a business around the product or service that has helped these people solve their problems and they use the model to generate a revenue. Entrepreneurs, are always creative thinkers. They are creative in a sense that they need to produce ideas that evolve into helping people solve problems and emerge into new businesses.
Makeup Artist
A makeup artist is photoshopper in real life, these people have extreme attention to detail and lots of creative skills to trick the human eye. It is amazing what a little makeup can do to help achieve whether that is a costume party event or to the more glamourous Victoria Secret runway. But there is one thing for sure and that is makeup artists can portray their creativeness very much like artists do through a touch of a brush.
Architects
Architects need to have a solid understanding of calculations and know the possibilities and restrictions of the materials they are working with. They also need to understand lines and angles and have a vision of what is possible and what is not. To be an architect you need to have that creative edge that allows you to solve problems in a creative way. Being a creative thinker will allow you to design a building that is not only awe inspiring but also adheres to the safety regulations.
Removalists
Removalists are often seen as a labour some job, however great removalists will not only bring their muscle brute force but also their creative methods of quickly and innovatively shifting the furniture around through tight narrow corners of a house and directing them into the back of a removal truck. It takes common sense but also a creative mind to be able to do it quickly and effectively and at times when furniture will not fit down the stairs or through a tight corner, a creative removalist will be able to creatively manufacture in his or her mind a possible way to safely get a piece of big furniture down the stairs with the assistance of harnesses and ropes just so that no disassembling needs to be done.
Video Game Designer
Video game designers are a bit like storytellers but they need to creatively portray a storyline as well as depict a different world to the real world because when people play video games they get consumed into the game as if they are a part of it. This is what makes a good game and this is what stems from a great video game designer. Great video game designers also add a whole new dimension an imaginary world where anything is possible and that is where the creative flare of a video game designer comes in and explores the dimensions of creative possibilities.
