Creative Superpowers Review

I chose to read the book Creative Superpowers as I thought it would be interesting to learn and gain knowledge from a subject that isn’t directly ‘fashion’ related. The tag line on the front cover reads “equip yourself for the age of creativity” and as someone who has always enjoyed being very creative I thought reading this may give me a deeper insight. What I liked about the book is that it’s not written from just one person’s perspective, there is multiple sources from different people from all walks of life. Such as musicians, runners and creative directors. It get’s you thinking about creativity in a different way. A quote I admired from the book was “true learning happens when we value curiosity, investigation, experimentation, research and reflection, all of which are key features in making” I know some of my lecturers have encouraged these processed before and I’m still trying to become more open minded with my own design process and forget all the linear learning we had drilled into us at school, something this book also discusses. Another quote I was fond of read “make things about the stuff you love and the stuff you hate” putting emphasis on the idea that it’s important to just keep making and generating new ideas even if there is mistakes or things you aren’t so fond of, you can learn from them and then carry on and make something else greater.
