Highly creative people exhibit several distinct behaviors and characteristics according to research. They daydream often which can lead to insights. They observe everything in the world around them and find inspiration in daily life. They also value solitude, taking time alone to allow their minds to wander. They tend to be intrinsically motivated by passions and turn life's difficulties into fuel for creative work. Overall, creative types have curious, open minds and make unconventional connections between ideas.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

3. reativity works
in mysterious and often
paradoxical ways. Creative
thinking is a stable, defin-
ing characteristic in some
personalities, but it may also
change based on situation
and context. Inspiration and
ideas often arise seemingly
out of nowhere and then fail
to show up when we most
need them, and creative
thinking requires complex
cognition yet is completely
distinct from the thinking
process.
Neuroscience paints a
complicated picture of
creativity. As scientists now
understand it, creativity is
far more complex than the
right-left brain distinction
would have us think (the
theory being that left brain
= rational and analytical,
right brain = creative and
emotional). In fact, creativity
is thought to involve a number
of cognitive processes, neural
pathways and emotions, and
we still don’t have the full pic-
ture of how the imaginative
mind works.
And psychologically speak-
ing, creative personality
types are difficult to pin down,
largely because they’re com-
plex, paradoxical and tend
to avoid habit or routine. And
it’s not just a stereotype of
the “tortured artist” -- artists
really may be more compli-
cated people. Research has
suggested that creativity
involves the coming together
of a multitude of traits, behav-
iors and social influences in a
single person.
“It’s actually hard for creative
people to know themselves
be cause the creative self
is more complex than the
non-creative self,” Scott Barry
Kaufman, a psychologist at
New York University who
has spent years researching
creativity, told The Huffington
Post. “The things that stand
out the most are the para-
doxes of the creative self
... Imaginative people have
messier minds.”
While there’s no “typical”
creative type, there are some
tell-tale characteristics and
behaviors of highly creative
people.
Here are 18 things
they do differently.
C
4. Creative types know, de-
spite what their third-grade
teachers may have said, that
daydreaming is anything but a
waste of time.
According to Kaufman and
psychologist Rebecca L.
McMillan, who co-authored a
paper titled “Ode To Positive
Constructive Daydreaming,”
mind-wandering can aid in
the process of “creative incu-
bation.” And of course, many
of us know from experience
that our best ideas come
seemingly out of the blue
when our minds are else-
where.
Although daydreaming may
seem mindless, a 2012 study
suggested it could actually in-
volve a highly engaged brain
state -- daydreaming can lead
to sudden connections and
insights because it’s related
to our ability to recall infor-
mation in the face of distrac-
tions. Neuroscientists have
also found that daydream-
ing involves the same brain
processes associated with
imagination and creativity.
“...daydreaming can lead to sudden
connections and insights.”
THEY DAYDREAM.
5. The world is a creative per-
son’s oyster -- they see pos-
sibilities everywhere and are
constantly taking in informa-
tion that becomes fodder for
creative expression. As Henry
James is widely quoted, a
writer is someone on whom
“nothing is lost.”
The writer Joan Didion kept a
notebook with her at all times,
and said that she wrote down
observations about people
and events as, ultimately, a
way to better understand the
complexities and contradic-
tions of her own mind:
“However dutifully we record
what we see around us, the
common denominator of all
we see is always, transparent-
ly, shamelessly, the implaca-
ble ‘I,’” Didion wrote in her es-
say On Keeping A Notebook.
“We are talking about some-
thing private, about bits of the
mind’s string too short to use,
an indiscriminate and erratic
assemblage with meaning
only for its marker.”
Many great artists have said that
they do their best work either
very early in the morning or late
at night. Vladimir Nabokov start-
ed writing immediately after he
woke up at 6 or 7 a.m., and Frank
Lloyd Wright made a practice
of waking up at 3 or 4 a.m. and
working for several hours before
heading back to bed. No matter
when it is, individuals with high
creative output will often fig-
ure out what time it is that their
minds start firing up, and struc-
ture their days accordingly.
THEYOBSERVEEVERYTHING.
THEY WORK THE
HOURS THAT
WORK FOR THEM.
6. “In order to be open to cre-
ativity, one must have the ca-
pacity for constructive use of
solitude. One must overcome
the fear of being alone,” wrote
the American existential psy-
chologist Rollo May.
Artists and creatives are often
stereotyped as being loners,
and while this may not actu-
ally be the case, solitude can
be the key to producing their
best work. For Kaufman, this
links back to daydreaming --
we need to give ourselves the
time alone to simply allow our
minds to wander.
“You need to get in touch with
that inner monologue to be
able to express it,” he says.
“It’s hard to find that inner
creative voice if you’re ... not
getting in touch with yourself
and reflecting on yourself.”
Artists and creatives
are often stereotyped
as being loners, and
while this may not ac-
tually be the case, sol-
itude can be the key
to producing their
best work.
THEY TAKE TIME FOR SOLITUDE.
7. Many of the most iconic stories
and songs of all time have
been inspired by gut-wrench-
ing pain and heartbreak -- and
the silver lining of these chal-
lenges is that they may have
been the catalyst to create
great art. An emerging field of
psychology called post-trau-
matic growth is suggesting that
many people are able to use
their hardships and early-life
trauma for substantial creative
growth. Specifically, research-
ers have found that trauma
can help people to grow in the
areas of interpersonal relation-
ships, spirituality, appreciation
of life, personal strength, and
-- most importantly for creativ-
ity -- seeing new possibilities
in life.
“A lot of people are able to
use that as the fuel they need
to come up with a different
perspective on reality,” says
Kaufman. “What’s happened is
that their view of the world as a
safe place, or as a certain type
of place, has been shattered at
some point in their life, causing
them to go on the periphery
and see things in a new, fresh
light, and that’s very conducive
to creativity.”
THEY TURN LIFE’S OBSTACLES
AROUND.
8. THEY “FAIL
UP.”
Resilience is practically a pre-
requisite for creative success,
says Kaufman. Doing creative
work is often described as a
process of failing repeatedly
until you find something that
sticks, and creatives -- at least
the successful ones -- learn
not to take failure so person-
ally.
“Creatives fail and the really
good ones fail often,” Forbes
contributor Steven Kotler wrote
in a piece on Einstein’s creative
genius.
Creative people love to expose
themselves to new experienc-
es, sensations and states of
mind -- and this openness is a
significant predictor of creative
output.
“Openness to experience is
consistently the strongest
predictor of creative achieve-
ment,” says Kaufman. “This
consists of lots of different
facets, but they’re all related to
each other: Intellectual curi-
osity, thrill seeking, openness
to your emotions, openness to
fantasy. The thing that brings
them all together is a drive for
cognitive and behavioral explo-
ration of the world, your inner
world and your outer world.”
THEY SEEK OUT NEW
EXPERIENCES.
“Creative
people are
insatiably
curious.”
9. THEY ASK THE BIG
QUESTIONS.
Creative people are insatiably curious -- they gener-
ally opt to live the examined life, and even as they get
older, maintain a sense of curiosity about life. Whether
through intense conversation or solitary mind-wander-
ing, creatives look at the world around them and want
to know why, and how, it is the way it is.
10. Observant by nature and curi-
ous about the lives of others,
creative types often love to
people-watch -- and they
may generate some of their
best ideas from it.
“[Marcel] Proust spent almost
his whole life people-watch-
ing, and he wrote down his
observations, and it eventu-
ally came out in his books,”
says Kaufman. “For a lot of
writers, people-watching is
very important ... They’re keen
observers of human nature.”
THEYPEOPLE-WATCH.
Part of doing creative work is
taking risks, and many cre-
ative types thrive off of taking
risks in various aspects of
their lives.
“There is a deep and mean-
ingful connection between
risk taking and creativity and
it’s one that’s often over-
looked,” contributor Steven
Kotler wrote in Forbes.
“Creativity is the act of mak-
ing something from nothing.
It requires making public
those bets first placed by
imagination. This is not a job
for the timid. Time wasted,
reputation tarnished, money
not well spent -- these are
all by-products of creativity
gone awry.”
THEY TAKE RISKS.
11. THEY VIEW ALL OF LIFE AS AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR SELF-EXPRESSION.
Nietzsche believed that one’s
life and the world should be
viewed as a work of art. Cre-
ative types may be more likely
to see the world this way, and
to constantly seek opportu-
nities for self-expression in
everyday life.
“Creative expression is self-ex-
pression,” says Kaufman. “Cre-
ativity is nothing more than an
individual expression of your
needs, desires and unique-
ness.”
THEY FOLLOW THEIR TRUE
PASSIONS.
Creative people tend to be
intrinsically motivated -- mean-
ing that they’re motivated to
act from some internal desire,
rather than a desire for ex-
ternal reward or recognition.
Psychologists have shown that
creative people are energized
by challenging activities, a sign
of intrinsic motivation, and the
research suggests that sim-
ply thinking of intrinsic reasons
to perform an activity may be
enough to boost creativity.
“Eminent creators choose and
become passionately involved in
challenging, risky problems that
provide a powerful sense of pow-
er from the ability to use their
talents,” write M.A. Collins and
T.M. Amabile in The Handbook of
Creativity.
12. Kaufman argues that another
purpose of daydreaming is to
help us to get out of our own
limited perspective and ex-
plore other ways of thinking,
which can be an important
asset to creative work.
“Daydreaming has evolved
to allow us to let go of the
present,” says Kaufman. “The
same brain network associ-
ated with daydreaming is the
brain network associated with
theory of mind -- I like calling it
the ‘imagination brain network’
-- it allows you to imagine your
future self, but it also allows
you to imagine what someone
else is thinking.”
Research has also suggested
that inducing “psychological
distance” -- that is, taking
another person’s perspective
or thinking about a question as
if it was unreal or unfamiliar --
can boost creative thinking.
THEY GET OUT OF THEIR
OWN HEADS.
13. THEY LOSE TRACK
OF THE TIME.Creative types may find that
when they’re writing, dancing,
painting or expressing them-
selves in another way, they get
“in the zone,” or what’s known
as a flow state, which can help
them to create at their highest
level. Flow is a mental state
when an individual transcends
conscious thought to reach a
heightened state of effortless
concentration and calmness.
When someone is in this state,
they’re practically immune to
any internal or external pres-
sures and distractions that
could hinder their performance.
You get into the flow state
when you’re performing an
activity you enjoy that you’re
good at, but that also challeng-
es you -- as any good creative
project does.
“[Creative people] have found
the thing they love, but they’ve
also built up the skill in it to be
able to get into the flow state,”
says Kaufman. “The flow state
requires a match between your
skill set and the task or activity
you’re engaging in.”
THEY SURROUND THEM-
SELVES WITH BEAUTY.
Creatives tend to have excellent
taste, and as a result, they enjoy
being surrounded by beauty.
A study recently published
in the journal Psychology of
Aesthetics, Creativity, and the
Arts showed that musicians --
including orchestra musicians,
music teachers, and soloists --
exhibit a high sensitivity and re-
sponsiveness to artistic beauty.
14. In the words of Steve Jobs:
“Creativity is just connecting
things. When you ask creative
people how they did some-
thing, they feel a little guilty
because they didn’t really do
it, they just saw something. It
seemed obvious to them after
a while. That’s because they
were able to connect experi-
ences they’ve had and synthe-
size new things.”
If there’s one thing that
distinguishes highly creative
people from others, it’s the
ability to see possibilities
where others don’t -- or, in
other words, vision. Many
great artists and writers have
said that creativity is simply
the ability to connect the dots
that others might never think
to connect.
THEY CONNECT
THE DOTS.
15. Diversity of experience, more
than anything else, is critical
to creativity, says Kaufman.
Creatives like to shake things
up, experience new things,
and avoid anything that
makes life more monotonous
or mundane.
“Creative people have more
diversity of experiences, and
habit is the killer of diversity
of experience,” says Kaufman.
THEY CONSTANTLY
SHAKE THINGS UP.
THEY MAKE TIME FOR
MINDFULNESS.
Creative types understand the
value of a clear and focused
mind -- because their work
depends on it. Many artists,
entrepreneurs, writers and
other creative workers, such
as David Lynch, have turned to
meditation as a tool for tapping
into their most creative state of
mind.
And science backs up the idea
that mindfulness really can
boost your brain power in a
number of ways. A 2012 Dutch
study suggested that certain
meditation techniques can
promote creative thinking.
And mindfulness practices
have been linked with im-
proved memory and focus,
better emotional well-being,
reduced stress and anxiety,
and improved mental clarity
-- all of which can lead to
better creative thought.
