Creative thinking allows people to find alternative solutions to problems by using their imagination. It is important because new ideas and a positive attitude are always needed, and it prevents boredom. Creative thinking starts by clearly defining the problem, then looking for potential solutions by making associations between ideas and comparing them. Imagination and the willingness to learn new things fuel creative thinking. Curiosity and courage help drive the creative process by encouraging metaphor and analogy use to reinvent ideas.

4. What is Creative Thinking?
Creative Thinking is the ability to find or build alternative
solutions for a given problem.
Publicity is full of this examples.One concept, one image and
there it is! We think of an specific brand.

5. Why is important?
Because ideas and a positive attitude are always necessary.
Because if we go against the boredom and dullness we will need
new tools and strategies.

6. How it starts?
For example, if we have a new idea we will associate and
compare it with more ideas. Then, we will start to build new
projects with these ideas.
The creative thinking allows us to imagine. For example, if we
see a brick we could imagine a castle, a house, a candle
holder, a wall, a floor and many other things.

7. Like having a brick
If we have a brick we could have a candle holder, a
paperweight, a door stop or anything we can imagine.
But if we have more than one
we will could imagine a wall,
a floor, a house or even a castle!

8. OOPS!
But if we want to associate, compare or build ideas we will
need images within ourselves.
We could get a lot of images from fine arts, literature, movies or
publicity.
Also, we always need to be in touch with new knowledge and
learning.

9. Eureka!
These ideas could have been mine!

10. Where can we starts?
Wherever you are, whenever you like!

11. How can we start?
The first thing we need to know is
“What is the problem?”
Secondly we will start look for solutions.

13. Finally
Curiosity and courage will be our advantage. Metaphor and
analogy will be our tools.
