Get Inspired with Think Quarterly’s Creativity Issue!
Monday, April 2, 2012
As the internet comes of age, technology is catching up with our wildest imaginations. We can realize ideas that simply weren’t possible a mere five years ago. And you don’t need to be a technologist or have “Creative” in your title; millions of people around the world are making, remixing, and sharing content everyday.
Case in point: There are over 800 exabytes of digital information in the world – words, videos, photos, music. To put that in context, a volume of the complete works of Shakespeare is about five megabytes. It would take one billion book-filled pickup trucks to make just
one
exabyte. This is our creative output; the sheer volume is equally inspiring and overwhelming.
Where to begin? Right
here
. The Creativity issue of
Think Quarterly
, launching today, documents this far-reaching transformation, cutting through the noise to focus on what it all means.
In “
The Curious Case of Creativity
,” Google VP of Global Marketing Lorraine Twohill sees creativity through an engineer’s eyes — as a way to solve problems, big and small. Interviews with the founders of two award-winning global agencies,
Sir John Hegarty of BBH
and
Ajaz Ahmed of AKQA
, discuss what creativity means in a digital context and how you can encourage it, even at a big company. Creative minds from Mullen, Wieden and Kennedy, Barbarian Group, AKQA, and Anomaly pick their
most envy-inducing digital campaigns
. And “
Lean Communications
” looks at how technology is forcing the traditional creative process to get faster, smarter, and more efficient.
We also explore how the web is inspiring entirely new forms of creativity — YouTube remixes, 3D models, data art and infographics — that are reshaping how we see the world. (And if you want to see how the web shapes your brand in particular, try our new
“Brand Impressions” tool
on
Think Quarterly
and Think Insights.)
