Creative Future

It was very helpful for me to this brief for creative futures, I heard wonderful talks and saw a lot of brilliant works from students and professionals. I saw a lot at the Creative Futures Week and I did learn a lot from it although I couldn’t understand all the details of those talks because English is not my first language.

I’ll begin with “Motivating yourself to get what you really want” from Denise Chilton as that is the most impressive for me, although she didn’t teach me any skill of game design. An effective persuasive speech includes a summary of the evidence presented. She gave us lots of data from her research, at the same time, she gave each of us a questionnaire. Everyone there thought of how satisfy of their lives, what they really need and what they need most at the time. Also she ask some questions and some of the answers she got were quite fun. I should say the atmosphere there was celebratory and I felt happy when I heard it. 

Although everyone could answer the questions as what motivates you, but I realized it was a problem when she want to get personal goals from audiences and there were few answers. A clear goal could help people works twice as fast and with half the fatigue, but there were few people have personal goal.

Back when I was a kid I wanted to be a animator and I drew on a wall of neighbour, then I wanted to be praised and signed my name, but what I got was just scold. After that I was barred to want to be a animator. Although I am doing this, I still believe drawing can motivate me more if my wish was been supported. I realized the importance of goals through this talk. Ensuring a clear goal is not enough, there will be varied things can stop you. Denise Chilton also told us methods to continue our efforts for our goals. The thing what I learned from this talk may be quite simple but it is really important for my work in the future, it is the most basic thing.
