- has nothing to do with technology


To fully appreciate the statement made in the title of this article, you'd have to know that I'm a "techie" at heart. I love toys...um, I mean tools. I only call them tools when I'm talking to the Pastor. Every other time: toys. I like to edit. I enjoy shooting (camera work). Building graphics brings me great satisfaction. And all of those things require a certain amount of equipment.

Whoops. I am talking about toys again and my first statement contradicts that entirely. Focus...focus...focus.

Let's start again.

Creativity has nothing to do with technology. It certainly has nothing to do with the type of toys you have or even how many toys you get to play with.

No, creativity is what enables you to use those toys. You can create, change, erase and rework because of that creativity...but to be creative puts no requirements on the pocketbook.

There are two groups reading this article: the left-brained and the right-brained.

“Left Brain vs. Right Brain”

You right brainers are skimming through this article already. But the left brainers are reading every line - and some of you are using a ruler or your finger to keep your exact place on the page. Gotcha.

The left-brain crowd is looking for things that will make them creative: examples, video clips, resources, contact information, etc. Let me assure you that it's coming in a few paragraphs.

The right-brain crowd has completely blown past this paragraph, skimming for keywords like Sony or Microsoft or www.freestuffthatyoumayormaynotneed.com. What's hilarious to the left brainers is that the right brainers just saw "Sony" as they were skimming and came to an immediate stop, only to not understand the conversation that's being had about them. Don't fret, I've got stuff for you too.

So what creativity tips can I give you in a text format? I'm going to give you two main things: some examples here in written form, as well as a list of resources for you to use when initiating this media journey.

Both sides of the brain-crowd are now happy.
