Naota Fukasawa
Japanese designer, whom is the epitome of being creative Without Thought, being playful and also being unique.
His visuals are rather unseen, abstract and very unusual. He practices the whole concept of creativity in everything he does. He's design philosophy is being creative Without Thought, clearly he feels that creativity is meant to be effortless and boundary free. He has managed to successfully apply his philosophy in his art works, which is what makes him unique. He feels that "People shouldn't really have
to think about an object when using it. Not having to think about it makes the relationship between a person and object run more smoothly. Finding ideas in people,s spontaneous behaviour and realizing these ideas in design is what Without Thought is about" (Naotafukasawa.com,2015)
Photography
see when people are on a quest of "finding themselves" and are on a road of discovery, i too ventured into 10 different routes trying to find what I love and things I would enjoy…
I then discovered my love for photography, I was fascinated by what the lens and the camera would do. my passion for it grew by the day and went as far as getting a mentor to teach me what i had to know, fortunately enough I did enjoy every aspect of photography, from street, portraits, landscape, scenery, fashion and many more.
Its really amazing how the camera can capture moments and make the, last a lifetime and how when the object meets the lens and accentuates its beauty!!!
In actual fact I have many other aspirations that include photography, like being a photojournalist for
the great giant National Geographics or Animal planet!!
Below is some of my work, a combination of both street and night photography
Alternative hip hop and the growth of the genre
Basic Definition and History
Alternative hip hop is a sub genre of hip hop that has been growing at vast rate and still continues to exist with its fellow "siblings" such as gangster rap. This comprises of a wide range of styles of hip hop that have not been identified in the mainstream, as the kick drums and synthesizers differ to your commercial hip hop songs. This genre originated in the late-80s and lead by music pioneers that had a huge impact in sampling jazz notes to orchestra type beats, to infiltrate retro feel into the hip hop genre. Alternative hip hop is also considered the "Golden Era" in hip hop, because of the groups and artists that lead this form of music into the present, which were mostly East coast artist such as the likes of The Fugees, De La Soul, Outkast and A Tribe Called Quest.
Growth And Relevancy In The Industry
This genre spread out and became known internationally through certain songs and has also evolved into switching to the younger crowd, that wouldn't know songs like Outkast - Elevators (Me and You)
(Song/Video link: http://youtu.be/aIXyKmElvv8) which was composed and released 1996 with the likes of The Fugees - Ready Or Not
(Song/Video Link: http://youtu.be/aIXyKmElvv8 ) thus leading this genre to be coined and recognized as underground hip hop with Dr Dre leading the production of HipHop with gangster rap, producers such as Pete Rock where rarely noticed unless exclusive of hardcore fans who followed the movement. Although the mainstream break through wasn't as strong, artist such as Gorillaz were the crossover into the market catering for everyone who had an ear for jazzy guitar notes and violin samples that were derived from rock songs which majority where alternative rock songs
Creativity has no age!!!
While most teenage girls are talking about boys, make-up, latest trends and how to do the maths assignment due on Monday, this one particular teen isn’t.
Meet Isabella Rose Taylor
Designer of a Junior clothing line, painter, poet and writer at the age of 13. She has the utmost love for art, fashion and everything inbetween. She has materialized her 2 loves and made clothes and artwork. Her clothing lines target market are teenage girls like herself.Her work has been showcased at various exhibitions, runways and fashion week, her line is a little “gruny, hippie like, boho, gypsy and has a feminine touch”
My thoughts on Midnight in Paris
Brilliant movie really enjoyed the whole concept of Gil Pender, nostalgic writer who is on a quest of finding inspiration in Paris.
He would mysteriously travel back into time, to explore and meet with his inspiration masters, who have influenced his work from early days. He travels back into the 1920s, an era in which he is taken aback by; he meets up with the likes of Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, Pablo Picasso and other renowned artists. I presume it would be a magical feeling to meet with the giants we all look up to and have them influence us on a far more personal note. I’m just about very certain that if I met BeyoncĂ©, I’d want it to be here and now and not a different lifetime. I want bragging rights of such an auspicious occasion amongst my peers. Profound apologies for deviating, yes Midnight in Paris!
The movie highlights the greatness inspiration masters possess and how influence and inspiration can come alive in the most unexpected and hideous ways.
Inspiration isn’t timed or planned, it is mysterious.
The movie is a must see, enjoy!

Inspiration Masters
Being inspired or influenced...
John Lennon and Yoko Ono
As controversial and toxic their relationship is, I somewhat see beauty in it. The idea of withstanding obstacles in a relationship takes a lot. The acceptance of loving someone for who they truly are.
Fat Amy
Amy has issues has issues with her weight, she’s really overweight. (im struggling with my weight gain) instead of dwelling upon her weight and habouring negative emotions, she somewhat looks past it. Something Im trying to pull myself towards.
Daily Devotions
daily scriptures from the Bible.
Why: scriptures influence a person spiritually, prayer and indulging in the word of the Lord is very vital for the soul and for ones faith. this helps restore my faith in the Lord and influences my well-being.
an extract from a place a person or thing... something that sparks or provokes a thought,
emotion or idea.
"stealing" something and applying it to yourself!!!
My inspiration masters...
BEYONCE
Renowned female performer, feminist and the best thing since sliced bread!
NOVA HERSELF

social sensitivity..

What is creativity
What is….CREATIVITY…??
The definition is rather subjective;
Creativity is what you make of it.
It is when the mind/brain uses its full potential to create. It isn’t obstructed or is meant to conform or adhere to any laws.
Creativity is fun and playful and has no thought to it. It is limitless and is boundary free
