I’ve been reading a great book by Daniel Pink called A Whole New Mind.  In this book, Pink argues that right-brainers or the creative types will be much more important and powerful in the near future.  He says we are now moving away from the Information Age to the Conceptual Age.  It’s best-selling books like these that make enrolling in a design school like IADT in Vegas a possible good move.

Creativity especially design is really becoming a huge deal.  I work online and I find that the website designers are making a pretty good hourly rate.  Design is a excellent way to capture attention and stand out from the crowd. 

My sister is starting a business selling dresses.  I think she’ll be able to sell dresses that cost less than $75 to make for over $350.  She has fashion design skill that allows her to sell her creations at high prices. 

With the popularity of video games, it’s important to have good game design.  I wasn’t too surprised that IADT had a game design bachelor’s degree.

Here’s what is great about creativity and design.  I think we can become more creative.  And that creativity is not primarily an inborn trait.  In a future post, I’ll take about ways to improve your creativity and design skills.
