Creative Programming

Programming with Delphi 

For my assignment for Intro to Creative Development, i decided to develop a educational app. The app was developed in Delphi. The app allowed the user to learn about Economic graphs and what will happen to those graphs if a certain situation was to occur. The app will explain to the user what will happen as well as illustrating the graph that is relevant.

The app looked like this 

This is  the best creative medium as it can expand so easily as there is no limitations, you can freely do what you want and for some one who loves to create this is the dream!

I then extended the apps capabilities by adding questions that relate to the first part of the app.

Tip 

For anyone having trouble loading a picture on to delphi or don't know how, I hope this helps.

This for me was bit of challenge and for my project was a big part of my program so i needed to perfected it

Before you do anything you must convert the picture that you have to bmp file. You need to do this otherwise it will not work
I used this online converter to do it

Then ensure that you have placed the image icon on your form


Then add add button


Then add this code to the button

image.picture.loadfromfile('the picture's location'); 

This is an example of mine
( ensure that the location is 100% correct)

  Image1.Picture.loadfromfile('c:\delphi7\images\movementalongdemand.bmp');

What the future may look like

This video is amazing, it shows a concept of what our day to day lives will be like in 2020 ,it shows different concepts of technology improvements. It also shows how technology will be implemented in your home . If you wanna see what your day could be like check it out!

How Google looks at Creativity

'Good ideas sell products. Great ideas change lives. From opening up our brand to opening up museums, we see creativity as a way to solve problems - large and small'. Lorraine Twohill, Google VP of Global Marketing 

Google believes that creativity is tool ,a tool that helps them solve a problem,and Curiosity goes hand in hand with creativity. They try  and do this by  ensuring that the employees are energetic and full of diversity as Google is a brand which needs to keep a certain image and they do this by applying creativity not only in their software creation but also how they market the brand. This just show us creativity isn't just making something looks pretty, but it is applying the tools and skills you have to do something different and helps solves issues. Throughout my course in Intro to Creative Development, at Vega collage , I have learnt certain skills such as the six thinking hats to to help generate ideas and in some regard to solve a problem so it is interesting to see even big company's such as Google applying creativity to solve their problems 

The Six thinking hats 

What makes Apple such a Success ?

Yes we all know apple, the company that set innovation for technology it was the first company that really asked why? They asked why be the same as every other tech company , they not only did they  make their products look differently but they did everything else differently. Instead of accepting how things must be done in the world of tech they broke the barriers. Apples beauty and properly why, in my opinion, they are so innovative is simply their ability to say no.

Throughout the years many people have  questioned their decisions for example on apple's iPhone browser's they refused for the device to have Flash and a lot  of people were upset about this matter as a lot of websites needed flash inorder to use it  but apple refused and said that it would make the device slow and they were right , most devices which used it were very slow and horrible to use, obviously things have changed now but it was prefect example of apple refusing to conform to the norm and it is such a risky thing to do especially for a tech company that has a lot of competitors.
Apple used a new and creative way to be different , which in this case was just saying no to something that everyone else was doing

What is Creativity?

Over the duration of my time at Vega, you constantly have to 'think creativitly' but what does that mean? ... . Being creative is taking in all the elements around you , what you love , your passions ,what you see around and of course other people creations that interest you . Even though I heard this time and time again i never really fully believed it but as I started to notice more things in my day to day life as well at  looking at other peoples inspirations I started to see how people formed ideas and all of sudden more and more things started to inspire me . This knew ability showed me how to really Steal like an Artist. This made me explore my creativity muscle by taking things i know and combining them with other elements of other things that I am captivated by . I love technology and I have always been fascinated with it and I believe it is one of the many tools that help start and expand creativity, technology has no boundaries the possibilities are endless and as someone who wants to create that is the dream.

Moving Up
This a building idea for New York structure that uses new types of infrastructure materials that allow the building to be very small, in terms of width, but it still can remain very tall , this one of my inspirations as it takes two different elements and makes something that is unique and serves a function





Apple is know for being innovative and to me very creative. They take something like technology and combined it with beauty .They turn something like a laptop ,which is boring to some ,and make it something to look at , it is not only to sell the product but a form of being creative and different




Apple's way of showing more is less
