Throughout the course of any reflective visual journal people go through processes of playing, experimenting and processes of reflection and analysis. This comes unconsciously from the way our brains work, with the left and right hand side working differently yet working alongside each other to create. The right hand side of the brain can be described as the ‘child’ creating motions of creativity, experimentation and play allowing us to create different thought and ideas. The left hand side of the brain is more analytical, creating brain waves of speculation and allowing us to evaluate and interrogate pieces.
With these two processes combined we are able to focus of designers works and evaluate things/designs we may have done unconsciously, allowing us to explore and find possible structure to work. This thinking also merges into the cyclic design process with the idea that we may sketch something down (using the right hand side brain), then evaluate it and improve it (with the left hand side of the brain) rekindling the cycle of development.
I have seen that there are some apparent online ways, in which so call can ‘test your right brain and left brain to determine whether you have a creative brain or not’. But I feel that there is no way of determining whether you are creative or not everyone expresses creativity in their own ways, whether it be drawing, writing, singing, creating lyrics or through clothing etc.
