Gideon Utip Ekong 12 is. He arrived the Imaginit School Of Creativity (iSOC) like most under 30 creatives do (blank sheet) but full of ideas and intrinsically motivated taking his tutors on a discovery tour, breaking limits of thought, creativity and design. Creative Thinking, Fundamentals of Design, Graphic & Design Tools, Photography & Design, Brand Development, Video Editing, New Media, Motion Graphics, App Development & The Business of Creativity he was a willing learner. Rather than simply collect information in class, his brain played with it. He took all the time he needed to ask a question, however when he did get to ask it would keep his tutors in an upward think mode. In less than 20 Hours he made a precise copy of a top brand logo from shapes.
At his graduation he had this to say, "I am grateful to my mom who gave me this opportunity she never lets me feel that I have learned sufficiently there is something new to learn, I barely could fathom my ever being able to contribute to a creative design space because I can't handle a pencil on paper but I knew I had all the ideas and couldn't match them with reality but with my new found abilities I realise that I can excel not only in my computer class, as I am able to do what I see our final year students try to achieve with a lot of struggle. I am above all, able to bring my ideas into tangible designs that create real life solutions for my community and continent. I do not think in terms of 'what's the problem' I am equipped to see "what are the options and how do I create a solution from the problem." I wish creative thinking would become a compulsory subject in my school.
If there's one thing that distinguishes highly creative people from others, it's the ability to see possibilities where others don't -- or, in other words, vision. I have seen how creative encounters build vital cognitive skills -- an area that has been the subject of redundancy in African education. Opportunities for this sort of activity are being increasingly restricted, not simply by money, but by lack of changes to the educational curriculum that encourages African schools to prioritise away from the creative subjects. We are seeking to bridge this gap from education to corporate and commercial branding.
