Creativity and New Media


I play video games a lot so in my free time I created an emblem that would be displayed every time I play a game. I was able to use many tools available in Call of Duty. The game lets me use hundred of different building blocks and with some help from YouTube, I was able to create this emblem. Through the PS4 Share feature, I was able to screenshot the emblem on my console and email it to myself. I found it extremely interesting how new media gives us tools that can easily show how creative we truly are.

    Hi Elvin,
    This emblem looks amazing and very creative! I had no idea that you were able to go into so much depth and have tools to show your creativity on your PS4.

An interesting idea of new media is to create a social network specifically for gamers. The new media platform would have chats for gamers to connect, pages to post pictures or videos of their game content, and a comment and like section to respond to each post. There can even be a facetime-like feature on the social network so gamers can connect and play games together. One interesting feature that the social network can include are stories such as the ones on Snapchat and Instagram. This will create a new media for gamers that contains a good mix of features from Snapchat, Instagram and Facebook. The gaming industry is growing more and more every year, especially professionally gaming. Gamers communicate a lot through their headset, but it would be great if there can be a platform to connect gamers when they are not actually playing video games. Gaming is an expansive industry in need of a new media to make communication easier and better.

New media fosters creativity by enabling people the accessibility to share and generate thoughts cheaper and easier. For example, a photographer previously would need to take a photo and display it in a gallery and must pay money to the gallery as well. Now, photographers can share the image on Instagram and millions of people can view the photo in a matter of seconds. Twitter allows people to easily have access to other thoughts. People can view others tweets and respond in their own creative way or lead people to have their own creative thoughts. “The Internet lets people exchange ideas easily and rapidly with large groups, and computing tools let people design new products cheaply.” Companies can even be more creative now through tracking social media activity and monitoring their feedback or responses. New media is making creativity more readily available for everyone. Twitter Serves Up Ideas From Its Followers by CLAIRE CAIN MILLER, the New York Times, October 26, 2009. Avai...
