Fascinated with the distressed textures of peeling wallpaper and decaying surfaces, it seemed like a natural leap for Bristol-based artist Rose Sanderson when she began painting various insects on the covers of old books. “Painting the bugs on recycled book covers explores the narrative of life, e.g., the cycle of a moth or butterfly, or the fact that beetles feed from decay to create life.”

While burying yourself in the stacks at the library is one way to get some serious research done, with today’s technology you can do quite a bit of useful searching before you ever set foot inside a library. Undergraduates and grad students alike will appreciate the usefulness of these search engines that allow them to find books, journal articles and even primary source material for whatever kind of research they’re working on and that return only serious, academic results so time isn’t wasted on unprofessional resources.

Genius is not about scoring 1600 on the SATs, mastering fourteen languages at the age of seven, finishing Mensa exercises in record time, having an extraordinarily high I.Q., or even about being smart. After considerable debate initiated by J. P. Guilford, a leading psychologist who called for a scientific focus on creativity in the sixties, psychologists reached the conclusion that creativity is not the same as intelligence. An individual can be far more creative than he or she is intelligent, or far more intelligent than creative.

For those of you who are too young to remember... A transistor radio is a small portable radio receiver that uses transistor-based circuitry. Following their development in 1954 they became the most popular electronic communication device in history, with billions manufactured during the 1960s and 1970s. Their pocket size sparked a change in popular music listening habits, allowing people to listen to music anywhere they went. In the 1970s their popularity declined as other portable media players such as boom boxes and portable cassette players took over. The styling, colours and textures are amazing!

Kathy Orschlen director of admissions at Eastern Michigan University: Creativity is expected, but the process of getting there is not respected. The workplace of the present still values seeing staff and students in the act of working: hunched over a computer, in a meeting, drawing on a white board, producing paper reports. But sometimes we get our best ideas while going for a swim, on a duck walk, playing ping pong or even lying on the floor of staring at the ceiling. **How can today's creative thinkers change the culture of our work and school, to make it a place where creativity happens?!
