Danach wird der Begriff Kreativität in einen kulturgeschichtlichen Kontext diskutiert. Mir persönlich gefielen besonders die Ansichten aus dem asiatischen Raum.</p>
<p>Der zweite Teil des Buches widmet sich der kreativen Persönlichkeit. Welche kreative Hoch- und Tiefphasen begleiten einen Menschen auf seinem Lebensweg. Was sind die positiven Entwicklungs- und Umgebungsbedingungen im Kindesalter, in der Pubertät, und während des erwachsen werdens, usw. Holm-Hadulla erklärt diese Bedingungen immer sehr schön anhand von praktischen Beispielen (siehe <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goethe" target="_blank">Goethe</a>, <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Clinton" target="_blank">Bill Clinton</a>, <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Gates" target="_blank">Bill Gates</a> usw.).</p>
<p>Im dritten Kapitel wird Kreativität in den verschiedenen Domänen <em><strong>Politik, Wirtschaftsleben, Wissenschaften und Kunst</strong></em> näher betrachtet. In diesem Kapitel bekommt man einen sehr schönen Überblick, und es frischt auch die Allgemeinbildung ein wenig auf. Die letzten 40 Seiten widmen sich dem Coaching von kreativen Personen und Prozessen. Welche Konzepte existieren und was man als Kreativer selbst beachten sollte gehören zu den besprochenen Themen.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Mein Fazit:</strong></span></p>
<p>Das Buch lohnt sich auf jeden Fall für wirklich Jeden. Mir persönlich hat es die Kreativindustrie mit anderen Augen sehen lassen. Vor allem dass das "kreatives Schaffen" ein Segen aber auch ein Fluch sein kann. Segen wenn man seine Balance und Anerkennung gefunden hat. Ein Fluch wenn man unter Zwang kreativ sein muss. Besonders die daraus relativ schnell entstehenden Folgen (siehe Burn Out Syndrom) haben mich doch sehr überrascht. Hervorzuheben ist auch die <strong>nicht populäre</strong> Herangehensweise (siehe Literaturverzeichnis) von Holm-Hadulla. Er gibt zwar Tipps und Empfehlungen, aber unterstreicht immer wieder dass diese sehr von der eigenen Persönlichkeit abhängen. Für manche Menschen sind die erwähnten schlechten Bedingungen genau die nötige Konfrontation gewesen um etwas sehr Gutes zu erschaffen. Die 160 Seiten sind nicht immer leicht zu lesen. Die Erläuterungen des kreativen Schaffens anhand von Goethe's Gedichten können den ein oder anderen Leser nerven. Auch wiederholt Holm-Hadulla einige Fallbeispiele (z.B. den Konfliktlösungsansatz von Bill Clinton) mehrfach, was mich hin und wieder beim Lesen störte. Am Ende ist mir dennoch das Buch sehr positiv im Gedächtnis geblieben. Für mich ist und war es ein Must-Read Buch.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the last months I worked with people from abroad or with big physical distances. The first time I thought, yeah that is not a problem. Everybody has got an internet connection and that is all what we need. In my old company the <a href="http://www.liip.ch/" target="_blank">Liip AG</a> - who I worked for - their whole project management and file management systems were almost accessible over an internet connection. For this reason I could work from everywhere I want. I thought, that would not change in my future time, because the internet has solutions for everything. Yeah, I have to say that is true. But it was not easy to find the right tools and services for exchanging ideas, files, time schedules and other stuff for free. My projects are not so big that it makes sense to implement this infrastructures by my own. I found some free or at least some cheap services which you can use for working together with friends or other small projects.</p>
<h3>Idea Development and Sharing</h3>
<p>Creating and developing ideas with people, who are not physical available, is not very easy. Maintaining and extending are also two not very minor problems. In the last time I found a very good workflow for me and my friends. We do a telephone conference via <strong><a href="http://www.skype.com" target="_blank">skype</a></strong> and in the same time we use the service <strong><a href="http://www.mindmeister.com/" target="_blank">Mindmeister (Online Mindmapping Tool)</a></strong> and the tool <strong><a href="http://www.balsamiq.com/" target="_blank">Balsamiq MockUp</a></strong>. At the moment our solution works good and it is totally free with some limitations. A more professional solution for idea development and exchange may be the Service <strong><a href="http://www.protoshare.com/" target="_blank">ProtoShare</a></strong>. Unfortunately, there is no real free pricing model available, therefore I never tested this service. <span id="more-1259"></span></p>
<h3>Planning and Schedules Services</h3>
<p>Sometimes you and your project members have to make choices or just finding the best time for an appointment. The services <strong><a href="http://www.doodle.com/" target="_blank">Doodle</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://whenisgood.net/" target="_blank">WhenIsGood</a></strong> solve this problem very easily. I like the service <strong><a href="http://www.doodle.com/" target="_blank">doodle</a></strong> very much, because you can use it without any registration and you can make different kind of choices (timebased or any other).</p>
<h3>Project Management Services</h3>
<p>To arrange meetings is not everything. In most and even in small projects you have a rough imagination of a time schedule. This time schedule should be accessible for every project member in technical and visual form. Additional to this time schedule every project has got some documentation papers and project member information. All this information should be managed by a project management tool. A couple of project managment services are available on the internet. I am using <strong><a href="http://www.huddle.net/" target="_blank">huddle</a></strong> at the moment and I am quite satisfied with it. It has one free pricing model and the features are good enough for small projects. The project management services <strong><a href="http://basecamphq.com/">Basecamp</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://www.activecollab.com" target="_blank">activeCollab</a></strong> are looking more professional and delivers some useful extensions (e.g. a Mobile Client Software). Unfortunately, there is no free pricing model available, only a fix testing period.</p>
<h3>Coding and design file Hosting</h3>
<p>In my case, we did many visual coding projects. For this reason we are using Version Management for Coding and even a <strong><a href="http://pixelnovel.com/timeline" target="_blank">Version Managment for Adobe Photoshop</a></strong> files. <a href="http://www.photonstorm.com/" target="_blank">Richard Davey</a> wrote a <a href="http://www.photonstorm.com/archives/710/svn-for-photoshop-with-pixelnovel" target="_blank">small blog post</a> about it. I think the very well known free services are <strong><a href="http://code.google.com/intl/de-DE/projecthosting/" target="_blank">Google Code</a></strong>, <strong><a href="http://github.com/" target="_blank">GitHub</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">SourceForge.net</a></strong>. Using the SVN service <strong><a href="http://beanstalkapp.com/" target="_blank">Beanstalk</a></strong> in relation with the <strong><a href="http://pixelnovel.com/" target="_blank">PixelNovel</a></strong> (Adobe Photoshop Version Management service) is a very powerful and simple tool, I guess...</p>
<h3>(Short) temporal data storage</h3>
<p>Sometimes you have to exchange some data files. That could be a file transfer from your university computer to your home computer or sending huge files to other friends (or project members). For private purposes, the service <strong><a href="http://www.dropbox.com/" target="_blank">Dropbox</a></strong> seems to be nice. For data, which should be only available for a short time and the data is not top secret for other people, I recommend to use the common upload file services (thx <a href="http://twitter.com/hugocamargo" target="_blank">Hugo</a> and <a href="http://aczacz.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Anca</a> for the links):</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://blog.derhess.de/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/transmediale.gif" rel="lightbox[1224]"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1225" title="transmediale" src="http://blog.derhess.de/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/transmediale.gif" alt="Transmedial Medienfestival Berlin 2010" width="622" height="114" /></a></p>
<p>Vom 2. bis zum 7. Februar fand das Medienfestival <strong><a href="http://www.transmediale.de/" target="_blank">Transmediale</a></strong> in Berlin statt.  Das Festival stand ganz unter dem Motto "<strong><a href="http://www.transmediale.de/en/festival/futurity_now" target="_blank">Futurity Now</a></strong>", sprich was ist und wie gestalten wir unsere Zukunft. Gemäß aller Vorträge und Diskussionsrunden soll dabei das Internet und die <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kreative_Klasse" target="_blank">kreative Klasse</a> die wichtigsten Rollen für unsere Zukunft übernehmen. Vom meinem subjektiven Gefühl her stammten die meisten Besucher auch aus dieser sogenannten kreativen Klasse. An sich eine gute Sache, nur wandelte sich genau dieses Publikum in einigen Diskussionsrunden zu einer wahren Selbstbeweihräucherung, wie toll und kreativ und innovativ man doch sei. Besonders negativ ist mir die Diskussion am Ende  zum Thema  <a href="http://www.transmediale.de/en/creativity-economic-resource" target="_blank">Creativity as an Economic Resource</a> aufgefallen. Nun gut davon wollte ich mich mir freilich nicht die Stimmung vermiesen lassen und besuchte die <strong><a href="http://www.transmediale.de/en/festival/exhibition" target="_blank">Transmediale Ausstellung</a></strong>. Viele Kunstwerke gab es zwar nicht zu sehen, aber das war für mich schon O.K., denn das <a href="http://www.transmediale.de/en/node/11333" target="_blank">A Parallel Image</a>, die <a href="http://www.transmediale.de/en/paparazzi-bots" target="_blank">Paparazzi Bots</a> und der <a href="http://www.transmediale.de/en/artvertiser" target="_blank">Artvertiser</a> haben mich ziemlich überzeugt und waren sicherlich auch einer der Highlights der Austellung.</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.derhess.de/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/transmediale_art.jpg" rel="lightbox[1224]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1227" title="Transmediale Artworks" src="http://blog.derhess.de/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/transmediale_art.jpg" alt="" width="561" height="95" /></a><span id="more-1224"></span></p>
<p>Die restlichen Tage habe ich eigentlich dann nur noch verbracht irgendwelche Vorträge anzuhören. Leider waren diese vom Niveau her sehr unterschiedlich. Teilweise sehr gut und unterhaltsam (siehe <a href="http://www.transmediale.de/en/keynote-bruce-sterling-us-atemporality" target="_blank">Bruce Sterling</a> und <a href="http://www.transmediale.de/en/node/11829" target="_blank">Richard Barbrook</a>), aber es gab auch Vorträge, wo einfach nur ein Text vorgelesen wurde. Im nach hinein habe ich erfahren, dass sowas normal sei bei philosophischen Vorträgen. Nun gut, nur zu dumm wenn die Stimme sehr monoton wird und immer schneller... Naja bei diesen Vorträgen war meine Aufmerksamkeit nach mind. 10min total hinüber. So ging es mir ziemlich häufig bei den Vorträgen. Ich hatte es bisher noch nie, das sich die Themen so gut anhören, aber die Vorträge so träge und langweilig sind. Also an dieser Stelle weiß ich wirklich nicht was sich die Veranstalter gedacht haben. Man sollte sich schon überlegen wen mann vorne ans Mikro stellt... Hin und wieder gab es auch ein paar <strong><a href="http://www.transmediale.de/en/festival/filmvideo">Filmscreenings</a></strong>, wo es das ein oder andere <a title="Secret Machine" href="http://www.transmediale.de/en/secret-machine">gute Videokunstwerk </a>zusehen gab. Leider wurden auch manche Filme einfach ohne weitere Vorstellung und Nachbesprechung gezeigt, wie z.B. das Video über einen Kriegseinsatz mit sehr schlechten Ton und spanischen Untertiteln und am Ende hieß es: "Ja das Video haben wie gefunden und fanden es interessant, deswegen haben wir es heute hier gezeigt"  Das wirkte dann manchmal wie ne lieblose Zusammenstellung und ehrlich keine Ahnung was sich dabei der Kurator gedacht hat...</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Fazit:</strong></span> Eins, zwei Tage nach der Transmediale hat sich dann meine Meinung zum Festival ein wenig gesetzt. Leider muss ich sagen, dass mir von den Vorträgen nicht mehr viel im Gedächtnis war, eigentlich habe ich fast keinen einzigen Punkt für mich mitnehmen können. Aus dieser Sicht war die Transmediale eine fast große Enttäuschung für mich, da doch die Infrastruktur und der Veranstaltungsort schon ziemlich super war. Auch das Thema und die Überschriften der Programmpläne war viel versprechend. Aus meiner persönlichen Sicht wurde das Meiste nur sehr oberflächlich angerissen... Vielleicht lag es auch an den überwiegend <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fashion_Victim" target="_blank">fashion-victim</a> orientierten Besuchern, die einfach n bissl was von dem Künstler Flair abhaben möchten. Ganz nach dem Prinzip: Ich kauf mir n Mac also hab ich Geschmack. Ich geh auf ein Medienfestival, also bin ich kreativ and cool!</p>
<p>So wie es aussieht bin ich auch nicht ganz alleine mit meinem enttäuschten Bild über das Festival, siehe <a href="http://www.dradio.de/dkultur/sendungen/fazit/1118148/" target="_blank">dradio.de Fazit</a>.</p>
<p>Sehr schade alles, aber zum Glück gabs auch noch Parallelveranstaltung zur Transmediale, wie z.B. vom <strong><a href="http://www.betahaus.de/" target="_blank">betahaus</a></strong> und deren Workshop und Vortragsreihe zum Thema <strong><a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/event.php?eid=413357915719" target="_blank">How are Social Media changing Design?</a></strong> Danke an dieser Stelle noch an <a href="http://www.betahaus.de/team/" target="_blank">Daniela</a> für die Führung durchs betahaus und fürs Bier <img src='http://blog.derhess.de/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Am Ende gibt kann ich nur den Rat geben: Wer knapp bei Kasse ist und einen Austausch in Sachen Medienkunst möchte, dem sei das Ars Electronica Festival in Linz empfohlen (auch wenn das Hinkommen nicht so leicht ist).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The last blog post <a href="http://blog.derhess.de/2009/11/03/flash-indie-developer-part-2-requirements-and-idealism/" target="_blank">Flash Indie Developer Part 2</a> dealt with idealism and requirements. In this blog post we will discuss the most dangerous risks for your daily life.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_628" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a rel="lightbox[indev]" href="http://blog.derhess.de/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/indieFlashDeveloper_risks_english.gif"><img class="size-medium wp-image-628" title="Risks-Mind Map (Flash) Interaction Developer" src="http://blog.derhess.de/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/indieFlashDeveloper_risks_english-300x123.gif" alt="Gefahren-Mind Map (Flash) Interaction Developer" width="300" height="123" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Risks-Mind Map (Flash) Interaction Developer</p></div>A smaller or a bigger problem could be <strong>diseases</strong>. If you get sick you might not be able to work for short or longer periode. You have to pay some bills for the treatment and your income will normally decrease. You can reduce this risk with a health insurance. In Europe it is quite normal or it is even obligatory to have a health insurance. I think health insurances are the most important insurance you should have! For other important insurance please check some web-portals about "<a href="http://www.howtostartup.com/" target="_blank">how I should start my own company</a>" or something <a href="http://www.startupnation.com/" target="_blank">similiar</a>.</p>
<p><span id="more-1124"></span></p>
<pre><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>OFF TOPIC</strong></span>: <em>Everytime take care if the goverment would support your <a href="http://www.untoldentertainment.com/blog/2009/10/09/running-a-game-studio-from-start-up-to-sustainability/" target="_blank">new business</a>!!!</em></pre>
<p>Furthermore,  a <strong>creative trough</strong> can become also a serious problem. You as an (Flash) Independent Developer have normally a great creativity and this is one of your strong USPs compared to a normal Flash Developer employee. But what should you do if you run in a creative trough?!</p>
<ol>
<li>Keep cool! It is normal to have lack of creativity for a moment</li>
<li>Relax! Do other things which don't have a strong connection to your work</li>
<li>Try and use some creative methods (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainstorming" target="_blank">Brainstorming</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Role_playing" target="_blank">Roleplaying</a> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Thinking_Hats" target="_blank">Six Thinking Hats</a>)</li>
<li>If you are still in a creative trough -&gt; Keep cool!</li>
<li>Find other opportunities which generates a new income, for instance: doing lectures!</li>
<li>During the process of preparing a new income possibility, talk with many people.</li>
<li>I am sure your creativity will come back after a while!</li>
</ol>
<p>For me it is totally normal to have high creative periods and very low creative periods It helps me a lot to write down all my ideas in a book, and everytime I have a creative trough I can look in my book of ideas and get some new inspiration. That is the reason, why I highly recommend to manage your ideas. In this way you will be able to use perfectly your high and low creative periods.</p>
<p>The last and in my opinion a very often underestimated issue is the  <strong>topic of inefficient working</strong>. Nobody or no person put a real pressure on you, and because of this situation we can easily appropriate  inefficient working routines. Especially, for doing a research in a special topic, we can easily lost in the huge space of the web. Another point is the managing your daily life. For instance, you have to go shopping (buy some food or something else), after this you do a sleep, because shopping was so exhausting <img src='http://blog.derhess.de/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> . After the sleep you are little bit tired and you decided to watch a movie or a episode of nice TV-serie. Finally, after all these nice chill activities you realize, that almost nothing is done and the day is also almost gone... That is one example, the <a href="http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/visualizations/the-hierarchy-of-digital-distractions/">pyramide of digital distraction</a> describes very clearly one of our other biggest risk of inefficient working. I don't say that you should not use social communities or chat systems (skype, twitter), but please define a outline for you! For instance, you spend the first hour of the morning for reading blogs and answering / writing e-mails. Then you started programming or working on complicated tasks. After that you will go to lunch. After lunch you start checking your e-mails for 30-60 minutes ones more and after that you go ahead with your complicated or less complicated tasks... <a href="http://blog.princeporter.com/" target="_blank">Porter</a> wrote a nice blog post about <a href="http://blog.princeporter.com/being-your-own-boss/" target="_blank">being your own boss</a> and the problems with the <a href="http://blog.princeporter.com/motivation-boost/650/" target="_blank">motivation</a>. Please feel free to read it!</p>
<p>Thanks and congratulation, who stayed until this end of the blog post. The next blog posts discuss the really interesting topics of an (Flash) Independent Developer life. Therfore, the next article will discuss our product portfolio and what is possible with each product. The blog articles after this article describes the topic  "how you can use these products for generating  your income" in a more detail. So stay tuned!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After the<a title="Check your skills and talents" href="http://blog.derhess.de/2009/10/13/flash-indie-developer-part-1-check-your-talents-and-skills/"> first blog post </a>of the blog (Flash) Independent Developer was a little bigger, this article will be smaller and I will discuss the requirements for an (Flash) Independent Developer. These requirements are not very Flash oriented, they deal more with the idealism attitude of the new way and what do you have to consider in the beginning phase.</p>
<p>When you decide to work as an Independent Developer, you will risk a lot. And this high <strong>degree of risk</strong> is, of course, strongly connected with a <strong>high degree of  uncertainness</strong> in your working life. You should be able to handle this risky life, otherwise you should not choose the way as an (Flash) Independent Developer.</p>
<div id="attachment_612" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a rel="lightbox[indev]" href="http://blog.derhess.de/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/indieFlashDeveloper_requirements_english.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-612" title="Mindmap - Anforderungen (Flash) Independent Developer" src="http://blog.derhess.de/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/indieFlashDeveloper_requirements_english-300x94.png" alt="Mindmap - Requirements (Flash) Independent Developer" width="300" height="94" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Mindmap - Requirements (Flash) Independent Developer</p></div>
<p>Another very strong point , if you can become an (Flash) Independent Developer is, which <strong>degree of responsibility</strong> do you have?! <span id="more-1114"></span> Do you have a family?! Do you have a loan?! Which kind of obligation do you have towards other people?! All these responsibilities could be some obstacles, but it is dealable. All the things you have to do, prepare you for this independent life and consider that your income and your spare time will be very very low in the next one or two years. So you should spare some money for this time and prepare your friends and family for this way. So that at the end of your preparation time all people in your familiar surroundings know what is going on in your life and expection not to much from you in your business start time.</p>
<p>Last point and in my mind the most strongest point is the <strong>degree of idealism</strong>. Do you really want to do it? Yeah, it sounds very cool to be an Independent Developer, but it is a hard life (and of course one of the interesting life forms in our digital age). You must have a very high degree of idealism and love the things you do, so that you survive the pressure of learning new things all the time and work a lot. Maybe your usual standard of living will decrease, a car can become a luxury good or other consum goods like a big Flat-Screen can as well as become a luxury good. I think the lifestyle of an (Flash) Independent Developer has lot of similarties with the german movement of <a href="http://riinav.blogspot.com/2007/05/are-digital-bohemians-bohemians-among.html" target="_blank">digitial</a> <a href="http://www.zylstra.org/blog/archives/2007/05/blogwalk_digita.html" target="_blank">bohemianism</a> (<a title="We call it work!" href="http://wirnennenesarbeit.de/" target="_blank">German Homepage</a>).</p>
<p>I think or I hope the opening stages is the hardest time and when you pass this period, your life should become more stable. In general, I think you should have a few years (working) experiences before you start such a big project. If you are studying at the moment, try to get some experience and prepare your for this way. The years of study are very good, because you have an amount of spare time, you meet a lot of people (for doing networking) and you are familiar with a low standard of living. In this period of life it is easier for you to make sacrifices. <img src='http://blog.derhess.de/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>The next blog post will deal with the <a href="http://blog.derhess.de/2009/11/17/flash-indie-developer-part-3-short-list-of-risks/" target="_blank">risks of an (Flash) Indepentend Developer</a> life. We will discuss which risks exist and how we can manage these risks <img src='http://blog.derhess.de/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
