A practical guide to getting digitally creative and using digital tools and technologies to explore work, ideas, and research.

Digital Creativity: a Practical Guide

In this guide we'll explore the world of digital creativity. What is digital creativity? What kinds of approaches, technologies, and tools might it entail? And how can you get digitally creative?

What is digital creativity?

Digital creativity is about using digital tools and technologies to explore creative ideas, apply different approaches, and find new ways of displaying your work and research.

This could be taking a photo, recording a video or doing something fancy in a presentation. It might mean using digital tools to develop or explore non-digital material or outputs. Or you might decide you want to develop your skills in coding, data visualisation, gaming, or virtual reality.

Artwork is a binary representation of the word CREATIVITY.

Our guidance on being digitally creative:

The Digital Labs in the library provide access to support, learning and equipment for all the stages of digital creativity.

For the creation of physical items,YorCreate has a great selection of 3D printers, digital cutters and much more for creating artefacts as part of your project.

The Creativity Lab can help you to explore many kinds of digital Creative media, and provides access to digital creativity software (like Adobe Creative Cloud), equipment you can borrow and a podcast studio. There's also a wide range of workshops in many of the technologies mentioned on this practical guide.
