Creativity is an essential quality for students of the twenty-first century. Currently, there is a substantial scientific, innovative leap in the world; people are increasingly choosing the path of an innovator and inventor. In the age of high technology, for students studying in the direction of Design, it is necessary to think creatively to be in demand in the professional field.
