Novelty, Creativity, Innovation and Invention

Novelty
Wikipedia define that the quality of being new, although it may be said to have an objective dimension (such as abstract art or impression) it essentially exist in the subjective perception of individual.

In my opinion, novelty means something new or unusual and it is important for everybody in the world. The study of creativity that is based on the presumption of novelty aims to explain how original works are produced by using the old material and to reveal the universal laws of its generation.


Creativity
It refers to the phenomenon whereby a person creates something new (a product, a solution, a work of art etc.) that has some kind of value. What counts as "new" may be in reference to the individual creator, or to the society or domain within which the novelty occurs. What counts as "valuable" is similarly defined in a variety of ways.

In my words, as I stated in my previous post, creativity is refer to many things such as creative work, creative design, creative drawing and etc. Creative is something that been created by someone, his/her idea that make it looks unique and creative. As an example, someone create a design/logo/typography, using his/her idea, and make it looks nice, that is what make him/her creative.

Innovation
A new discipline of innovation born from the understanding and application of methods from several different areas, such as, design, business and social sciences. In my opinion, changing the existing ideas or knowledge for the purpose of improvement is the meaning of Innovation. Knowledge and attitudes that have direct impact on building innovation competencies are some of the conditions.

Invention
It means "the act of finding out or inventing; contrivance or construction of that which has not before existed; as the invention of logarithms, the invention of the art of printing.

I think invention can be defined as creating new ideas using little knowledge which only created or invent by the inventor. There are still some different between invention and innovation. As conclusion, innovation is the extension of invention or the process of improvement where begin.
