Several days ago I started with the book "60 innovators shaping our creative future" which as a result caused very contraversary impressions and inspired me on some ideas connected with my work. Two main blocks of the book which attracted my attention were Web-design and, for sure, Photography. But in this post I'm going to talk mainly about Web-design. Besides Photography I'm also interested in Web-design because currently this is the main field of my occupation, as I work as a web designer in our university. Although I always stand for creative ideas and new approaches in all fields somehow connected with art, I also consider that web is for everyone that is why to make it to difficult. Too much of a good thing is good for nothing. The same thing with creativity. Your idea can be crazy, innovative, but what is the purpose of its existance if it is not understandable for others? Maybe exactly because of this among all innovators listed in Web-design block I recognized only and was impressed only by Jonathan Harris. This does not mean that I do not understand the ideas and the core of innovation of other artists, but I suppose that I get the main point of these new creative ideas only because I work in this field. At the end of the day what's the purpose of creating web designs which can be understood only by web designers? It is the same as baking bread only for bakers.
In case of Jonathan Harris his ideas are so simple, but so amazing and interesting, so they can be shared with people who do not even know the explanation of the word "Web-design", they just see the soul of his creations. I can also explain my admiration for this artist by his idea of conjuction of web design and photography. One of my favorite projects created by him is "Today" which he conducted due to his 30 birthday. Every day he took the picture and posted in to web and this was the result: Today.

Your study task is to figure out for yourself and tell others what exactly was innovative in the approach of those 5 selected photographers or web-designers, as we are focused now on the notion and criteria on creativity and innovation. The entire in the book are often too short, so you should try to gather more information about these innovators from other sources.
