Creativity and New Media

With the development of New Media, it acts a vent for creativity. For example I used a game I used to play called MapleStory. For some this may be a throwback, however from what I can see they are still thriving and developing new creative ways to improve the game. Below are some pictures of the game itself and a character that I had created.

In the picture above, it shows the options of choosing genders, hair color, style, outfits and etc. in this virtual world, Although the characters are more cartoon like then those of second life it still inspires communication and creativity in this world.

In the picture above, it shows one of my characters in the virtual world. As you can see you can dress up your avatar, have different jobs, do different things such as buying and selling goods, leveling up, and etc.

In this last picture, it shows that  every avatar is different based on how the user wants to dress them up, virtual avatars communicate and engage in transactions, sharing ideas about the real world and the virtual world.
