WeTransfer wanted to spark a new kind of conversation around creativity. With 75% of their 42 million monthly users identifying as creatives, WeTransfer is uniquely positioned to understand both the creative process and the value of great ideas.We created The Ideas Report, an international survey into creativity, featuring unexpected experts in creativity. To present the findings in an entirely original way, we created a set of ambitious all-human infographics without any digital effects.

The Results

The report focused on the source of creativity, and built on responses from over 10,000 creatives in 143 countries. To help creatives better understand how creativity and the brain works, we consulted experts, including Maryanne Wolf (Tufts University cognitive scientist), Pam Mueller (RAND researcher and Princeton-trained social psychologist), Lu Chen (Stanford University neuroscientist) and Dr Catherine Loveday (cognitive neuroscience lecturer at the University of Westminster).

There’s lots of talk about ideas and inspiration but it seems like the conversation is often very one-way. By asking more than 10,000 WeTransfer users about their experiences, we’ve painted an interesting portrait of how ideas work in 2018.
