See exactly. I'd call someone like Ford very creative because he was able to produce what he wanted with extreme limitations. I'd actually consider anyone who can make something great within their boundaries very creative. But others may not see it that way. Some people find that if you're able to create something only on a limited scale, you're not very creative. But this was the point of my thread: to find out whether people think limitations, which therefore requires the user to produce something with restrictions, is considered creative or if absolute freedom is creative. So far, I only have your thoughts which is creativity achieved on both accounts. I'm waiting to hear from others.

And no, this isn't for a any research or anything...my sister was having a conversation with someone about this subject, which that person believes that creativity is through the ability to create something wonderful through freedom because you are able to make anything which requires more thought and precision to make your creation stand out above the rest. This led me to think about this topic too which is why I started this.
