     Creative play an important role in the field of art and design , where each designer has their own creativity. to succeed in the field of art and design, a designer should have their own creative practice . Creative practice is a process in which something you do on a consistent basis , whether you want to or not . It's not about how you feel, it's about what you do have a way of thinking and attitude following the behavior, not the other way. when we adopt this creative practice , indirectly our creativity as a designer to grow and increase based on what we want to study. Plagiarism is an unhealthy activity , it's a mimicry of other sources, for which an individual taking other people's work and make it as a our work. Plagiarism should not be practiced in everyday life as it has many disadvantages compared to the benefit , and it not assist in career development and in the art field.

    Creative practice is a practice that we do and become our daily routine to produce a higher quality of new ideas. Every time we practice the new creative ideas will sprout and become better. when we already have a career or work, creative practice is very important in making something work or tasks run more smoothly. An idea can come if we record all the new and exciting things we saw with the sketch or take a picture of the thing. Such materials can be a reference for us in the future in order to generate new ideas more efficient and competitive. Besides these ideas can also be polished from time to time to get more quality.

    Creative is not just to make art but as designers we should be open-minded and flexible.  Apart from that we also must trust yourself in any case we do not expect to happen. We should be preparing ourselves to meet future challenges so that we become better prepared. Prepare themselves with various skills so that we do not feel awkward in the face of many obstacles. Besides, in creative practice we should always do the experiment so that we know and feel what is happening already well we can improve our work in the future. Experiments that we can do such a thing to change the design of the other design but still retain the same functionality, for example diversify the design of a chair to become a more attractive design. This is intended to be of interest, especially the children learn how to sit in a proper way and to diversify the functions of the chair.

     In creative practice there are also some rules that we must follow as a guide for us to be more methodical in doing artwork. The first rule is to believe in yourself to experiment. When do an experiment one must dare to take the risk. This is because  when someone is brave enough to take risk, they will see the problem as a challenge for a designer  and not be afraid to start anywhere. Beside, we also have to set the mind that do not be afraid to make mistake because if we are afraid to make a mistake it will block our creativity as a designer. As a designer, we must think outside the box, it will produce a marvelous idea. Lastly is cooperative, learn from other approaches to the limitation.  

   
 Plagiarism is defined as "deliberate or reckless representation of another persons words, thoughts, or ideas on their own without attribution in connection with submission of academic work, whether graded or otherwise."( Instrument Student Judicial Governence, Section II.B.1. )(http://writingcenter.unc.edu/handouts/plagiarism/ ). Take or copy other people's work without permission is wrong. Apart from that we also will not get any benefit from this abuse, but we also not be able to evaluate and interpret the results of our own work. Furthermore our skill will deteriorate because we are too dependent on copying the work of others. Besides, the ideas generated will not grow and will not be developed. Therefore, as a person who wants to move forward we must avoid plagiarism in everyday life because it is not helping us thinking wider.


   In nut of shell, creative practice is extremely important in making someone more expert in the field of design. Therefor, we must always adopt this practice so that we will be successful in the future. Besides that, plagiarism should be avoid to ensure our work more original. Plagiarism can be done but in small amounts, it's best to avoid doing any plagiarism us then our work will be more professional.
