Creativity - the ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patterns,relationships, or the like, and to create meaningful new ideas, forms, methods, interpretations, etc. (dictionary.com)
Innovation - something new or different introduced (dictionary.com)
To tackle the question creativity vs. innovation I first defined both words using dictionary.com. Both are extremely important to a digital design and to any designer in general. Just like stated below, both go hand in hand, you cannot have one without the other. It's important to have both creativity and innovation, however it is more important to be innovative. Innovation is what advances the world, creativity just helps it look nice. So in a battle between the two I would have to say that innovation should be the winner, although it is a tough decision to decide, but the evolution of products and how we get them is just as important if not even more than creativity.
