Abstract

Virtual simulation is one of the most important techniques that have been adapted to the design of advertising. Because it simulates reality to the student, And allows him to experiment and enjoy access to design solutions through various activities using the computer.

The process of thinking is the mental dialogue that aims to arrive at successful solutions to the problem of design. Through the data and requirements of the target, and thinking depends on the integration and organization of past experiences and the discovery of the correct responses. Thinking can’t be done unless preceded by a problem that challenges the student's mind and moves his feelings and motivates his motives. The thinking is characterized by research, exploration and looking beyond the events and phenomena, but the idea is the end and outcome of the process of thinking.
Creative thinking seeks to solve problems and discover new relationships between elements in order to reach new ideas that are distinct and applicable. Virtual simulation has responded as an interactive learning environment by developing students' creative thinking to solve the problems they encounter during the design study.
The importance of research Show through the role of virtual simulation as an interactive learning environment in the development of creative thinking of students of the Faculty of Applied Arts. It is possible that the virtual simulation of the student of the advertising department will provide an opportunity to expand his awareness. And then training and control of the educational situation and allows the freedom to modify the design to reach the largest number of design solutions that contribute to increased student absorption of information.
