Do not blindly follow the requirements in an employment ad
While it is not suggested that you do not do a thorough check on what the company requires and looks forward to in a candidate, you must not also adhere to each and every qualification details that the company you are applying to asks for in its employment ad.
However, if you do not belong to the creative field, or are not even remotely creative, and are still thinking of applying for a job in design or writing, the idea will be a failure, But, if you have done some volunteer work that is creative or have a creative bent of mind but have not worked in that field as yet, you can apply for a creative job like graphic designing or video editing. Employers/recruiters do have some job requirements and want some basic qualifications in the candidate that are related to the job, but they also do not go by the set criteria of requirements always. If you have the skills and/or knowledge on the field, you may very well fit the position. There might be many other candidates applying for the job who do not have the exact job qualifications as listed in the job posting. Also, there are certain requirements which come prior to others in the list, so, analyze if you have the qualifications that are a priority to the company and you may get an interview call from the company, based on your resume. If you are good at the qualifications the company most requires, they will be more than willing to let go of some lesser important ones.
Be creative
