Random Word Assocation

On the day of 10th December, the lecturer Radzi Bedu had introduce a new method of being creative to us ~ Random word Association. Put 2 seemingly un-realated words together and comes out with a new idea. Unlike juxtaposition which literally mix 2 items together, random word association only insert the characterisic of one word into another, which seemingly is better than juxtaposition in my opinion.

So ~~ again we were asked to do some in-class exercise which about "How to make a person to stop smoking in 6 months time" . Our outcomes need to be based on the characteristics of this ~~

Yup !!! traffic light!

the words that given are:

1. Colour

2. Metal

3. Dirty

4. Sign

 Sign

-sign which represent the heartbeat figure

 Dirty

-chemical substance which constantly make the shirt dirty by the smoke.

Metal

- feels hot if keep smoking

Juxtaposition

So we were introduced to the concept of "Juxtaposition" on 3rd December 2012 which happend to be another method for us to become more creative ~ Juxtaposition basically means that combining 2 different things and comes up with something new~ so 1st we were asked to create an animal which is complete un-survive-able. And it turns out ( said by the lecturer ) should be something with a fish head and bird body ( sorry I can't find the image that the lecturer shared to us )

So after that ~ we were asked to chose a 3 pairs of number from the digit 0 ~ 9
I chose 86 02 16
 then we were asked to search for the pairs of words according to the numbers we chose based on these arrangement
1.Flower                   0.Head
2.Lightning               9.Rain
3.Ice                          8.Wood    
4.Light                      7.Tree
5.Fire                        6.Spider
6.Duck                     5.Root
7.Dog                       4.Mountain
8.Oil                         3.Wind
9.Leave                    2.Rock
0.Fly                         1.Water

so it turns out that my combination are :-
1. 86 > oil spider
2. 02 > fly rock
3. 16 > flower spider

and we were asked to develop our combination into sentences and images ~ which I will upload later on ~ stay tuned ~ =D

 1)In the oil there's a spider.
2)The bird fly and hit the rock.
3)In the flower there's spider.

                                                   Most left         Middle          Most right
                                                  Oil spider       Fly rock        Flower spider

Apply Mind Mapping

Okay so in the day 26th November 2012, our lead lecturer (we have 3 lecturers for the subject "Creative Studies") Radzi Bedu had revised us about the concept of mind mapping and the things I scare the most finally happened... EXERCISE IN CLASS !!!

so...we are asked to reorganise the usage of these things ~

mortar and pestle ~ =D

okay so I'll post the pictures of my reorganization ~ XD

 Death                                                                                     Medical

- A sign to differentiate gender in the graveyard                        -use it as a massage tool

                                                     Weapon

                                                    - As a bomb !!!!!!

Random topic

okay so out of nowhere my lecturer posted 2 links on our learning centre on the day which I forgotten

http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/tech/article/japans-gadget-failures-the-futures-that-never-happened/
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-20400239 

So it turns out that the two creation is a BIG failure, I dont think it is really a BIIIIIIIG failure, just that they didn't found the right buyers ~ but it's true that not enery single innovation and creation is a big success. Not that much innovation brings a big impact to the society though ~ the lastest thing bring "bam" the world I think is the apple iPhone. It brang the world the a whole new level in in telecommunication field.

But none of us can deny that Japanese has most of the so-called creative person since they invented many many things seems useless for us. But at least they created it, so others can find the weakness and innovates it ~ 

What made someone to comes out a great outcomes is DARE TO FAIL

Mind Mapping

So ~ in the day of 19th November2012 our lecturer talkd about how can we explore our mind through mind mapping. Since our brain does not work in sequence, the idea just pop up out of nowhere, mind mapping can help us to boost up our creativity.

The most famous person that introduce the concept of mind mapping is Tony Buzan.

Mind map is a good method because :-
1. Straight forward
2. Informative
3. Do not need to go in sequence

So here is a link that introduce the method for mind mapping that the lecturer gave us to watch during the class~ Enjoy !!!~~
