How mergers go wrong

This is a very fun exercise.

Basically, we need to draw 1 animal which consists of 2 animal.

Huh? Weird huh?

Yup, that's right.

We need to create an animal from 2 animal.

For example, duck and dragon become dragon duck or ziraffe and fish become ziraffe fish and so forth.

The mission is to create an animal that will die instantly.

~This is the answer which consist of fish's head and bird's body where it cannnot breath at all which cause it to die instantly.~

This is what I have drew in class : a combination of elephant and a grasshopper where grasshopper's body can handle elephant's head weight fell down and died.

~These are some merge that I saw from some websites. A merge of an ant and a zebra.~

~ merge of squirrel's head and penguin's body.~

Analogy :

Making the Strange Familiar.

Analogy uses something that has no apparent connection to the object to explain something about the object.

For example, I use ice cream explaining that eat more will become fat.

The main use of analogies in daily conversation is to use something familiar to explain something complex.

~There are a lot of adjectives that can be used to describe an object~

Pain

~A melting ice cream, it is like an incurable disease, melting slowly.~

Chili

~Love is like a chili, the moment you start, you just can't stop!~

Sport Car

~If you give me a Hammer, I can give you my wife, If you give me a Ferrari, I shall give you my life!~

Love or pain?

~The more you love, the more she pains. Yet, love can't be controlled by anyone.~

Happiness

~Happy or sad, it is all up to you. Spent your time with your loved ones wisely. They are happy to see you.~

Love or Life

~Love without life is impossible, Live without love is meaningless. Give it a risk, love with you life.~

Man or Woman

~Woman is like garbage? Meager does go wrong. If woman is like garbage, I will be the dustbin.~

Juxtaposition

Definition:

Juxtaposition means placing things side-by-side.

In art this usually is done with the intention of bringing out a specific quality or creating an effect, particularly when two contrasting or opposing elements are used.

The viewer's attention is drawn to the similarities or differences between the elements.

*taken from about.com*

Basically, it means that solving a problem by using 2 elements.

For example, you want to create a war advertisement with the "We will rock you" song by Bon Jovi.

Is that crazy?

Yes, it is.

We need to be crazy to create a very creative idea.

However, it's not impossible.

For example, we will rock you down if you start a war can be used to combine this 2 element for Juxtaposition.

Novelty, Creativity, Innovation and Invention

Novelty is the quality of being new as it essentially exists in the subjective perceptions of individuals.

Creativity is a mental and social process involving the generation of new ideas or concepts, or new associations of the creative mind between existing ideas or concepts.

Creativity is fueled by the process of either conscious or unconscious insight.


"Innovation, however, requires the contexts of both the past and the future.

Innovation must be creative, but must also cause a change in the creations of others (the future).

If someone creates a piece of art that incorporates a new technique, the piece would only be innovative if it inspired other artists to change how they create art, perhaps by creating a movement based around a new technique or approach.


Innovation thus demands a social context of some sort that creativity does not.


Invention obviously must be new, but if I throw paint at a piece of paper , then I’ve created something new while not something inventive.

It must be new in the sense that it has novelty and utility.


Unlike creativity, inventiveness seems to require the creation of a tool of some sort that others can use.

One can create an invention simply by trying something over and over again until something works.


This would not be a creative process.

Nor would it be an innovation,"says Brent Edward which is the Vice President for Research at Starkey Labs, the largest hearing device company in the US.

He also run a center in Berkeley, CA where they conduct research on hearing, cognition, speech and innovative hearing aid technologies, and is a Visiting Scholar at UC Berkeley

~Brent Edward~

This is the China's toilet which seems novelty to me~

Ain't this cute~ Won't you want to try it?

~Flowers~

~Mirrors~

In class exercise:

Creating an image of a public figure

Bill Gates

This is my imaginary of Bill Gates

Basically, Bill Gates in my imaginery is a symbol of Evolution.

Without him, human won't be able to evolve so fast to create a Cyber World.

As you can see, he worked very hard in order to achieve his goal which is to create a world where everyone can use computers freely.

From just cpu, then add in monitor then slowly introducing WINDOWS. Now finally he has come to WINDOWS VISTA, an Operating System which achieving perfection.

Mind Mapping

Definition:

A mind map is a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks, or other items linked to and arranged radially around a central key word or idea.

Objective 1:

Mind maps are used to generate, visualize, structure, and classify ideas, and as an aid in study, organization, problem solving, decision making, and writing.

The elements of a given mind map are arranged intuitively according to the importance of the concepts, and are classified into groupings, branches, or areas, with the goal of representing semantic or other connections between portions of information.

Objective 2:

Mind maps may also aid recall of existing memories.

Objective 3:

By presenting ideas in a radial, graphical, non-linear manner, mind maps encourage a brainstorming approach to planning and organizational tasks in order to have a lot of ideas.

Method :

Place the keyword or Idea and it has to be distinctive than others.

Structure the categories or genre on the branches to classify the ideas in different colours of branches.

Drawing and Pictures are then replaced to the word.

A picture equals to a thousand of words.

Mind map needs to be neat and clean in order to achieve objective 2.

Creative Mind Mapping :

~different colours of branches to classify them in different groupings.~

~Distintive IDEAS or keyword~

~Use images of drawings which symbolize the words in order to achieve visualization.~


~Mind Map has to be clean and neat in order to easily recall existing memories.~





~Branches becomes smaller from keyword to the groupings.~



Class exercise : Devil in Me

Mind Mapping without doubt is the best way to generate a lot of IDEAS.

Introduction of myself

Hellow, my name is Foo Pin Boon.
I am currently studying at Multimedia University.
My ID number is 1071113456. My hobby is watching anime and sleeping... Zzzz...
Sleeping is good for health but sleep too much can cause migraine...
My favourite country is Japan because Japan is a very creative country.
They always tend to create creative products.
I like to play football.

Creativity

Be Creative, open up you mind

To me, being creative is able to solve problem in the best way and fastest time which means efficient.

When you can efficiently solve problems or works means you are creative.

In wikipedia, creativity means "a mental and social process involving the generation of new ideas or concepts, or new associations of the creative mind between existing ideas or concepts, creativity is fueled by the process of either conscious or unconscious insight.

An alternative conception of creativeness is that it is simply the act of making something new.
I totally agree with what it said.

Basically, what it means is that something which is "created" from nothingness in order to solve a problem.

For example, you want to sit but you don't have a chair then it's time to be open minded and solve the problem in the best and efficient way.

For me, maybe I'll first put 2 box of biscuit as a base then i'll stack a lot of pillow on it for me to sit in a comfortable way.

OK, that sums up what I think about what creativity is.

Thank you.

Below are some pictures of creative products.

Super cool teapot toaster. It's not the same toaster anymore~

Voice recognition ice cream machine. LOVE it!~
