Final Project Mindmap Progress.

Hello again, its me. This weeks class was more of consultation about the final project progression. Apparently i thought we had class at 10am for Digital Animation. Apparently we didnt, so i just stayed there anyway while waiting for my friends to come over to discuss about the mind map for our final project for creative studies. and well, i was with one of my group members. We waited long enough for the rest to come to discuss with us. We did some rough mind map sketching and first with branch sticking out. Basically i stayed since 10am to 4pm for discussion and for the class. Honestly i am exhausted physically and emotionally. But i wont let that upset me now. I will post up some rough sketches of the mind map that we did. This should be a progress work, mr.Radzibedu wanted us to post them up in our blog. Here they are. Basically we started out with the topic that we were doing this semester which is called "Creative Multimedia" and not Faculty of Creative Multimedia. I was confused at first, but i understood it somehow after that. So later on we focused on a more deeper catogary of Creative Multimedia which we all agreed to do on which is "Applications". So here it is.



"Creative Multimedia"-mindmap.

"Applications"-mindmap.


Thats all for now.

Toodles! :)

Lesson 8 : Further Random Association.

I believe this week should be the last week for our blog posts review. Well last week in class, mr.Radzibedu was briefing us about the final group project assignment that we have to do in a group of 5. So me and my friends will be meeting up soon to discuss about the topic given and sketches. Besides that, we were also told to do this little exercise about random association. Well im not really sure about what exactly we have to post because mr.Radzibedu said he was going to upload the slides on the homework that we are suppose to be doing. But i have a rough idea about the exercise we're suppose to be doing. Here is what i think we are all suppose to do.

Create "Scary Images or Object" that will instill fear among people through out the ages using (kitten).

1. Paws.
People who like to steal/rob things are highly advised to stop doing it. This is because the paws of a cat is believed to injure their hands and fingers as though they were scratched by cats. It will be so violent that those people who experience this may never be able to feel their hands anymore instead it just feels like a dead piece of your body.

2. Fur.
Fur is believed to grow on human skin when they purposely get themselves injured. Nobody knows how this works but in most cases it happens to people who enjoys hurting themselves physically. These furs that grow will be violent and sometimes will spread to the whole body and makes human look like animals.

3. Cat eyes.
Cat eyes are believed to appear late at night when you wake up from a really bad dream. If you go back to sleep after that, if you are able to see the furious cat eyes when your eyes are closed, its a sign that something really bad is going to happen afterwards. So you are advised not to fall asleep after that.

4. Black color cat.
A black color fur cat is said to have very bad signs and things happening if you ever see them crossing in front of you or just about anywhere. It is best to avoid contact with any black cats because it is believed that slowly one thing will go wrong and will be followed with alot of other bad things.

I believe that my post will end here. I might post up pictures later. This journey i have been experiencing learning this subject will surely be remembered. I actually remember studying Media Appreciation and Media Culture which reminds me alot about this subject. I want to thank all the lecturers who have helped us go through this subject. And may we meet again in the future subjects we will have. Good day everybody!

I hope tomorrow will be a better day. Toodles! :)

Lesson 8 : Random Association.

Hello again. This weeks lecture was given by Mr.RadziBedu. It was very interesting as it was about Idea generation. It was more of how to produce ideas since to all of us it was rather difficult being an arts student. We are in constant need of coming up with new ideas. Thus, he came up with this lecture about idea generation. I feel it is effective in many ways and also rather hilarious. He used this system of random association. How he relates to things that have no relation to the subject to produce more ideas. In class, he made us try out this by giving situations and asking us to relate it with random words. I am ought to post my pieces of drawings later because i havent done that yet for some time.

So the situation he gave us this time is about "How to make a person stop smoking in 6 months time?"

The random words he gave us is "Traffic Light,"

How we generate ideas is by giving adjectives to a traffic light and transform it and relate them to cigarattes. I will post up my drawings in awhile. I really think this subject is funny but in some ways i have learn some things. Hope the next class is worth looking forward to as it is now.




How to make a person stop smoking in 6 months time?
Random Association : Traffic Light.

1. Metal : Make it tough to smoke.

Explanation : The cigarette will be made of metal and it is so heavy and annoying for people to smoke. This is because they have to know how to balance it in the mouth but its troublesome and it is tough to smoke. Is will also be more expensive for one metal cigarette.

2. Dirty : Create a "YUCKY" effect to cigarette.

Explanation : When it is lighted up, the cigarette will release a pungent smell. It will also produce watery liquid toward the end of the igarette. It will be really "yucky" and sticky so people wont like to smoke it.

3. Sign : Create a weird and scary sign.

Explanation : The cigarette box has a picture of a person who is half human and skeleton. So the head of the man is at the opening/closing of the box. When somebody opens the box, it will scare them because it is as if it is breaking the persons head through the mouth when you open it.

Toodles!

Lesson 7 : Juxtaposition 3.

In yesterdays Creative Studies class, Mr.Radzibedu re-talked about the juxtaposition topic. I feel it was rather interesting just about everything he teaches about juxtaposing things. He gave us random quiz/play that we have to do in class. First he told us to write a bunch of random objects/things. Later on he told us to pick 3 favorite numbers. And soon combine those letter with the objects and have to draw them out. Its really funny but I think i got what he was trying to say/teach. I guess he was trying to ask us to think out of the box. The most random/weird combinations of things could also result in something really good. So i believe it when he explain his reasonings. He also got us to write things based on give objects/things like chillie. He told us to write about love but relate it to chillies. Which i found to be super hillarious, but works somehow. I will post up that piece of sketch thing we did soon for the documentation for this blog. He also told us to do a little homework he gave. Here it is.


Waterfall in terms of Love.

Love is like a waterfall. As its never flowing to smoothly. There will always be ups and downs. n love like the arguments and misunderstandings. It happens from time to time to keep us stronger. Just like love. Sometimes falling hard brings you back up again. Love is like a waterfall because it is suppose to keep flowing even though sometimes its difficult to get back up again. But that is why its a continuous flow, just like our love.


Skies in terms of Life.

Life is never easy. It is always uncertain. There are so many different challenges everyday. So life is like the skies we look at everyday. The skies are always changing. The clouds move in different way with different colors. Sometimes the skies look mellow, like our lives. Life can be sad at times, but it keeps going on. Like the winds in the sky, they keep our lives going. Sometimes when the skies are blue, we feel like our life is doing good on that day. Sometimes the sky is grey, just like our life at times when we have problems or stress. But it keeps changing everyday. Nothing stays the same in life, just like the sky.


Pills in terms of Pain.

Pain, we feel it everyday. Even sometimes when we are doubtful that we are feeling it, we actually do. It is there, even without us noticing it. The pain never goes away, just like a pill. A pill is intended to make whatever pain we feel go away, but it never really does. It numbs that feeling for a moment, but it is still there. Our pain, sometimes we feel like there isnt any, but sometimes we just forget about it for a moment. So when it comes back again we realize it is pointless, just like the pills we eat to make them go away. It doesnt go away, it is there to stay.

I hope people get what im trying to say here. I will post up the drawings later.



I did a rough sketch of a chicken head and a snail body. You can refer to the picture up here. Besides that I also drew an elephant head with an ants body. Radzibedu wanted to see if these animals could live if it were ever to be real in this world. So, judge it.

Random Chosen Words.
1. Flower Mountain.
2. Fire Rock.
3. Oil Mountain.

Class Exercise :

Love = Chilly

Your love is so spicy like a chilly it makes my heart spiced up and beat fast. You look so hot in red like a read hot chilly(HAHA).

Men = Mortar & Pestle

Men are like mortar and pestle because they are rough and hurtful like the material of it. Their words are so hurtful like hitting a pestle hard on the mortar.

Toodles!

Lesson 6 : Juxtaposition 2.

Last week, Sharifah Nur Antasha spoke about Juxtaposition again. Another part of it that is. It was rather interesting to see many contrast examples that she has shown us in the class. She also thought us the meanings of Simile and Metaphore. I think these two words are very important in our life. We are constantly using it every now and then.

Simile is a figure speech in which two fundamentally unlike things are explicitly compared, usually in a phrase introduced by like or as.

An example is like, your lips are red like roses. or, your fast as a cheetah.

Metaphore however is a figure speech in which an implied comparison is made between two unlike things that actually have something in common. But does not use words "like" or "as".

An example is, love is a rose.

Besides that, she also mention what oxymoron is. It is an expression with contradictory words. This could also lead to dissonance which means conflict of right and left brain.
