Thematic Project

Creativity in the Context Of Multimedia University

1st step : We have to sketched the Logical Mind Map.


Next is our focus point : Creative Communication in Multimedia University (MMU)


2nd step :
After we have done our mind mapping we have decided to use metaphor which was using two nouns to compare or contrast them to one another. Then, we came out with the design concept
"See Things in Different Ways"

Before we progressed our essay we have discussed the three main objects that we think was related to creative communication for instance Pen, Flower and Camera.


3rd step : Then, we did write an essay that consisted of 955 words.

Random Word/Image Association


Random Association is an idea generation method which allows students to systematically generate new ideas through a fixed formula. The whole premise of Random Association is to use a Random Word to provoke a reaction from the brain.

Scary Cat

In class, we were given a task to draw a scary image or picture that will instill fear among people trough out the ages. The drawing Images must be a part of the cat or kitten body , such as the eye , claw , nail , ears and others. Its all depends to ourselves which part is we think that is scary the most.


Cute Cat



The Blood Eye - Using Photoshop

Cats will raise their back to make them look bigger, their fur will stand up and they may hiss and become tense, watching everything. Their eyes will become large. I think the eye part is the most scary because the cat have a vertical line on the eye. View of the sharp eyes able to see in a very bad condition. Their vision are very useful for hunting prey.

In class, lecturer continue the topic 'juxtaposition'. Same with last week, lecturer ask us to combine two things to create a new thing. Then, we have to choose 2 pictures combination of strange animal that impossible to be happen in life. Below are some picture which make us understand what is "how mergers go wrong".

Combination of chimpanzee & sea lion

Combination of Chicken & Crab

Combination of grasshoper & fish

2nd Excercise

On this excercise, lecturer want us to write a poem/statement to describe the concept to each picture.


Love - Chili
Love is like chili,
The red color of chili is symbol of love,
It taste so good in food when we met someone special in life,
The spicy of chili it can make our feeling hurt,
Choosing the two different color of chili to make us choose the right one,
If u choose the wrong one you will suffer in relationship of love.



Man & Women - Mortar & Pestle
Women are just like mortar with full of passion,
Pestle are physically shows that man strong enough,
Both are important just like man & women,
They need each other, without them theres no new generation.


Happiness - Time
Happiness is like time of gold,
When we forget the happiness memory,
Time will pass through and not will turn around,
Treasure the happiness moment or vice versa, you will regret.



Light - Life
Light is so bright,
Light shines in the sky,
People can't live in the darkness,
We need light all around the world,
We use light for everything,
Without light our lives are not perfect.

Juxtaposition - Part 1

What is Juxtaposition?

A placing or being placed in nearness or contiguity, or side by side; as, a juxtaposition of words.



2 types of Analogy
  • Metaphor
  • simile
Metaphor

Metaphor is when you use two nouns and compare them to one another. Unlike simile, you don't use "like" or "as" in the comparison. Ex: "Life is just a bowl of cherries."

Simile

A comparison between two objects using the words "like" or "as". Ex: She was as mad as a rabid dog.

In class, lecturer has give us something that very funny and creative things to do. Then he want us choose 3 number from 0-99. After that, he show 2 list of things to us and want us combine it with the number that we choose. So, the number that i choose is 10, 60 and 07.and the list that the lecturer give us is :



My WORDS that i choose is Flower Head, Duck Tree and Fly Tree. After that, lecturer want us make a sentences with these words and draw a picture for it.

10- Flower Head
60- Duck Tree
07- Fly Tree

Exercise 1 :

We have to create a sentence using the the random words.

1. I always used flower clip on my hair.
2. why those ducks rove through the large tree?
3. The birds fly over the tree.

Exercise2 :
We have to visualize our sentences.



Exercise 3 :
We have to create a new word by combining the two words together and create and illustrate the image or it.

1. Flowerhead
2. Ducktree
3. Flytree


Associated Mind Mapping

There are 2 types of Mind Mapping :
  • Logical Mind Map
  • Associated Mind Map

Logical Mind Map

The logical Mind Map is directly connected to stereotypes. The logical Mind Map comproses solely stereotypes word. Which means that every word or image that is put within the mind map is directly related to the central subject through its link.

Associated Mind Map

Using an Associated Mind Map we are able to generate random words and also show the link between words that seemingly have no connection.

In the class, we have to make the sentence by using the words 'Mortar & Pestle' which i think is not related at all.

Mortar & Pestle

After that, we have to pick 3 words to make the sentence, the word that i choose is :

Beach

Imagine mortar & pestle as the coconut tree. How does it taste when you drink mortar as a coconut? isn't that tasty.

Hair

combine mortar & pestle into hair dryer

Sun

We could used mortar & pestle as umbrella
