Final Project [Final Art Form]

This is our final art form for the project. It was done using Microsoft PowerPoint.
[Synopsis: A man who lost his job went to wait for the bus at the bus stop. While waiting for the bus, he reminiscences of his teenage years, when he was engrossed and skilled in creative multimedia. However, his father did not approve of it, so sent him to work at an accounting firm. His boss sow his lack of workmanship, and so fired him. While he looked back, all those knowledge he'd acquired those years on creative multimedia and its possibilities somehow flowed back to his mind and something happened. He was able to regain his roots and interest on creative multimedia again.]

Final Project [Essay & Design Concept]

After the mind maps, we were supposed to do a write up of minimum 800 words with the topic we've chosen, which is 'Variety of Jobs in Creative Multimedia'. As the essay is too long, we've decided to put it as a Google document for the public's viewing pleasure. The link is below.

Lesson 5: Random word/ Image Assiociation

What is Random Word and Image Association?

Random word and Image Association is an idea generator, to help people to generate new idea trough random word.

Random Word
Random stimulate your brain for new idea. Where you can find them? You can find word everywhere, just look around. Waiting for bus in a bus stop, what you see when you waiting fro bus to arrive? There millions of word around you. Internet you can find billions of word in the Internet, you can find tons of word in books, dictionary.

Random Words works in particular by making you go elsewhere for ideas, and hence pushes you out of your current thinking rut. It uses the principle of forced association to make you think in new ways and create very different ideas.

Lecture asked us to do a exercise, we need to create something scary to solve our problem.
Problem: How to keep people away from a specific area?
Word: Kitten
Association: sharp claws, fur, fierce, mammals
Sentences: Sharp Claws- A picture shows very sharp and deathly spike in the sign post.
                   Fur              - Plant a very tall, long, itchy and furry grass around the area.
                   Fierce          - Put a fierce animal as a sign post.
                   Mammals     - Put a lion face on the sign post.

Ideas:

The long, itchy and furry grass. The grass will prevent people to go near the area.

Lecturer gave us a test or maybe you can call it a game or something interesting.

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

Now choose three 2-digit number example 21/88/57
My number was 03/31/91

So according to your number list out the word above example 21=Lightning water, 88=Oil Wood, 57= Fire Tree

My word combination was 03=Fly Wind, 31=Ice Water, 91=Leave Water
Now make three sentences out of three word combination above.
Fly Wind: My Kite fly when Strong wind blow.
Ice Water: The Ice freezes the water.
Leave Water: I leave the class the refill my bottle with water.

Draw out three picture accordingly to your three sentences.

 This is one of the possibility of the word 'Fly Wind'.
  
This is drawing come from the word 'Fly Wind'
   
 This drawing come from my sentence that i wrote above. Fly wind.



This picture shows an ice containing water inside.

This picture show two ice cube floating on the water.

 This is an eye ball floating on the water, and come from the word Ice water.

This picture shows the word 'leave water'.

 As you can see the picture show a elevator surrounded with water.
 A drop of water have the texture of a leaf, and this come from the word Leave Water.

Juxtaposition Part 2
We need to combine two animal charateristic together that is impossible to survive. Example:  Giraffe+Eagle= Earaffe


Poem Time:
Chili Love
My heart burst to flame when I see you
just like eating a Hot Spicy Chili
I desire the sensation of being Hot
but the sensation of love does not last eternity
just like eating a Hot Spicy Chili

Women's Mortar

Add ingredient to the mortar,
out some feeling in,
Let pound it with long hard pestle,
after the sensational pounding,
here come your product.

Happiness Time

Restore my dying soul
Recover my broken heart
Regain my long lost happiness
I need time and some long rest
Time heals all wound
Time regain my confidence

Life Candle

Life is short and meaningless
Candle burn out fast and worthless
As time goes by my life getting shorter
As time goes by the candle getting shorter
Sudden silent...

Lesson 4: Juxtaposition

What is Juxtaposition?
Juxtaposition mean to turn something familiar into less familiar. Example:

Tomorrow got exam, but I not planning to study.
Weather very cold, but those boy do not want to wear any extra clothing.
He feeling thirsty, but he don't want to drink water.

Analogy
Metaphor is the concept of understanding one thing in terms of another. A metaphor is a figure of speech that constructs an analogy between two things or ideas; the analogy is conveyed by the use of a metaphorical word in place of some other word. For example: "Her eyes were glistening jewels". Similes use word such as "like".

This picture shows similes


Sorry for this, no offence. I just wanted to show a fail metaphor, this show sexual harassment.


Mortal and Pestal
I chose RED as my title to combine mortal and pestle together with red, the picture above shows mortal and pestle back in 2010 human uses them as color palette and brush.

Back in 2010 human, human maybe use mortal and pestle as coconut opener, as you can see the picture above.


Yes~ the GREAT WALL. Back in 2010 human use mortal and pestle as material to build GREAT WALL.

Back in 2010 human use Mortal and pestle as weapon, mortal as shield and pestle as sword as you can see in the picture.
