Design Process

STEP1 : Logical Mind Map

This is the Logical Mind Map for "Creative Multimedia".

This is the Logical Mind Map for "Imagination".

STEP2 : Essay Report

Based on our both mind map from the above, below is the essay report about "How imagination play its role in virtual world".

STEP3 : Design Concept (Possibilities in Creative Multimedia)

STEP4 : Idea and Sketches

Based on our concept (box), we have come out with 50 sketches.

My own sketches

STEP5 : Best Composition

LAST STEP : Final Composition (done in Illustrator)

Random Association Exercise

Exploration on Juxtaposition; Analogy, Metaphor and Similes.

Exercise that have been done in class.

A very creative exercise which i enjoyed much throughout the class.

Statement

-LOVE-


Love is spicy and hot,
It makes us cry once we get excited,
It also add extra tastes once we fall into it,
Just like what a chili tastes.

-PAIN-

Ice-cream gives out coldness,
When the moment we eat it in a hurry,
We start to sense excruciating pain and sensitive towards our teeth,
Just as if the pain in our life,
Everything requires patient,
Once we missed it,
We are got to suffer the pain for the rest of our life.

-Man-

Man can be defined as a mortar,
Mortar is strong enough no matter how hard the pestle knock on it,
Just as if the man is strong enough to protect a woman,
Mortar is big and able to function well,
Just as if the man is responsible in carried out a task,
Mortar is just like what a man should be.

Juxtaposition

The first moment i saw the word 'juxtaposition', it links me straight to something which is related to position.

When two compositional elements are placing side by side, we can see the contrast and similarity by comparing them. Under this situation, it is called juxtaposition. Juxtaposition enable us to change the meaning of certain elements automatically. Meanwhile, contrast is something paradox or the different shows between both the elements. For example, I am hungry, but I don't feel like eating anything.

little cafe/skyscrapers



big/small



color/black and white

Stereotype

This week, we were assigned to draw the things which link to mortar and pestle by the lecturer.

1) Sound

The pestle will be the drum stick and of course the drum, which is the mortar. Once they knock each other, sound exist. Can be used as musical instrument.

2) Food

The pestle will be the spoon and of course the bowl, which is the mortar. For eating purposes.

3) Entertainment

The pestle will be the stick to support the toy, which is the mortar. Turn the mortar which have been decorated in order to get yourself entertained.

Associated mind map

Divergent thinking - involved tearing a topic apart to explore its various component parts.
Convergent thinking - involves combining or joining different ideas together based on elements these ideas have in common.

From what i have learn this week during Mr. Radzibedu's class, associated mind map enables random words to relate with each others even though they have no connection at all. This leads to divergent thinking which means that brainstorming is acquired in order to think of something creative, yet it is still relevant to the topic given. Under associated mind map, one can think out of the box and think freely. For example, when we talk about bed, we will straight away think of a place for us to either sleep or dream. Instead, in associated thinking, maybe we can consider it as a place for us to work???
