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.

Method of Random Association:

1. Use an image or object, these image is random choose.
2. Try to create some random words with come to your mind 1st when u saw the object.
3. Use these random words as guide to link with a completely different ideas.


With this method, u can create plenty of different ideas and make your brain think in different direction as well. Therefore, it is quiet helpful for those people who lack of ideas.


Task
To create ''SCARY IMAGE'' or ''OBJECT'' that will instill fear among people through out the ages!
Initial image:Kitten

This is my final work by using the concept kitten to create an scary image.

It is a very very scary pumpkin which is full of sharp tooth. This idea is came from the word 'witch'. Witch is always relate to pumpkin, therefore i use pumpkin to create a scary image.

That is how image association works, kitten>Witch>Scary image
Pumpkin is nothing similar to cute little kitten but the idea is came from kitten initially.

That is all i learn from the class, Thank You.

MOST SCARIEST PUMPKIN IN THE WORLD!!!

Mind Map

What is Mind Map?

A mind map is a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks, or other items linked to and arranged around a central key word or idea. Mind maps are used to generate, visualize, structure, and classify ideas, and as an aid to studying and organizing information, solving problems, making decisions, and writing.

Characteristic of Mind Map
A mind map is often created around a single word or text, placed in the center, to which associated ideas, words and concepts are added. Mind map usually make use of color, icons and visual link. Mind Map is usually memorable and quicker to scan compare to note. It is a good way for learning.

Logical Mind Map

The Logical Mind Map is directly connected to stereotypes. The Logical mind map comprises of solely stereotype words. Which means that every word or image that is put within the mind map is directly related to the central subject through its links.

Normally easy to read and analysis by user. User can understand the meaning through 1 scan.

Associated Mind Maps

Using an associated mind map we are able to generate random words and also show the links between words that seemingly have no connection.

This mind map can help us to be creative in thinking in different direction. Mostly contain word that is unrelated that need user their creativity to relate them together. 

Based on the associated mind map provided above, I have chosen these three words:

1.Discipline

Punish the student to carry the heavy morta and pestle. Hahaha...

2.$$$

Fastest way to gain money for MMU FEE, rob people with pestle

and when u meet cops, LOL!!

3.Exercise

Surely can decrease 50% of ur weight after a week.

That is all, interesting class,  thank for viewing.

Juxtaposition

 Wat is JUXTAPOSITION

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

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. It is a good ways to let the thinker to get more ideas and its effective and easy to apply make it become popular among the artist.

Exercise: We do some little exercise today in the class.

We are given 2 row of number.

1. Flower                   1. Head

2. Light                     2. Rain

3. Ice                        3. Wood

4. Light                     4. Tree

5. Fire                       5. Spider

6. Duck                     6. Root

7. Dog                      7. Mountain

8. Oil                        8. Wind

9. Leave                   9. Rock

0. Fly                        0. Water

After that, choose 3 set of number from these 2 row.
What i choose is 03, 18 and 99.

03= Fly Wood

18= Flower Wind

99= Leave Rock 

After that, we build a sentence with these 2 words and draw a picture to show it.

03: A bird fly on the sky been hit by wood.

18: The flower has been blow away by the wind

99: There is a leave beside the rock

 
Then, combine the 2 words together and again draw out.
03= FlyWood

18= FlowerWind

99= LeaveRock

Exercise 2:
The second exercise in class was to create a creature by combining two type of animals based on the given choices, and at the same time, take the chance or its survival into account, which means the creature created must be IMPOSSIBLE to live even a minute.

The answer is Bird + Fish. It is because the fish must be in water but bird are suppose to be flying in the sky. Therefore, there is no way it can live.

This is all i learn in class, thanks you!!

Bill Gates

Bill Gates, a big name in computer industry, was born on October 28, 1955 in a family having rich business, political and community service background. He is one of the most influence person in the world. Gates is one of the best-known entrepreneurs of the personal computer revolution.

HOW Bill Gates success?
Nobody will success without hard work, same as Bill Gates, he strongly believes in hard work. He believes that if you are intelligent and know how to apply your intelligence, you can achieve anything. From childhood Bill was ambitious, intelligent and competitive. His personality make a huge change in his life.

Bravery in Making Decision
What make Bill Gates so special compared to others? It is because he is not afraid of change. He always think of the future. He knew that computer technology can lead to a new type of business. His decision of withdrawal from  Harvard College and open a computer company is now proved as a success and one of the most important decision in Bill's life.

People always fear change. People feared electricity when it was invented, didn't they? People feared coal, they feared gas-powered engines... There will always be ignorance, and ignorance leads to fear. But with time, people will come to accept their silicon masters.

Bill Gates

Passionate
It is no doubt that we say Bill Gates is the passionate person. If you really love something, you’ll strive to be the best at it that you can, and that’s what Bill Gates has done. Bill Gates passion for software is what really drove the company to success. Microsoft is a company that has made software, and all of their products are always gonna give a quality competitive if they are not the better. They never give up in the competition of new software. Bill Gates’ passion for technology has led Microsoft to be the most successful software company and you will never denies the trues.

Whether it's Google or Apple or free software, we've got some fantastic competitors and it keeps us on our toes.   

Bill Gates

Creativity

In the early years, software are free and no payment are given to the software developer. However, Bill Gates felt the different ways in this concept, he thinks that software can become a new types of business. Then, the famous Open Letter to Hobbyists is written by Bill. In the letter, Gates expressed frustration with most computer hobbyists who were using his company's Altair BASIC software without having paid for it. He asserted that such widespread unauthorized copying in effect discourages developers from investing time and money into creating quality software. He cited the unfairness of gaining the benefits of software authors' time, effort, and capital, without paying that author anything. Finally and until now, software are bundled with the machine and the current distribution method.

Smart is an elusive concept. There's a certain sharpness, an ability to absorb new facts. To ask an insightful question. To relate to domains that may not seem connected at first. A certain creativity that allows people to be effective

Bill Gates

Innovation
Innovation can be seen as the process that renews something that exists and not, as is commonly assumed, the introduction of something new. Bill show his talent in innovation. He proposed using 86-DOS (QDOS), an operating system similar to CP/M that Tim Paterson of Seattle Computer Products (SCP) had made for hardware similar to the PC. After adapting the operating system for the PC, Microsoft delivered it to IBM as PC-DOS in exchange for a one-time fee of $50,000. Gates did not offer to transfer the copyright on the operating system, because he believed that other hardware vendors would clone IBM's system. He smartly use the resources or creation of others to benefit himself and the sales of MS-DOS made Microsoft a major player in the industry.

Microsoft is not about greed. It's about innovation and fairness.
Bill Gates 

Invention
Bill is also a great inventor with plenty of idea. He and Paul Allen developed an Altair emulator that ran on a minicomputer, and then the BASIC interpreter in a few week. Besides, he also create the giant company Microsoft which dominant in computer field now.

I think it's fair to say that personal computers have become the most empowering tool we've ever created. They're tools of communication, they're tools of creativity, and they can be shaped by their user.
Bill Gates 

Novelty
He always give surprise in Microsoft new product and successfully attract the eye of the public. The first version of Microsoft's word processor, Microsoft Word was also the first application with such features as the ability to display bold text. Besides, although he not the inventor of mouse but he make everyone use mouse until today. The introduce of Windows also a make a huge change in IT world.

Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning.
Bill Gates

Many people may criticise Bill way of business but most of the them is admire by his huge distribution to the charity. Bill has create one of the world's largest charitable foundation "William H. Gates Foundation". Bill may not be the most rich people in the world but surely he is the most generous person in this world.

Creative??

What is creative? What is the definition of creative?
when you search in google, there are thousand of answers for the meaning of creative. when you ask your friends, your family, a different answers will given.
why?? why there are so many answer for creative? This is because every single person have their own creativity in their nature. That is why they have different definition for creative. Those answers are build by their experience and consciousness in their daily-life.
For conclusion, there are no fixed answer for creative.

Creativity can be anywhere

Many may ask if everyone is creative, then why there are only a few person who also know as genius can stand out among the most, are they really special or different than us?
look what edison say to us

Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.

Thomas A. Edison

Yup, these genius learn and learn, work and work every second in their life and finally lead to a road to success. A man creativity grow by learning in daily-life, maybe you are not realish your design are influence by your daily experience, by the world surrounding you.

Or we look at the creative process which mention by Graham Wallas

Creative Process
According to Graham Wallas, creative insights and illuminations may be explained by a process consisting of 5 stages.

1.  preparation (preparatory work on a problem that focuses the individual's mind on the problem and explores the problem's dimensions),
2. incubation (where the problem is internalized into the unconscious mind and nothing appears externally to be happening),
3. intimation (the creative person gets a "feeling" that a solution is on its way), 
4. illumination or insight (where the creative idea bursts forth from its preconscious processing into conscious awareness); and 
5. verification (where the idea is consciously verified, elaborated, and then applied).

Everyone will pass through these 5 process when they apply their creativity. But the different between a success and failure is how many time you repeat these 5 process. People learning from failure, thinking positively and apply the new idea. How perseverance are you can change your life.

However, the most important part is we should think outside the box. All of us are trap inside our own impoverished knowledge. So, starting from now, learning from each others, accept critism from others and improve yourself. One day, your creativity will be generally acknowledged by the world.

A man, as a general rule, owes very little to what he is born with - a man is what he makes of himself.

Alexander Graham Bell
