Creative Studies Project Progress (3)
Phase 3 (final)
Random words association:
Situation/problem: To encourage new students to enroll in MMU FCM
Random word: Dr. Jackal & Mr. Hyde
Situation: to promote FCM MMU using the metaphor for bad/good (Dr. Jekyll/ Mr. Hyde)
* Good/bad side of FCM students as main topic to promote FCM MMU
* Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde as the metaphor(Symbolism) for “Good/Bad”
* Jekyll/Hyde = 2 sided
* Human Eye as the medium of showing “good/bad”
* FCM students Study Hard and Plays Hard
* Playing not necessarily a “bad thing” as you can learn by experiencing

Juxtaposing the 2 based on similarities
Works hard (Dr. Jekyll)
Plays HARDER (Mr. Hyde)
Multiple personality based on work and social
Constant change in personality

Random Word Association
From the class tutorial, we had given a task to create that will instill fear among people through out the ages. The given random word is "kitten". There are few words that I had thought of during the class. They are Eye, Claw and Whiskers. Form the "claw", the idea is to create traps that could kill anyone that trespass into the compound. The cats claw is hidden as people would know if they have cats under their care. The idea had brought up out because cats stick their claws out when they are alarmed.
From the Whiskers, the ideology is basically enable to detect anyone that trespass the area so that it could alarmed the traps to activate. This is actually come with the claw.
But what i would choose is the "eye", it creates fearful image to scare people away. This is because the eye of the kitten shines when there is light direct to the eye. Thus reflection are created and people will see eyes which now thinking of it make me feel spooky. This is the review that I had sketch in the class.
The picture above is the one that I have draw during the class.
The picture below is the one that I have try to visualize.

Juxtaposition
In the class, we have given a task for choosing numbers from 00 to 99. Then from the list of numbers, there are come words formed in each number. Next we have to combined both words and create a sentence.
This is the list of the numbers given with the text:
For 3 pairs of number that I had chosen are:
22 - lighting rock
27 - lighting tree
57 - Fire tree
Then, this is the 3 sentences that I had formed:
lighting rock - The lighting strikes the rock into pieces.
lighting tree - The lighting strikes the tree like splitting the watermelon into halves.
Fire tree - People use fire to burn down the tree.
Thus these are my sketches for the sentences:
This is the list of the numbers given with the text:
flower 1 0 head
lighting 2 9 rain
ice 3 8 wood
light 4 7 tree
fire 5 6 spider
duck 6 5 root
dog 7 4 mountain
oil 8 3 wind
leave 9 2 rock
fly 0 1 water

27 - lighting tree
57 - Fire tree
Then, this is the 3 sentences that I had formed:
lighting rock - The lighting strikes the rock into pieces.
lighting tree - The lighting strikes the tree like splitting the watermelon into halves.
Fire tree - People use fire to burn down the tree.
Thus these are my sketches for the sentences:
Mindmap
Well, there are 2 mindmap that we learned during the Alpha level of FCM. They consist of "logical mindmap" and "creative mindmap". Both consists of loads of data and flow of information which start from the middle like the tree trunk pattern. Its almost similar to my avatar. They ia the main topic and it branch out into sub topics that is related to the main topic. Mindmap main objective is to present the expended information of any ideas or toughts. It is very important especially for primary brain storming as people would easily pinpoint the best idea for a certain developement or invention. I will explain more about the mindmaps on the 2nd paragraph.
For common logical mindmap, it consists mainly facts and it is presented in a straight forward manner. It lacks or does not have pictures at all for the mindmap, it mainly consist of texts. Although it is straight forward and easy to retrive the information by just looking at it but it does looks pretty dull for people who prefer images. This is the example of logical mindmap.

For common creative mindmap, it also consist mainly facts but it is presented in a creative manner. It attracts the reader as well as it is more effective in brain storming. Why i said like that? It is simply because it consist mostly icons and pictures. There has been description about pictures where they say "pictures worth a thousand meaning". Through this method, people could generate more ideas and understandings reading the mindmap. They might could generate new ideas out of the mindmap too. This is the example of creative mindmap.

That is why design students are advised to use creative mindmaps when they start a design project. This is because creative mindmap really helps us to think more great ideas for our design.
