Random word/ Image association

Can you, guys connect some idea with the image of LOVE?
Taking love as the main topic by solving the problem of writing a letter.
Figure out an images that represent writing letter with connection of love.
??????????????????


Hmmm....Hmmmm...
Is time for brain storming...
Create a mind map of it....
With those words.....



Association Time~~
Connect the words with the main topic.
Select the sub-topic

Kiss: Kissing the letter before sent it.
Valentine's Days: Writes about the special moment of being together.
etc....


Ideas will pop out when doing such pratice.....
Finalize,
Will have an very representative image
Just like:


Random Association is to help students, researchers to explore ideas by associate image and words.

"The research focuses on how the brain creates new ideas and how this is related to associations and memory.As the participant works to combine the two disparate concepts to create a novel idea, brain-imaging techniques are used to observe how and in what order different parts of the brain respond to these word pairs."

By research conducted at the Institute for Research in Cognitive Science at the University of Pennsylvania."


By this method we can learn how to explore new creative ideas.>.<

Juxtaposition - Images to Words


Theme : Coffee
Topic : Love, Life
" Life could be as simple as the color of coffee;
Pure black color.

When
love come into life,
Is like the coffee mate;
It changes the color of life;
Is kind of intimately.

Every type of coffee,
Has its own love story."


Theme: Time
Topic: Happiness

" Happiness is created by special moment,
With the one,
I care.

Each number on the clock,
Is about story of us."




Today the lesson is about create words from image.

There's nothing impossible to us.
Just like the movie of


When lecturer said that,
nothing is impossible to be done.
As long,
Spin your brain....
Squeeze the brain juice...
Somehow there's some pop up..
(ps: i agree with Sir.)

There's a in-class practical of drawing two combination of creature that is impossible to be.
&
That is what i had draw...
look odd & ugly right?
haha....>.<

Then....
Sir give us a picture of chili
and we have to think of a poem/sentences to talk bout "Love"

" You melted my appetite , be the habit of mine."
" Although it is hot ! But it is driving me crazily."

(ps: i like i draw the chili, its cute n sexy. but not my poem. aikZ...)


Continue with.....
Picture of mortal & pestle.
About "Men/Women"

" Man are like mortal & pestle,
Physically they are strong.
Yet, they need a hand to move/motivate them;
And so...
Woman are the hand."

(ps: that's the week of my exercise o...
i will continue with few more exercise...
stay tuned...)

Juxtaposition - Advertisement

Most of the advertisement contains juxtaposition.
In video type or poster type.

Advertisement show in a juxtaposition method,
Due to attract the audience.
If the message delivered too directly,
It will not arouse lot of audience.




This Video of Advertisement is doing a comparison
between a model in the poster & the customer.

Yet, it shows that....
The powerful effect of the particular product.

>.<
Hope you enjoy the video i shared.

Juxtaposition

Juxtaposition is showing contrast, differences between two object.

Besides that, juxtaposition are shown through comparison
by putting two object together, side by side.

There's a little conflict between left brain & right brain.
Due to, you will trying to figure out the similarity & differences between this two object.

Like the image shown above is juxtaposition.
Juxtaposition of showing the same product with different colors.
Different colors could bring out different meaning and feeling of the image.



This is the image that consider juxtaposition too.
Similarity of the image is they are human, woman, etc.
Contrast & differences between them is the style they have.

Not only images can be juxtaposition.
We could use juxtaposition in verbally or in text.


Verbal & text analogy can be differentiate into two type:

1. Metaphor -
show comparison in imaginative ways,
but without using "as" and " like".
Eg: Love is a rose, its full with torn but pretty sweet.

2. Similes -
show comparison in imaginative ways,
with the usage of "as" or "like".
Eg: Life is like a roller coaster. There's climax and nadir.


Idea of analogy can be category into two too:

1. Logical Analogy:

The design of the product is similar to the other structure in physically.
Eg: Invention of destructive bullet.
It using the concept of how mushroom spread.

2. Affective Analogy:
The emotional and psychologically sense the similarity between two cases.
Eg: He is like a turtle. (due to he is slow)





In this topic, we have an in-class practical.

This is the step instruction:
First Exercise: Choose a two-digit figure.
And so....
I choose figure of 07, 21, 88.

07 - Fly Tree
21 - Lighting Water
88 - Oil Wood

Second Exercise: Create a sentences (link 1st exe.)

1.) The bees fly around the tree.
2. )The lighting strike on the water.
3.) There's oil extract from the wood.

Third Exercise: Create an image that the sentences represent.
Forth Exercise: Create an direct image that the words meant.

(left) Third Exercise ------(right) Forth Exercise
This is the lesson we have>.<

Have a nice day.

Mind Map

Do you ever feel lost when a title is given to you?
What will you do while facing this type of situation?

The right way to overcome this problem is Mind Mapping.

Mind map is all about dealing with ideas that we have,
the idea surrounded with the topic that should be include.

Benefit of mind map:
  • Think smarter by brainstorm your own brain to produce information.
  • Made a better decision, due to have a clear picture of surrounding factors.
  • Able to come out an efficient way of problem solving.
  • Able to prepare a planning with sufficient information.

Mind Map can be differentiate into two category:

1. Logical Mind Map - Relate things that are closely related.

2. Associate Mind Map - Think out of the box.
Link things that no relationship with the main topic.

Assessment:
That week, Mr Halim ask us to draw a logical mind map with free topic.
I choose LucasFilm Ltd as my topic.
This is because i have an high interest in this company.
I wanted to understand more bout this company.
And so.....
This is my mind map >.<

I created it with a big topic in the middle,
to show contrast of the company name,
i draw the company representative product - StarWars's Yoda.


In-class Practical:
After lesson, we have an in-class practical on associate mind map.
Which using Mortal & Pestle as the topic.

Mortal & Pestle

We have to think something odd on this object.

The sub-topic that i choose to be my mind map is:
1. Heaven:
Mortal as the bathtub,
Pestle as the" massager".
Can relax as thought of in heaven.2. Religion:
Taking as the mortal & pestle as the god.
Belief that it will bring their wish to come true.

3. Beach
Imagine mortal & pestle as the transportation of the sea.
Mortal as the sub-marine, due to heavy enough to sink in the sea.
Pestle as the propeller to move the sub-marine.
