Seventh Week Assignment (Assignment 1)

Have Fun To Plan Your Idea

In this blog I will show you the method to plan creative idea when you don't know where to start. This method will help a lot and it is fun. It may not work but at least you have an idea and it can prevent you from doing things by chances.

Let us begin then!

First list down two variables that you want to connect. For example, you want to create a phone that move, then your variables will be phone and move or you want to create an art work that looks fun, then your variables will be canvas and fun.

In this practice I will be using these.

Then once the variables have been chosen, list down the numbers randomly such as this.

Now is the fun part, choose 3 sets of pair numbers, for example 08, 12 and 00. I'll choose these then.

By using the chosen pairs refer back to your variables list and link them like 4 to 4, 3 to 3 and 6 to 3.

Following, turn them into groups such as ice mountain as group 1 and so on. Then make a sentence for each variable groups. Do not worry to get crazy to create funny sentences, as long as the grammar is correct and the sequence start with left variable then the right it will do!

Alright, since you already have the ideas then start drawing it out! This is not easy as some sentences may seem ridiculous and hard to be drawn just like the 63 but hey, this is how you get your creativity! 

With that, you have successfully created some ideas. Once again they may not work but at least you have an idea to start with, it is always better than having nothing you know! 

Alright now we shall move on to conceptual thinking to create another type of metaphor. With the concepts above try to create something that will make people say for example light mountain at their first gaze. You can create anything as long as it work.

You need not follow the meaning of the words. Words that sound like light for example will also do, such as light as like then you create a Facebook like button in front of a mountain thus "like mountain". Anyway just get creative!

The End!

Just Something Extra

Indeed in design we use metaphor to make our design looks interesting but sometimes it does not works if we've merged the wrong concept together. For example,

This is my design of merges go wrong!

But once you've merged the correct concepts it definitely looks interesting.

A Little Bit More


Now, let's practice a bit to apply metaphor in poem.

Haha, how was my poem? I actually quite like my last. No offence, it just came across my head when my friend was mumbling how unreasonable his girlfriend was. Anyway hope you enjoy!
