We were suppose to do a case study for the lateral things that have evolve ever since they were created. I chose the topic about Ez-link card.
Ez-link card was used to be merely transportation card.
But as we progress in this society, just within 10 years, the card had evlove many time.
Now, it is not only a transporation card, but it can be use as ATM card, Credit card, and for example Passion card
Passion card , can be use as membership card, ezlink card, and also ATM card.
Conclusion:
After realising this, I realise that the society now is progressing very fast. To know that it was this 10-15 years, ezlink card is invented.

Chicken and Bee
We were asked to think of different ideas of "how can we block the chicken to go to our fance, without making notify out neighbour." And also, "why the bee go to the painting instead of the real rose."
So my goupmate, each thought of 10 ideas. We then accumutlate it together to our mahjong paper.
Some of us even stay back to think of the ideas, and some of us bought back the mahjong paper to improve the visual art.
Conclusion:
Comparing this project with "101 ways of using wood", I think I became more daring in the ideas i think. I have more creative ideas then i first come to Creative thinking class.

Mindset to be Creative
For me to be creative is to see more design from other people in internet, or maybe work in non-optimal timing, so that I can be in total silence to do my work.
After doing the project from "how to be more creative", I get to know more ways of how I can be more creative to do my work. For example, I tried to go to the library around my estate to get more ideas from books.

.
To be honest, this way of being more creative wasn't that effective for me. I think is quite waste of time, as i need to find the right book, and I am a person more towards visualising, reading book are totally not my kind, and I won't be able to understand fully.
Another way I tried to be creative was to set my mood right. I went to Singapore Art Museum, to let myself to indulge to the atmosphere of art.

This way is much more effective than going to the library. As I said, I am a person more to visualising, looking at other people work,it give me ideas. Letting me to know the difference between my design and other people one. It give me a wider image of what I can improve, and how i should set my standard.
Conclusion:
I think that having this new ways to let me boost my creativity is good. But I still like the way I have, like working in non-optimal timing help me more. Going to museum do help me alot too, but it might need me to waste more time to travel, and is not that convenience. I believe that this new ways will needed soon, as I continue to pursuit my studies in NAFA, but currently I will still like to stick with my old ways.
How To Be More Creative?
For this topic, we were suppose to think of ways and example of how we can be more creative.
After our lecturer explain to us in detail of what we need to do, my group tried to do research on how we can be creative. We use a mahjong paper to write down the possible ways we have find of how to be creative, and we also include some of our own ideas. Our lecturer also suggested us that we should categorise it, so that our visual presentation for our mahjong paper will be good. So my teammate, Jianyong brought back that mahjong paper to improvise the visual presentation for the mahjong paper.
As my team and myself were quite busy for our other assessment, we can hardly meet up for discussion for this project, so we discuss through Whatsapp.
Though for this project we couldnt meet up for discussion, but we still mange to talk things out, and finish what we are suppose to do.
Ideas that have written on the mahjong paper for presentation.
Conclusion:
After doing this project, I believe it really open my mind wider. As i get to know more ways of being creative to do my artwork, not only the ways i know. I believe this ways will help me and teammate too, if we have mind block in the future, we can always seek other ways to have new ideas.Thursday, 8 October 2015
Illustration for 101 ways of using Wood
We were told to illustrate some of the most interesting ways of using the wood. Each one of us that are in my group choose one to illustrate. I decided to illustrate a power outlets that are make of wood.
Concept:
I think if we use wood to make power outlets it will be good. So that it wont be easy to have shock circuit, and is quite unique to use wood than normal plastic for power outlets. Even if it have shock circuit, it wont have the poison acid from the plastic that is harmful to human body.
3 items that break the rules
We were ask to find 3 things around our surrounding that is out of the norm. So my group went to this shop, "Totally Hot Stuffs" to look for our ideas.
1) Utensils
This set of utensils is quite special but not much difference when it comes to usage. Commonly utensils have that smooth metal/plastic for you to hold but this design of utensils have some curvy parts, adding a smiling face on the tip, probably targeted for kids.
2) Table Lamp
Modern table lamps don't have such design anymore, if so, it's quite uncommon.This design reminds me of the electric chair, when you switch it on, it shocks your brain just like how this lamp will light up. It has a really simple design, a straight up metal rod a hold the light bulb, standing on top of the wooden base.
3) Alarm Clock
Who would come up with such fancy design for an alarm clock. A common alarm clock will just have that simple plain design, but this clock is totally different from the rest as it represent a bomb, with different wires going around the actual display of the time. Looks like a bomb that will surely explode though.
Conclusion:
This are things that we feel are out of the norm, we can hardly see it. The design is really quirky, and very creative. It give us a great impression for it.

5 Things that break the rules
This design is really quirky, it make people feel like biting it. It's little man let people to have attention to it. And this giant chocolate, will make the passengers feel hungry.
This design is really cool and unique. It seem like the building was being cut into two pieces. Is fascinating ideas and bold. Out of a normal way, how billboard should be like.
A design that is out of the box literally. This coca-cola advertisement is really a awesome way how they promote their motto, "refresh on the coca-cola side of life". Drinking it, even though you are taking photo shoot for poster.
I love this design that make it so realistic. It caught people attention easily, and can fool people with the liquid that seem to been pouring out.
This design is really cool, is a real thing that was displayed out. It give people the clear awareness, and definitely it will caught your attention.
