Week 7: Kitten? Cute or scary?

Kitten? Are they cute? Are they playful? Do they have big bubbly eyes? That are the points that i jot down to describe a kitten during tutorial class. As Mr. Radzi gave the activity, he wanted us to write the characteristic of kitten and draw any part of kitten such as the eye, the paws, etc and turn the chosen part to make it scary. For this activity, i have chose the eye of a kitten and below are the drawing.The eye of a kitten. Do this eyes make you scare?

Week 7: Juxtaposition? Part 2

Hey! i'm back with more Juxtaposition topic. This time, Mr Radzi had told us to choose two different species of animals and merge them to create another animal which doesn't exist in real life. For this activity, i have choose a wolf and a pig. Below is the drawing that i draw. Please be execuse for the drawing.
This is a Wolf Pig. What do you think about it? In my point of view, the merge between the wolf and pig is disaster. Some of juxtaposition image can be meaningful and some of it can be a disaster. Why Wolf Pig? Basically, two of this animals are land animals and habitat is different where wolf is carnivor and pig is herbivor. Besides, wolf can live in cold temperature but pigs can't. So, my idea of merging this two living animals to see whether they can lives longer, and if we think logically, they can't stay longer. And that's my reason of why this two merging is a disaster.

Week 6: Poem?

Poem? Why we need to do poem? hahaha. Actually, It's a another activity where we are to use the images(object) and a word(subject) provided in the slide and create a poem out of it. So, in the first slide, he provide an image of chili(object) and related it with love[subject]
here's is my poem goes..

Loves to you is like a chili,
Everytime we meet, you make me think that you are the hottest person on earth
Everytime you call, we think about our spicy time together,
And the time that you told me I LOVE YOU, you really "burn" my heart away.

In the second slide, it about car[object] and life[subject] and this is how my poem goes:


Running a life is like starting the engine of a car,
The speed of a car is like a lifespan of a human exist,
When the headlight shine throughout us, it shows the future,
And when headlight dims, the darkest will take over the precious life
of a human.

And for the last poem, which we are allow to choose and a wallet filled with credit card as the object related either love or life and i choose Love as the subject.

so, this how my poem written:

Visa, Master Card, American Express,
Those are the name that remember always,
Everytime when we are facing problem on purchasing,
They always being ready in our wallet to be swap.

That about my very own creative poem and please to comment if my beloved friend visit it.

Till then.

WEEK 5: Juxtaposition Tuto!

Fuh! it's been a while after super packed of assignment. By the way, during the tutorial hours, Mr. Radzi give 2 collum of words where we are suppose to choose two words and draw to form an object. Here are the words that we are suppose to choose:

from here, we have to do three images of it. it can be anything. as for me, the three words that i choose are:

lightning spider [26], fire rock[52] and dog tree[77]

below are the images which i drew during the class.
after this activity, Mr Radzi told us to use the same words, BUT this time, the images that we are executing must be abstract[which is indirect]. so here's the images that i drew:

It was fun to execute our creative mind by doing this activity. so, comment or anything else, just click on the Comment box and throw out your thoughts!

Juxtaposition? Part 1

What is juxtaposition? Honestly, I haven’t heard of the word until I had a lesson about juxtaposition in the class. According to Oxford dictionary, juxtaposition means giving different idea or civilization tradition. As from the dictionary also, juxtaposition comes from a word, juxtapose, which means place people or thing sides by sides. As for me, juxtaposition means like getting two different objects , combining to one and bring the meaning based on the object. Here is picture of showing an example of juxtaposition.

As you can see on the picture, it is showing life and death in my point of view. Why did I say that? In the picture, they are red water splash on the solid water where the die can also entered in a person life. So, that’s what juxtaposition happened in the picture. In conclusion, juxtaposition is important in people life where we have to face two sides together to give a meaningful meaning out of it. Till then, I will send the tutorial based on the topic.

Week 4: Evil Me?

It was a fun tutorial classes after the lecture class. Mr. Halim told all of the class to do a mind map of our "evil side" So, this is my mind map of the evil me. Any comment, please do so.

Week 4: Peta Minda or Mind Map?

Peta minda or mind map? Hmm, basically, they are the same. Peta minda is mind map in Malaysia language. Talking about mind map, I had experience on doing it. I bet most of my class mate had the experience on doing it because during our foundation studies in MMU, there is design subject, Design Fundamental, we are trained to do mind map and I actually like it. It is because it really helps us especially designers for executing ideas on designing for a project for a client. Besides that, doing mind map given a large space to “scribble” anything from thoughts, drawing in a piece of paper. It is all thanks to the creator of mind map, Tony Buzon. According to him, the idea of mind map inspired by Alfred Korzybski's general semantics as popularized in most science fiction novel [source from Wikipedia.com]. Look at his one of mind map based on Tony Buzon’s theory .“Mind maps were developed in the late 60s by Tony Buzan as a way of helping students make notes that used only key words and images. They are much quicker to make, and because of their visual quality much easier to remember and review. The non-linear nature of mind maps makes it easy to link and cross-reference different elements of the map” [source from http://www.peterrussell.com/MindMaps/mindmap.php] I’m 100 percent agrees with the facts written on Peter Russell’s site. It is true that mind map helps us to remember or make short notes with keyword and related images. Based on my experience during Design Fundamental, Che Mad[who introduces mind map for Design Fundamental] advise us to be balance on doing the mind map or else it is going to be a boring mind map where nowadays human beings hated to read text and irritating colors. As I recalled, Mr. Halim had taught us that mind maps has two type which is, logical and non logical [non-linear]. From the article above, making non logical mind map makes easy link and cross-reference than logical mind map. Yes, that is true because during the class where Mr. Halim presented a logical mind map-map and it is linked align to the grid where it has no free space to scribble around and it tend to make me feel bored and confuse.Overall, doing mind mapping is a good start for us to remember facts and it is easily to do yet fun with playing with different color to avoid making us bored and loose interests on it. So, thanks again to Tony Buzon who invented creative mind map.
