RandOm of Being RanDOm :D

This topic now is Random words. Talk about random, how does it helps the creativity?? Haha i believe i already talk about random=creativity in the very first post again :) . Anyway, random words helps us from the stereotype thinking. Means? by using random word,we can think and view other things@ our environment from every different angle.

In the class, i learn that ;

- Random = using the simplest idea you can get
-some quotes that i learned  "every one of us have our own carrots"
  

and the question here is "how do we get away from the carrot?"

one word ... RANDOM

by combining the random word + problem together , we can solve the matters in most creative ways :D
BUT !!!!

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT DO NOT COMBINE THE RANDOM WORD + PROBLEMS TOGETHER because that will not solve anything. Trust me, you go nowhere by doing like that :)

so the exercises for now is "Illustrate your idea on the scary image or object"


Random word KITTEN=Scary

                                        ( Tell me how do you want to make this thing look scary?? =.= )



and after some random sketches on some papers i come up with this ;



Association :

1 ) GROWL : (Kittens growl don't they)
                      - make a fearful or eerie sounds to scare or warns the visitors

                   Make a large BLACK HON or SIREN !

Actually what i'm trying to imply here is we use the random word to solve the problem and yet do not involve or include the random word/thing in the problems. This is the best explaination that i can give, haha well i'm not very good with words also.

Random Pictures

These are the random pictures that during the exercises in Creative studies classes ,


weird word + weird pictures = creative ( XD very helpful to avoid the stereotype thinking)










Most of the words combine is the word LIGHTNING + MOUNTAIN :D

Jux-Ta-Position Desu ~ :D

Juxtaposition?? what does it mean by the word?? Well, the stereotype answer (duh~ always) Juxtapositon is A placing or being placed in nearness or contiguity, or side by side; as a juxtaposition of words....    


To make it simple , it is like this ;


cute = cat , chilli = hot :D


well, if you still don't understand hurm........ i'm not very good with words... how should i explain this.... well i guess i just have to use the poem/statement to explain it (although i'm not very good with it,especially if want to talk about love =.=)


Okay, i choose the random word coffee = love

Love is like a drinking a coffee 
Some people love it , some people don't
Why is it so? Cause at first taste, it is bitter and black too =.=
 
The same goes for love , 
Love can be sweet but at the same time it can be bitter ,
It depends on the individual , to be hurt or not to be hurt ,
But for those who give up on the first try, they will never taste
the greatness and the wonderful of the coffee, And yet
For those who stays,they will get an unexplainable feeling and joy..
which those who giving up can't get..


So.... The sweetness of LOVE can only be tasted when 
You're not giving up .... Hang in there and Happiness is stored for you :)



Lesung Batu @ Mortar and Pestle

Whenever we talk about mortar and pestle or in Bahasa Melayu we call it "Lesung Batu" , people who is a stereotype thinkers ( usually ) will only thinks "oh,this is the kitchen thingy" or "Lesung Batu is only used for the kitchen". Do you know what mortar and pestle is???? Well, for those who don't know you guys can refer the image below :)
                                             Ta da ~~~~~~~~ (this is how mortar and pestle look like usually)

So,as a creative students ..... (eventhough that i'm not that creative)  we have to think of these things in an unusual ways of using it . In this activiry, we used the mind mapping method.XD

well,with some randoms words popping out during the ideation process, i come up with these three ideas that i like :D

 1st . Spirit Worship Thing : Well, this idea of mine tells I'm sure way in thefuture,future,future,future..Mortar and pestle will become a historic thing (well kinda ) SO ~ with these weird looking stuff , they will thought that these thing had some kind of spirits dwells in it.When they believe there's a spirit,they will worship these mortar and pestle to help their lifes such as money problems. They will worship it and asked for things like 4D numbers to get rich fast. (TOTO,Magnum)

2nd . Soul Mate Finder : This is a funny one. Well, since these mortar and pestle is a historic thing (yeah right)The people in  the future will use it as a soulmate finder due to its "so called old spirit".If the girl got many marriage proposal at the same time, the girl will use the pestle to choose her partner,so all the candidates put their mortar on the table and if the girl combine her pestle with the chosen mortar,the chosen one is the one that will be the girl's husband.

3rd . Curse things (voodoo) : Well, for this idea, the user will use the mortar and pestle to curse someone. The user will have to put the pictures or images of someone he/she wants to curse into the mortar and the curse will begin when the user start hitting the images/pictures using the pestle. It is believe that the harder the hit/crush , the stronger and effective it is the curse to make the cursed person suffer





So tara ~~~~ that is the 3 final ideas that i came up with ! Strange enough right? ^^
