the final mindmap

Random image association
while the logo we figure out is by a pen,
pen mean every student best friend,
but FCM not only pen is our best friend but included the pen family; pencil,
so inside our logo v sketch a pencil inside and some of effect to state the FCM's design.

metaphor: we compared FCM life style metaphorically with with things that give energy boost, food for the brain,and several other things that suggests that "a taste of FCM, is a step in the right direction.

Juxtaposition: we paired FCM listyle with many situations that students face on a daily basis this helped us see which things are not compatible with our vision and which ones really represent the concept of "a taste of fcm. The statement mean that the FCM student dairly is always start with pencil but the energy play a very important role.

week 7 Random Image Association

Today lecture give a question about Random Image association:














Is a kitty and question is use this image to make a warning sign to keep people away from the danger land within atom boom while long time non active, ok this is long...

At first I navigated about the kitty:
  • Although kitty is Cute but it born to hunt and trap enemy or we call "food".
  • Human respond in this century, because the land is free with toxic it wont have any life on that, so human will think the place is empty and will automatic not to step in.
  • some mean like the water pipe, if that water pipe won't grow grass inside mean that water is danger to drink.
  • Word Cute = empty; trap = danger













so in the end i draw a picture like this

week 5 undergoing

when mergers go wrong

this class was pretty interesting!its a continuation of the one based on juxtaposition. We were required to choose two completely different kinds of animals and turn them into one,to see how their offspring would look like in case of mating. My choice was of a bird and a fish.it is a good example to show how mergers go wrong;

1.the two animals do not stay in the same environment, therefore do not stand a chance of mating. because neither one of them can survive in the others habitat.

2.assuming that scientists can extract the bird and the fish's reproductive cells, and fertilize them in a lab.this will still fail, because these two are from totally different species therefore conception will not even take place because of the DNA issues.

week 4 Mind Map


Mind map
this helps to direct the ideas and thoughts into an organized format.

These are a few points i noted down of my darkside

week 3 Avatar

Novelty, Creativity, Innovation and Invention; by this week lecturer told me how to created a new idea list and publish it, the picture I upload it is a part of exercise that lecturer had given. This assignment is interview my partner and draw a personality imagination with each other, and my partner is a cute girl. Now as you can see she draw me a guy is fishing which the fish is inside the fish jar, mean my personality is patient, free and non-talkative, but the ridiculous part is that guy is fishing in fish jar! That's make sense, I think she though me is a guy that's always blur and make something "special" as doing awfulness works.

Outcast
Who are them?!! Yes! is Google Duo, Larry Page and Sergey Brin with their world's largest internet search engine, Google. For me, Google is my friend, I cant live without it of course the internet included, all the information, question and joy is magnification deeper over per day by day, friendly, buddy and a hug smile! but... I was finding many of the complain searching problem and advertisement's money sucker inside their own glory creation, is that's a glory one always betray their own master? or Google is no enough strong? however, Google is a part of my life that cant have without it...

Conclusion
What I learn this week is how to make an idea behind a stage while just looking at it, to convert the information to many kind of command and creativity idea, and again must similar with the topic and problem.

week 2 Novelty, Creativity, and Invention and Innovation

objective novelty - something that is new to a person or a group whereas others might already know that something.
eg. a foreigner who just learn how to say words in another language. he/she may be new to the experience, while the natives of that language had been knowing that all along. *daaah*

subjective novelty - something that is new to the whole mankind. no one has ever know of it.
eg. an invention or findings that is new to the human race as it was never been seen before.

invention - invention refers to new concepts or products that derive from individual’s ideas or from scientific research.

innovation and creativity- i have already discussed this in one of my first few blog entries .

(The picture in this post shows all these ideas at once! what a quick,creative,new and lethal way to wean a baby!! *evil grin* muahahaha!)

week 1 What is Creativity

i believe creativity is being able to turn something simple into something a lot more beautiful,or useful. The ability to manipulate situations or objects to suite the preference of the people involved. Well, that is just my own understanding, i could be wrong, or i could be right. To further clearify this topic, i will refer to Wikipedia, which defines creativity as thus:

"Creativity is a mental and social process involving the generation of new ideas or concepts, or new associations of the creative mind between existing ideas or concepts. Creativity is fueled by the process of either conscious or unconscious insight. An alternative conception of creativeness is that it is simply the act of making something new."

it is very clear that i had an idea of what creativity is all about,clearly because im an FCM student! *giggles*

anyway, If i was to name a person famous for his creative work, i would say "Leonardo da Vinci". he is famous for making "the mona lisa" and many other works of art.I have provided a link that leads to the "leonardo Home Page", which provides a rich background information about almost everything put in record about this legendary artist.

Enjoy!!!
