♠ Week 5 - Logical Mind Map and Associated Mind Map

This week, our lecturer Mr.Radzi had give us a talk about logical mind map and associated mind map. During the class, Mr.Radzi use mortal and pestle as and example on how to related it with both of the mind map.

Logical Mind Map

Using a logical mind map, we will only get a stereotype outcome. As we can see, since we think from a stereotype way, definitely we will only get a stereotypical kind of mind map. Everything will be think base on logically, it lack of the sense of creativity in it. If you want to have creative mind map, logical mind map sure cant help you on that sense of creativity. Let's take mortal and pestle as our example, you might get an outcome like mortal and pestle is use for making herb out.

Associated Mind Map

This will definitely suite for those people who want to get creative idea. Associated mind map will definitely give you what you want, it doesn't need a logical type of thinking, all you need to do is elaborated your idea out and diverged it into different outcome. Don't feel hesitate to write out your idea, who know maybe it will work even though it not a stereotype of outcome, but it works. Now we take mortal and pestle as our example again, we use mortal and pestle to replace the ring during the wedding ceremony.

Therefore, if you want to get a creative way of thinking you can use associated mind map, it depends on you yourself, whether you can elaborated your idea well or not.

♠ Week 4 - Mind Map of Myself

MIND MAD OF MYSELF

The content is about myself, family, education and my ambitious.

A simple description for myself. Using different colour tone to differentiate them, some picture are added for easy understanding.

♠ Week 4 - Divergent and Convergent Thinking

People who have divergent thinking can play with the problem and think for several alternatives way. It's important to know what problem u facing, in order to solve it, you need to play with it, take all the possibilities and expand your thinking in different way, therefore you will get different solution for it.

Unlike convergent thinking, people will only gather all the information and possibilities and come out with one solution. Mostly scientific thinking people will do so, or some traditional thinking people will have it, they don't dare to explore more, stick with one specific thinking and therefore they might only get with one solution.

I believe that a creative person will need to think with several alternatives solution whenever they have to solve a problem. I'm not saying that convergent thinking is not a good thinking way, it might solve the problem, but why not think of several alternatives way, who know it might come out with a good impact of all.

♠ Week 3 - Coco Chanel

Coco Chanel was a visionary French fashion designer, style arbiter and iconic fashion figure.
She have left a lot of famous work before she left the world, one of it was "little black dress".

Chanel encouraged women to infuse classic elements, bold accessories and simple dress shapes to build a functional, yet elegant wardrobe. She even introduce menswear-inspired pieces that can be mixed twith casual chic into women's vocabularied and closets worldwide. Due to her designs, she have totally bring out a new concept of womenswear.

I believe that as a designer, he or she must be brave to think and take a brave step that normal people wouldn't do. Chanel dare to create women's wearing with menswear-inspired, and be able to create something new to everyone.

"Those who create are rare; those who cannot are numerous. Therefore, the latter are stronger."

♠ Week 3 - Novelty, Creativity, Innovation and Invention

Instead of reading the slide that provide by lecturer, I have to find some related definition from the internet to study more on it. Since i'm not really understand on this topic.

Novelty define the quality of being new and it is essentially exists in the subjective perceptions of individuals. (*source-wikipedia)

For my understanding, novelty are usually define as something is being new by a person.

Creativity is a mental process involving the generation of new ideas or concepts, or new associations between existing ideas or concepts.

Innovation is the act of introducing something new. It can be new idea or new device.

Invention is the act or process of inventing. Invention is a new method, device or process that can be use for some specific purpose.

♠ Week 2 - casandra

Casandra, my kiddo looking friend. She's now majoring in Film and Animation.

Casandra, a bubbly girl. She is a very lively and cheerful person, she never tend to hide herself, she dare to talk and show herself out. I do found out she's a good story teller, she can create her own story very well. Therefore, she is now studying in FA.

I choose this picture because it's give me a feel that she is a cheerful person, even a simple smile can show you there is nothing is hide inside her. Everything is express through face, simple and nice. =)

♠ Week 2 - Creativity

During my advertising design class, the lecturer in my class have show us a slide about creativity. It's said that creativity is a mental process involving the generation of new ideas or concepts, or new associations between existing ideas or concepts. I do agree with that, we always hope to see something new or something extra-ordinary than what it's existing now. Therefore, we need to think creatively in order not to be left out.

We must have the ability to solve a problem, therefore a new idea or concepts will be needed. A creative person will think something that normal people can't get to think. I'm not saying that a creative person is insane, what I impress on them is they dare to think dare to try dare to explorer. Therefore, they get to find out the suitable solution or idea that impress people.

Observation, study, practice and play are the essential elements of creative growth. This is truth, without all these you can't get your idea or concepts with just sitting on there and think nothing.
