Week 10 - Force Connection 1

These are the drawings of what my group and i did in class for this week's class. We chose 2 items, 'cup' and 'clock'. From the items, we linked it to different adjectives and then create a new design/item.

This week in class we talked about force connection. From my understanding, it is how our brain works to link two different items such as words, objects, feelings and ideas into one. It is how people create new ideas by applying two or more items into one. Basically on how to improve an item and make it even more reliable.

This is a baby cradle and it has a toys attached to it. Instead of just the cradle itself, the creators implemented an idea to attach the toys for the babies to get distracted.

This is a 2-in-1 exercising machine as there is a stepper and a stationery bike. It will not take as much space.

This is a ladder with wheels attached to it. To make it easier and more convenient to bring it around.

This a bicycle with a shape of a horse which makes the bicycle look interesting and unique. Maybe it is to make the cyclist feel like he is riding a horse but actually he is cycling.

This is a blender and a juice mixer put together.

Whisk and blender in one item. How convenient!

Week 9

Class was cancelled this week because of Hari Raya Haji. So i shall share some of my 3D fundamental work.

These are my wire models. That consist of 3 lines which is the dominant, sub-dominant and subordinate lines.

Here is my repetition model which made of triangles and wires. Also hot glue gun (which burnt my hand and it hurts a lot)

Week 8 - Analogical thinking 2

We did not do much this week as our lecturer only went through every student's e-journal and made some reviews. We also shared our different photos of 10 inanimate objects with human characteristics. I'm amazed at how different people see objects differently. Most of my classmates have different ideas and perspectives on the faces. I think that it is honestly an interesting activity.

Week 7 - Homework Exercise 3

Inanimate objects with human characteristics

Pouting face

Shocked face

Cat face

"Oops I'm in trouble" face

Cheeky face with thick lips (Lips is the two rectangle bars above 'over load'"

Shocked face with twitching eye

Duck face 

Astonished face

Shocked face

The bus shows a tired face

Week 7 - Analogical Thinking (Exercise 1 & 2)

                                    

Analogical thinking is using information from a domain, which is the source to solve a problem in another domain which i the target. Analogies is used during the process of problem solving. Analogies have been involved in many scientific discoveries. It is basically any type of thinking that relies upon an analogy. Which is shown on the first photo. 

The second and third photo shows the comparison of two objects. The mouse clicker that is used for computers is compared to a real mouse. While a car is compared to a man's face. Just because the objects somehow look alike. 

Exercise 1

Most of the items that are from my familiar environment are made from natural resources like wood. From wood, people uses analogical thinking to create something else. Here are some examples,

Cupboard/Wardrobe

Wood flooring

Bird cage

Exercise 2

3 existing products are flowers, feathers and wood. I notice that most of the sources of creating a product or an item is by nature. Nature plays a huge role in this.

As for flowers there are a lot of things that are inspired by flowers for example,

Flowers table

Flower lamp

Flower purse

Feathers can also be inspired into making items like,

Duster

Accesories

Writing instrument 

Lastly will be wood, these are a few table designs made from wood

These are examples of branches being made into tables.

And also pencil holders that are a shape of an elephant but made of wood.

Week 6

Class was cancelled on week 6 hence, i shall talk about how much i enjoy taking photos and travelling.

I really love getaways. I enjoy being away from home for a few days. I could leave all my problems and worries behind for that period of time & feel.. free. I love traveling to new places and observing people. It just makes me genuinely happy. Travelling allows me to explore and learn more things. It also takes me to beautiful places and i will get lost in my own thoughts. Here are a few photos i took while i was away getting lost and feeling free. 

 These four photos are taken at Colmar Tropical and i love how there are so much greens. It makes my photos look really calm and relaxing. 

 These are casual photos i snap every time. Food, photos of food is a must!! 

 Caught the sunset by the beach in Port Dickson and this photo does not bring any justice to how breath taking the view was. It was so beautiful no words could describe this kind of beauty.

Took a few photos of the low tide during sunset. It was a rather cloudy and gloomy day as you can see from the dark clouds. (Also, my sister took a photo of me in action hehe)

These last two are taken on my spontaneous trip. It was a rather last minute plan. Oh how much i love  being spontaneous.
