Finale.

Hello there. So week eleven marks the last week of creative thinking (i think?) and the last lesson was just bits and snippets of what we have gone through for the past three months. It didn't feel like three months honestly but we made it through. Some mates say that creative thinking isn't an important class and all but you know, it actually is quite interesting. When i was in Lasalle, we had a similar class but there, it was called Grey Matters and we had a visual A5 journal to record our weekly classes and experiences. So it's quite an interesting transition to use blogs and since i'm already a blogger, makes it a bit more easier. Assesment is next week and if you can see up there, it's actually my juxtaposition model for 3D and i must say i'm quite happy with how it turned out and i never thought i could actually make it in 3D. I'm more of a drawing/ painting it out than a create it person. And also some of my plane models from previous assignment so let's keep our fingers crossed for assesment. I guess it's till here and let me end it with a haiku, as usual;

Nothing else matters

If the sun were to tell moon
They should be a whole.

Magneto magnato.

Hey there. I usually begin or end with a haiku for my posts (well most of the time at least) but this time, we had to opportunity to explore magnetic poetry kit online which is a very fun game of making up stories or poems or basically anything, with given words. So I made all three haikus and i have no idea why they all turn very sexual. Read it and see for yourself.

This first haiku titled: Mid-day.

Second haiku titled: Sugar.

And the third one titled: Public.

Don't they sound sexual? It's like a bad sequel to the fifty shades trilogy. Inspiration of haiku for me started from Tyler Knott Gregson, a famous poet who does a lot of haiku. He already has his own book published and i am definitely getting it soon. Here are some examples of poems by Tyler KNott Gregson. Check it out below. Well i'll leave it at that then.

Shahirshaj-

Emotion commotion potions.

Hey there. So what is up with computer mouses and feelings? I'll tell you. Our work the previous week was to convey emotions through objects, by illustrating them. And me and my buddy Hafizah got computer mouse. How do we do that? Well, here are our illustrations: (there are six emotions; sad, hardworking, creative, brave, passionate and greedy)

Let's go through them with details shall we?

So the greedy mouse wants all the functions to itself. To have back up batter in case wire doesn't work, and if battery and wire dies, there is wireless USB to back them up. Too full of itself don't you think?

We also had to do some research to see if any of our illustrations are actually existent products. As for passionate, it's a mouse with many buttons for convenience (Hafizah had a similar mouse form the same brand but a little different in terms of functions). Very passionate about its job as a mouse (the normal misconception of passionate only being about love but not in this case). So there is actually a mouse with many buttons. It is a gaming mouse and the buttons are located all at one side of the mouse for gaming convenience.

As for the creative mouse, we had the mouse be shaped in a form of another animal, or insect rather, a bee. And believe it or not, there is a mouse that is shaped like a real mouse and i for one would not use it because i love mice and have owned them as pets so that is actually not a nice sight.

The sad computer mouse, basically has its trackball out of its system and what is a mouse without its trackball? Does it even function? (Let's put aside the fact that there are laser mouses available in this era)

As for the brave mouse, if you can see, is actually smaller than the other three intimidating mouses beside it and yet, it still wants to stand tall and work despite its disadvantage being small. Brave mouse indeed!

And last not but least, the hardworking mouse, which also acts as a touch keyboard, laser powered. I found a similar concept though not laser powered, it is actually a keyboard and mouse combo, made by Lenovo. The objective of this convenient keyboard and mouse combo is not very clear, whether for gaming or artsy softwares but it is pretty cool. It had a wireless trackball with right and left click all built-in, and of course the keyboard all in one.

I would say almost all the examples could have fit each other well, depending on how you elaborate the illustration. Definitely a worthy exercise of the mind and creativity. Who knew some of the illustration actually exists in real life? And i've realized that for some, we think productivity-wise and some, we actually concentrate on the emotions more itself. Either way, it's a win-win situation. Well, till the next.
