Final Design

This is our interpretation of evolution of experience in creative Multimedia.



And this is our final Artwork


the 4 Parts Represent the Levels/Stage in Creative Multimedia,
and as you notice, as the level gets higher, the TV gets more and more modern.

Sketches for Evolution of Experience

This is our Sketches for the Design Concept of Evolution of Experience


And This is our Final Sketches, the one that we're going to use.
More explanation in the next Post

Evolution of Experience in Creative Multimedia Essay

We all know that FCM, or Faculty of Creative Multimedia, offer a unique and different set of syllabus, in fact, from our point of view, FCM student’s really stands out from the rest of the student in Multimedia University. Why you might ask? Because FCM is the only faculty in Multimedia University that require it’s student to be creative, hence the name Faculty of Creative Multimedia. FCM offers a wide range of major, such as Film & Animation, Media Innovation, Virtual Reality, Interface Design, and Digital Media. All of these Majors is requires its student to have a taste in art, which makes FCM a bit similar to Art School, but in FCM, we concentrate more on how to make art in this modern world, because art is everywhere, in your television, on the internet, magazines, and many other examples. Going through FCM really gives a lot of experience, and not only from the faculty, but also from the surrounding environment, you will learn a lot of things by going through FCM, for example, you will change your browsing routine from Facebook, Myspace, and other social networking site to let’s say, deviant art, the Flash website award, Ads of the world, and that’s only your browsing routine, imagine what it could do to your life.

People say that experience is the best teacher in our life. It can teach us everything and actually it is the best lesson we can get in our life. In creative multimedia there are a lot of experiences that we can get from around it. From school, course, work, home, even in our individual time. For example, a design student he will get his own experience in his learning process. At that moment he will learn how to make something good from only a simple thing or make something useful from recycle things. They will get experience how to make something that can attract people to look at his/her artworks. They trained how to make good compositions, colors balance, simple, nice, not much, and can attract people to see it. Usually the design’s lecturers will give lots of assignments to make their student getting used to it and make each day their students getting better on doing his/ her works. Experience can make the big impact for somebody even into the world. It can change our life. For the example like following some contest, some people does not care whether they won or lose it, the important thing is they get the experience. Study and work are also the way to get new experiences and the most important things from all of that is the invention of new things or we can call it innovation. We can get a lot of experience from work. In this circle we will feel the real situation how the designer works. There are a lot of experiences that we can get. In cinematography we can be a director who makes a story of the film, or being a design graphic who designing something that can attract people and many more of example that we can get from work’s circle.

From the ancient times until now we have seen many innovations especially in the technology. Media is one of the things that have been widely developed over the advancement of technology. For the first time, the people from the ancient times use the nature things as the media to communicate, express their feeling, and share their respect for their ancestors and the culture. They start to make sculpture from the stone and painting on the cave wall. Year over year change, people try to paint on something that made from the clay. From this activity, we also can make it into craft and then sell it. From that time people found canvas as the media to share all the things that they want to share. After that people found the big invention and become the innovation to the world which is the computer. Computer can make all the things become easier, it helps the people do their work because with computer we can do it digitally. We also can communicate and share information with all the people around the world if we connected it to the internet. Radio is also the media to communicate, but nowadays it had lost the popularity because all the people prefer the television rather than radio because the television in an audio visual media while radio is just a visual media.


So with our creativity towards multimedia from time to time, we will find many experience which bring us to a level which is easier in our learning process. For the first time, the people from the ancient times use the nature things as the media to communicate, express their feeling. But now? With our creativity, we can communicate through internet which make major changes in the history of communication. We have new ideas, we invent things that can make the big impact for somebody even into the world. It can change our life for the future.

This is our Logical Mindmap of Creative Multimedia



From this mindmap, we have chosen "Experience" for our detailed Mindmap


From this we have our design concept, which is

Juxtaposition.. lesson 2



this is what i come up with for "mergers gone wrong"

it's a combination of bird, and fish, with fish as it's head and bird as it's body.


and here are the other who didn't quite make it..

the top one is a combination of t-rex and chicken..

the bottom one is a combination of butterfly and fish..

and for the random word images, the first task is to create a sentence about love from the picture of a chili..

here's what i come up with..

"love is like a chili, sometimes it could make you cry, but you would want it again"

or something like that..

and the other task is to create a sentence about woman from a picture of mortar and pestle

here's what i come up with

"Being with a woman is like being in a mortar and pestle, no matter how hard your heart is, she'll soften it up sooner or later"

in class exercise!

so this is what i've deen doing in class..
last tuesday was a lesson in juxtaposition, so this is what we've created




brief explanation :

so there are 2 sets of words, each sets contain 10 word, and we have to number the words according to the instruction.

then we have to choose 3 numbers, mine was 22, 64, and 91

then based on the number and the words, you'll get 2 words.

my words are

22. lightning rock
64. duck mountain
91. leave water


and afterward, you have to create a sentence that contain the 2 wo rds

mine was :

22. "no lightning can destroy rock"
64. "there's a duck on to
p of the mountain"
91. "4 leaves will cut you water fountain"


then we have to draw a picture that describe the word.

you can see mine on the image above, but sorry for the scan quality..

after this, we have to create an image that describe the words..
but it has to be only an image

such as this one



Lightning Rock



Duck Mountain

Leave Water

iamnotanartist

lookie!


i found this really cool GIF that tells us about the non-stop designer work





pretty cool eh?

and there's at least 50 more on this website

http://www.imnotanartist.org/index.php

check it out!






creative ambient ads

i found this ads from the internet,




i really like this ad, because if the sun isn't there, then the writing doesn't make sense at all, but when the sun is up, you can read the shadows, which said

"take a break from the sun"


it would be funnier if it said

"if you can read this, then u need a break from the sun"


but i imagine that this would need more space

anyway this is actually an ad for "Peter MacCallum Cancer Center"

so 2 thumbs up!

Logical Mind Map

mind mapping is pouring your thought into a piece of paper, it might sound similar to brainstorming, but mind mapping is different, because you have to put a connection between everything that you write/draw and the main concept / topic that you are mind mapping about. here's an example of what i mean by "connection"




every word have to have a connection, so it's not just a paper filled with your writing or drawing. by doing this, your force your brain to think what other connetion can be put into the center topic. this is a great way to generate ideas and by doing this it is possible to think up an idea that you may not found before. there are 2 ways of craeting a mind map, which are
LOGICAL MIND MAP TECHNIQUE
and ASSOCIATED MIND MAP TECHNIQUE

Logical Mind Map is directly connected to stereotypes. The Logical mind map comprises of solely stereotype words. Which means that every word or image that is put within the mind map is directly related to the central subject through its links.


Associated Mind Map
is using an associated mind map we are able to generate random words and also show the links between words that seemingly have no connection.

the main difference is when we use the Logical mindmap, we use word that are connected stereotypically with the topic, meanwhile we use a more random words for the associated mindmap.

Novelty, Creativity, Invention, Innovation

so here's 4 word that are connected to each other.

but first, here's my definition of each of the word

Creativity : it's on my older post, please read it there..

Novelty means something new or unusual (based on merriam-webster)

Invention is the process of producing or finding

Innovation is the introduction of something new


and here's the connection

by thinking creatively, you'll find some new ideas or thought (novelty) and from that thought, you create something, and you have an invention, which will lead to innovation because you'll have to introduce that ideas to the public.


creativity is the foundation of invention, innovation, and novelty.

and the example is all around us,
the easiest is the ipod.

newer ipod is always being introduced to the public, until the create an even greater gadget, such the the iphone and the ipad, and who knows what will they introduce next? (except for people working at the apple company)

Defining Creativity

What is creativity?

in my opinion, creativity is the ability to create.
but this does not mean that creative people is able to make a pen out of nothing, no that would be magic, or maybe even godly power. what i mean by "the ability to create" is making a new thing, like the invention of door. yes door.

i think that door is a great idea, even though it is just a piece of wood, it gives you security, it limits your view, it's like a barrier or a shield from the "outside", and yet it is just a piece of wood (or steel, or maybe even glass). and you can go in and out through it, and if you don't want people to go in or out, you can just lock it.

this is what i mean by creative, the inventor of doors does not make door out of thin air, he uses a simple, everyday material and use it as a barrier, thus he "create" a door.

this is what i mean by creative, the ability to create something out of existing material, or even a new material.

and that is my definition of creativity, the ability to create.
