Inspiration (8) - Creative Thinking and Idea Generation

I do not know how should I start this post, but it is roughly about my interest through out my life.
I love arts since I was small,  it is because I learned piano since I was 6 and I only stop for about half year due to SPM. Therefore, maybe I love music so much and it bring up my interest towards design and drawing. 

I do not have the chance to learn about design during primary and secondary school. I just have Pendidikan Seni subject during my school time.

After my SPM, I decided to take Graphic Design and Multimedia course instead of other design courses. I would like to take fashion or interior design at first, but it is not as advantage as graphic design. First reason is, it is a part of design. Second reason, it has the widest job field compared to other design courses, because a lots of field require graphic designer.

Recently, I saw a lots of photo of very nice dresses and wedding dress on facebook. In sudden, I fell in love with those dresses. I have not been wearing dresses for years as last time I was fat so I could not wear dresses.

I do not know how to express more now, so I straight away talk about the main point.

The main point is,  these dresses inspire me, inspire me to design dresses. I would not say I will give up on Graphic Design and Multimedia, is just that designing dresses will be part of my hobby from now on.

Now the fashion trend for dress is design with short infront, and long at the back, as example:

Besides evening or casual dresses, I also love to design wedding dress. I wish to design my own wedding dress for my own when I get marry.

I love simple and Elegant wedding gown <3

Favorite! 

If possible, I want to wear blue wedding gown, it is my favorite color!

I hope that this hobby would help in increasing my creativity and of course help me in my future, by letting whole world amazed with my design!

P/S : Sorry Miss that I could not fix my font, I did not know why it has shading behind words.

First Outdoor Photo Shooting For Photography Subject

Last Saturday, I went to Malacca for photo shooting trip organized by my photography subject lecturer, Miss Lee. Miss Lee told us about this plan during week 2 and whole class decided to have this trip on Saturday on week 7. A lots of us are quite exciting because that will be our very first time, going out in group of 60++ photography students.  


The main reason we had this trip is to let us capture our photos for next assignment. Miss Lee said that she wanted us to explore a new place instead of capturing photo nearby us only.
My next assignment for photography is " Picture Composition I & II". We need to capture all 11 photos, and choose the best 2 from each category.

1.    Lines: Horizontal, Vertical & Diagonal 2.    Shapes 3.    Patterns 4.    Symmetry 5.    Scale 6.    Letter box/panorama

7.    Frames within Frames 8.    Spirals 9.    Golden Ratio 10.  Triangles 11.  Rule of thirds

I have not capture all, but I have capture some of it. (Not sure if approved by tutor or not)

Took for fun

I am so lucky that when I try to capture some photo at Fort A' Famosa, a group of people was busying preparing for something. I saw a girl wearing wedding gown, and I roughly can expect that they are having photoshooting session. Thank God, it was true, and I got the chance to take this special moment!

At first, I was not so sure about what are Line, and Shape and Form. So I use my camera as my eyes, snap every thing that consist of the element. It was very hard to find at first by looking at the surrounding with only bare eyes, because the surrounding looked so normal, but after I used camera as my second eyes, I found that there are more thing to see when we see thru the camera. Our eyes have wide angle, but camera has frame, so it can crop out anything unwanted.
Therefore, I found the element "Line" on the staircase. If we use bare eyes to see, it will be an ordinary staircase, but if we use camera to "crop" it out, it will only have lines or element that you want.

For Shape and Form, I found that the wheels of a bicycle would be a good photo for shape because it can be an obvious circle.


Shape and Form



After this trip, I had realised that I have to fully utilise my camera, as my camera could help me to see this beautiful world, in different angle, different perspective, different view, and at the same time, enhance my creativity for photography.

What??!
Recently, I have saw 1 photo or news which surprise me. Well I knew other this kind of shocking news long time ago, but still not really believe it until recently I saw this photo from Facebook.

It is a news about a painting by Joan Miro sold for about $37.7 million Cdn!
The painting called Peinture (Etoile Bleue), and it was an abstract from his dream painting cycle. 
There is no explanation about what does this painting really means, just a simply abstract work from him.

Even great artist, Pablo Picasso's work - Homme Assis was only sold for $9.9 million.

This news / painting that I do not understand why really inspired me because I have always feel bad about my drawing and painting.

There are a lots of good students who always get grade A for their work in my class, and I get grade B. So there is always a stupid thought from me that: I would hardly survive in this society, because even in my class already have quite many good student, so there will be more out there. 

My semester 1 Drawing Artwork:

First Drawing Assignment 1 - Failed

Second Re-do Drawing Assignment 1 - Passed

Drawing Assignment 2 - Passed

All of this above are some of my best work during Drawing class for semester 1. The total grade I got was only B+, not even A-. A lot of them get A-, A and even A+. So I felt very disappointed and depressed.

Until recently, I get some inspiration about this matter. This is Art, not all people have the same judgement toward an artwork. A same artwork, some might feel it's a bad work but some might feel it's a great work.
I might feel my artworks are not good artwork, but now I believed that there will be someone out there that would appreciate my work. =)

So, I should keep my passion higher toward arts and do not give up because there are a lots of chances waiting for me outside!

Favorite

I am taking two subjects called Creative Thinking and Idea Generation and Creative Communication Design this semester, and I love this two subjects so much because it is a quite interesting subjects that need us to brainstorm for creative ideas for our assignments. This two subjects mostly teach us on how to develop good creative ideas, have a better idea for our assignments such as "Point-Of-Purchase" and "Children Storybook" which I am doing right now.


I love give stupid or creative ideas, design and do assignments that require you to DIY - Do it yourself. We need to do a mini mock-up for point-of-purchase assignment and that will be a challenge for me because I never do it before. Besides, me and my group need to design and create a "Children Storybook" too! I dislike those boring, dead, theory-based assignments, they are really killing me!

I hope that I will have this kind of interesting assignment for the next two studying years, so that I can enjoy my life without doing other boring assignments. Hope from this kind of assignment, I can improve my creativity,show the best in me and prepare myself in the sense of creativity before entering the real society out there!
