Random Word/ Image Association

Today we learned about an interesting topic in the class. Its about random word/image association. Mr. Radzi Bedu gave the lecture.Random association is an idea generation method which allow us to come up with new ideas through a fixed formula. We did an exercise in the class associated with this topic. It was fun. Its about solving a problem using keywords of an image. We were given a image of a cat and were asked to draw a scary image using the keywords that we can create through the image of the cat.

I hope that all the classes are as fun as this class. I prefer if lecturers involve us in the lecture. It makes class more interesting and fun. I would able to understand better this way than just reading the slides.

Juxtaposition

According to the lecture. Juxtaposition is placing two variable side by side and their contrast or similarity is shown through comparison. Many creative processes rely on juxtaposition. In literature and film, juxtaposition is the placing of two opposing character, ideas or objects side by side or in similar narratives for effect.
