Analogy tips :)

I surfed some video before doin exercise about analogy, I found this video on youtube. The analogy exercise is about life, hmm I tried to connect some stuff related to life, anything can be related. I think:) and I hope this help..

Lateral thinking

Edward de Bono is regarded by many to be the leading authority in the world in the field of creative thinking and the direct teaching of thinking as a skill.

He invented the term lateral thinking in 1967. It was first written up in a book called "The Use of Lateral Thinking". For many years up till today, this has been acknowledged in the Oxford English Dictionary which is the final arbiter of the English Language.

Based on Edward's book, there are several ways of defining lateral thinking, ranging from the technical to the illustrative.

You cannot dig a hole in a different place by digging the same hole deeper

This means that trying harder in the same direction may not be as useful as changing direction. Effort in the same direction (approach) will not necessarily succeed.

Lateral Thinking is for changing concepts and perceptions

With logic you start out with certain ingredients just as in playing chess you start out with given pieces. But what are those pieces? In most real life situations the pieces are not given, we just assume they are there. We assume certain perceptions, certain concepts and certain boundaries. Lateral thinking is concerned not with playing with the existing pieces but with seeking to change those very pieces. Lateral thinking is concerned with the perception part of thinking. This is where we organise the external world into the pieces we can then 'process'.

The brain as a self-organising information system forms asymmetric patterns. In such systems there is a mathematical need for moving across patterns. The tools and processes of lateral thinking are designed to achieve such 'lateral' movement. The tools are based on an understanding of self-organising information systems.

This is a technical definition which depends on an understanding of self-organising information systems.

In any self-organising system there is a need to escape from a local optimum in order to move towards a more global optimum. The techniques of lateral thinking, such as provocation, are designed to help that change.

This is another technical definition. It is important because it also defines the mathematical need for creativity.

Juxtaposition Exercise

For this assignment, I picked some random number and the are:

73 = Dog & Wind
07 = Fly & Tree
52 = Fire & Rock

Dog...Wind...

The neighbor’s dog can cast a big wind through its mouth



then.. mixing them together

dog and wind




become "DOGWIND"






the next is Fly... Tree..

My cat run away and fly onto the top of the tree



then mixing them together...

Fly and Tree
as a "FLYTREE"




Last but not least is Fire...Rock..

Someone starts a fire and everyone try to extinguish it with a rock



mix them together as..

Fire and Rock

"FIREROCK"

Juxtaposition?

By definition in composition, the placing of verbal elements side by side, leaving it up to the reader to establish connections and impose a meaning.
These verbal elements (words, clauses, sentences) may be drawn from different sources and juxtaposed to form a literary collage.


So simply stated, juxtaposition means things side-by-side. In art this usually is done with the intention of bringing out a specific quality or creating an effect, particularly when two contrasting or opposing elements are used. for example "it is the result of the juxtaposition of contrasting colors", contrasting those 2 colors brings about some effect.... brings out some emotion, or recognition, etc.


There are many of good juxtaposition posters around, but this time I'm gonna share some of billboard juxtapositions that have been making companies and causes look dumb for years. here are some examples.

Logical Mind Map

Mind Mapping

Mind mapping, invented by Tony Buzan in the 1960s. Mind Map is a convenient graphical tool to help you think and learn by putting complex thoughts or interconnected ideas into two dimensions. Mind maps utilise words, images, numbers, logic, rhythm and spatial awareness in a uniquely powerful package. Consequently, mind mapping can be used to take lecture notes, plan an essay/dissertation/thesis, outline a presentation/seminar, revise a topic being studied, make notes from text books, summarise articles/chapters, organise one’s thoughts about any topic (whether academic/emotional/personal), etc.

There are three basic types of mind map, they are library map; Presentation map and; Tunnel timeline map.

A Library map is a collection of reference information for the purposes of

• transferring information and knowledge
• storing and recovering useful materials
• understanding or learning something

A Presentation map is a story or an argument, designed to

• Inform an audience in a directed fashion
• Argue a proposition or case
• Make a call to action

A Tunnel Timeline map is a map that is designed around delivering an outcome. The primary purpose of this kind of map is to visualise success. You are drawing a picture of what success looks like, and showing the actions on the path or paths to reach it. Use Tunnel Timelines for

• Project outlines and plans
• Strategies
• Problem solving

An Example of a Mind Map

Mind mapping tends to polarise people into two types: those who become very enthusiastic users and those who seem to hate it. It is probably reflective of how people think. The enthusiasts
are those who already think in a hierarchal and organised manner and need a device like this to organise and put down their thoughts on paper. For the non-enthusiasts, please give mind-mapping a try before giving up! and the best way to use mind map is with a pencil or pen and paper (A3 size).

Creativity is..

Creativity.. create an activity? creation infinity?

You can make your very own definition of creativity.. My point is 'Creative' has a lots of meaning and type. just like if you invent something which has never existed before or something which exists elsewhere but you are not aware of.. and then invent a new process for doing something. Re-apply the existing process or product into a new or different market, or maybe develop a new way of looking at something (bringing a new idea into existence) and change the way someone else looks at something..

It is 'Limitless' (just like the title of the movie limitless) but hey, guess what?
In fact, we are all creative every day because creativity does not have to be about developing something new to the world, it is more to do with developing something new to ourselves. When we change ourselves, the world changes with us, both in the way that the world is affected by our changed actions and in the changed way that we experience the world.

and because Creative is an ability, ability to imagine, ability to create.. just for example like art student.. they have the ability to imagine and the ability to visualize using drawing or software etc. Not of all people have that ability, some people have the ability to imagine, but not visualize and ask people who have the ability to visualize. The main point is and again we are all 'Creative'

There is a LOT of methods for being creative.. each of us can learn from each other, and then create our own pattern for being creative for people to recognize our work.

We don't have to eat 'Special pills' (inspired from 'LIMITLESS' movie) to get our brain 100% utilized and burst out the creativity.. practice to let all the ideas out and confident, just like the proverb.. Mistakes aren't fun, but they sure are educational. :)

Cheers
