Lesson 7 Random Word / Image Association

An idea generation method which allows students to systematically generate new ideas through a fixed formula. The whole premise of Random Association is to use a Random Word to provoke a reaction from the brain.


When to use it???

Use it to stimulate open and divergent thinking and seek creative new ideas.

Use it to re-ignite creative thinking when you are running out of ideas.

Use it to get people out of a rut when their thinking is still rather conventional.

How to use it???

1. Find a random word

Find a random word that will be used as a stimulus for new ideas. You can do this in a number of ways, including:

• Look around you. What can you see? Can you see any words? What about things? What else is happening?
• Open a book at a random page. Run your finger around the page and stop at a random point. Look for a suitable word near your finger.
• Ask the people you are with to give you a random word.
• Select a word from a prepared list of evocative words (fire, child, brick, sausage, etc.)

Good random words are (a) evocative and (b) nothing to do with the problem being considered. Ambiguity also helps. Nouns are usually best, but verbs and adjectives can also be used effectively.

2. Find associations

Think about other things about which the word reminds you. Follow associations to see where they go. Think openly: associations can be vague and tenuous (this is creativity, not an exam!).

When working with a group of people, you can write these down on a flipchart as people call them out. It can be useful (but not necessary) to leave a space after each associate for use in stage 3.

3. Use the associations to create new ideas

Now create new ideas by linking any of the associations with your problem. Again, the linkage can be as vague as you like: what you want is ideas!

Write the ideas either next to their associations from step 2 or on a separate page.

If other people give ideas that trigger further ideas from you, then you can go off down that route to see where it goes.

As a variant, you can do stages 2 and 3 together, finding an association and an immediate idea from this.

How it works???
Random Words works in particular by making you go elsewhere for ideas, and hence pushes you out of your current thinking rut. It uses the principle of forced association to make you think in new ways and create very different ideas.

How Merges Go Wrong

With two different animals that combine and merges together with their characteristic to make an new animal that does not see it before.

Example:

SKETCH:

Analogy

Create a passage/writing that describe the concept of “Love”

Love is like a chili,

it may bring warm,

and also be hot.

Chili sometime give blessing,

those who are appreciate.

Create a passage/writing that describe the concept of “Love or Pain”

Honey, Come a little closer,
let me whisper in your ear.
So that no one else will hear.
Just want to say I LOVE YOU. 

Create a passage/writing that describe the concept of “Man or Woman”

Man is mortar, woman is pestle.

Man is powerful, woman is gentle.

Man will protect woman,

woman will supporting man.

Man and woman live each other,

and help each other.

Week 6 Task

This week, we had given some task about juxtaposition.

Step 1: choose 3 pair of number from 00 - 99. (13,52,73)


Step 2: combine the word show as below together according the number that had choose

Flower & Wind

Fire & Rock

Dog & Wind

Step 3: create a sentences using those word

             1. The flower is blow by the wind.

             2. The fire burn on the rock.

             3. The dog fur is blow by the wind.

Step 4: draw an image from the sentences represent.

Step 5: draw an direct image from the combination of the word meant.

    

Lesson 5 & 6 Juxtaposition

-defined as placing two variable side by side and their contrast or similarity are shown through comparison.
-using ' turning ' something familiar to something less familiar or vice-versa.

Example:

                    (unfamiliar)  

            (familiar)

Metaphor: Is a figure of speech in which 2 different things are linked by some similarity.

          

                   Example: Life is a box of chocolate, you will never know what you will get!

Similes: using as/like.

              Example: Life is like a maze in which you try to avoid the exit.

Categories of Analogies:

1. Logical Analogies 

    Which use similarities subject in the design, structure or function of to connect back to the subject.

2. Affective Analogies

    The emotional resemblance. The clearest example is the use of an animal to explain a certain characteristic                

    of a person. 

      Love is like riding a rollercoaster….

       There are ups and downs in a rollercoaster ride, just like 

       love if we get through the ride we might just return for 

       another !!

Lesson 3 & 4 Mind Mapping

Mind mapping, introduced by Tony Buzan. A creative Mind Map is able to stimulate and create interest to the individual and also to the viewer.

Method Creative Thinking: Logical and Associated mind map Technique
-Logical Mind Map
 directly connected to stereotypes.
-Associated Mind Map
 able to generate random words and also how the links between words.
-Logical Mind Maps & Stereotypes
 have to understand what a stereotype is.

Definitions of Stereotype

1. A conventional, formulaic, and oversimplified conception, opinion, or image.
2. One that is regarded as embodying or conforming to a set image or type.
3. Printing. A metal printing plate cast from a matrix molded from a raised printing surface, such as type.

Example: Logical Mind Map

Rules of Logical Mind Mapping

• Always have your SUBJECT in the center of the page.
• Make the subject more dominant.
• Decide on the main categories.
• Try to have different categories.
• Try to use drawing or images to more interesting.
• Idea should be shaped like the roots of a tree.
• It is OK to repeat words or even interlink certain words.

Benefit of Logical Mind Mapping Technique

• It is concise way of listening and categorizing a mass of information.
• The word will help trigger memories and reduce the amount of note taking.
• More interesting. 

Bill Gates’ 11 Advices for young people

Bill Gates is famous person in the world. He was excellent software engineer & businessman. To anyone with children of any age, or anyone who has ever been a child, here is some advice about 11 things you did not and will not learn in school. These “rules” are worthwhile reading for anyone, and does seem to hit-the-nail-on-the-head with these observations.

Rule 1: Life is not fair – get used to it!


Rule 2: The world won’t care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.


Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won’t be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.


Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.


Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping — they called it opportunity.


Rule 6: If you mess up, it’s not your parents’ fault, so don’t whine about your mistakes, learn from them.


Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren’t as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent’s generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.


Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools they have abolished failing grades and they’ll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn’t bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.


Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don’t get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.


Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.


Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you’ll end up working for one.
I loved the last rule ” chances are you’ll end up working for one” but before you build your company you need to have enough necessary knowledge to manage it.
