Week 7 - Analogical Thinking

                                                 Classroom Exercise 1

This is a tree which is near by my school. When I first saw it, it reminded me of the coat hanger. I think the coat hanger is very convenient. When we go home and want to take off the coat and bag of something else, just put them on the coat hanger. It is a very good product in nowadays.

                                         Classroom Exercise 2

Identify 3 existing products to discover relationships to other objects and images. Preferably seeking example where a modest source has influenced the form of a luxurious target and vice versa.

This is a picture about a tree trunk and the other picture is a bookshelf which is based on the shape of tree trunk. It's creativity and useful.

These are two pictures which are the egg and sofa. As you can see, the egg sofa is based on the shape of the real egg. It's quite interesting design.

This is a doorknob which the shape is a human's hand. It's a funny design.

Field Trip

A few weeks ago, we visited National Museum of Singapore. Below are three pictures I took in the museum. I will give them a human characteristic for each one.

- She is sitting and looks very quite.

- It is plate and it looks happy because it puts its "hands" up.

- It is a gramophone and it looks curious.

WEEK 10 - Force Connection 2

These are five items that I took out from my classmate's bag which are lip balm, mirror, key, credit card, wet tissue. I will tell you a story about them.

Lip balm is a girl who wants to be a lip stick. Everyday she wakes up and looks at the mirror and think why I am not a lip stick, I also want to be a lip stick to have those beautiful colors rather than using the wet tissue to keep wet everyday. One day, she went home but she found she lost her key so she had to wait for her roommate came back and opened the door for her. She felt very boring then she went to a coffee shop and ordered a cup of coffee to wait for her roommate came back. She was sitting and looked at the outside through a window. She saw many lipsticks were walking on the street. They looked so pretty and confidence. She looked at her white body and felt very frustrated. After fifteen minutes, her roommate called her and told her she had reached. Then she wanted to pay the money for the bill but she found her cash was not enough and she forgot to bring the credit card. She was very embarrassed and flurried. At this time, a lip stick gentleman realized that this lady needed help. Then took out his credit card and passed to the waiter and told him use his. Lip balm was grateful to him and wanted to treated him next time so they left their contact numbers. After that time, they found they had a lot of common interests and they all felt very comfortable and happy when stayed with each other. They found they fall in love with each other. Then they decided to get married and after a few years they had a baby: lip glaze.
