Juxtaposition is the act of positioning close together (or side by side). It was about put together two words side by side and have to visualize on piece of paper. It’s fun because this activity can make creative thinking of the student in term of visualizing the two words.
These what I got from Internet. The image does shown the two position side by side plus it is different from another side. That was called Juxtaposition. First image shown the face have clear face by right side and left side its burn. So, this is two position with different things. Second image shown the body looks like angel but the wing and face like evil. I notice this when the background have peaceful cloud (white cloud) and bright.
The assignment was to create a mind map of yourself "About Me". With the example given in class, I knew how to do the mind map. Its not easy because we must have creativity before the next step. How to make the mind map looks interesting. Its all about creativity. Now I do the mind map about myself. I realize its little bit hard but its nice.
I have 9 things "about me". There is my ambition, drawing, my parents, playing what things, education, my love music, what i like, and when i have free time. These all of part of my life usually. I use this as my goal to achieve so as well I can reach these thing, I can be a perfect one.
Life is not easier I thought. It possible to me down in my own life. So these thing is important part of my part life.
In this mind map "about me". You can see many things that I have but not at all. I draw such the important thing so that can be know as my daily life. I add some sketch so that make it fill the space and interesting. Just simple one, I dont want to make it details and such more theme. Just simple and clear to see this one.
Definition: Mind maps are brainstorming diagrams based on a central idea or image, typically used to aid in organisation, problem solving and decision making. Mind maps use a non-linear graphical form that allows the user to build an intuitive framework around the central idea.
Mind Mapping applications are computer-based visualisation tools that allow users to build mind maps as an aid to problem solving.
Concept of Mind Mapping
The concept of mind maps developed from the idea that traditional linear note taking methods stifle creative thought. By laying out ideas in a linear way (i.e., arranging concepts in a structured method) our minds are limited to left-brain thinking (logical, ordered, detail oriented). Mind mapping ostensibly encourages right-brain thinking (stream-of-consciousness, symbolic, ‘big picture’ oriented).
While these ideas may seem unconnected to business, they are actually central to a range of business management concepts that have developed in recent years – most notably, the concept of ‘thinking outside the box’.
My exercise today for Creative Studies is draw my face partner. So I draw my friend's face and this is the result. I am not good very well in drawing character, just draw the face not fully. His name is Syafiz Amirul and his good at drawing with free hand, good in designing whatever he knows. His good also do 3D object. Last 3 weeks, I saw he make 3D guitar with Manta Ray's render and its awesome. Nice 3D and totally outstanding!!
CREATIVITY
Creativity is the ability to generate innovative ideas and manifest them from thought into reality. The process involves original thinking and then producing.
This is creative things that I found on the Internet. Its called Bomb USB. In my point of view, its really creative things with mix another things like USB port with something like bomb.
NOVELTY
Novelty is the quality of being new. Although it may be said to have an objective dimension (e.g. a new style of art coming into being, such as abstract art or impressionism, it essentially exists in the subjective perceptions of individuals.
In my opinion, novelty is something unusual things. It such a product but working perfectly. Not based just for the product but it work. To realize something unique that is produced from waste materials.
INNOVATION
Innovation is a change in the thought process for doing something, or the useful application of new inventions or discoveries.
I like this is Dual Music Player. For this image, it is a portable music player that supports CD and MP3 files. Otherwise, it can play cd. Its quite interesting and unique for me. Something does not really showing up. Thanks for the creator this items, its quite nice and innovative.
INVENTION
An invention is a new composition, device or process. An invention may be derived from a pre-existing model or idea, or it could be independently conceived in which case it may be a radical breakthrough. Invention is a creative process. An open and curious mind enables one to see beyond what is known. Seeing a new possibility, a new connection or relationship can spark an invention. Inventive thinking frequently involves combining concepts or elements from different realms that would not normally be put together.

Definition of creativity.
For someone who have great creative mind, they able to produce something unique or different perspective views. From that point, they just focus on something what they think its different product from others and what people think its weird but quite nice, that is what we called unique.
From Creativity - Beyond the Myth of Genius, by Robert W. Weisberg.
- ..."creative" refers to novel products of value, as in "The airplane was a creative invention." "Creative" also refers to the person who produces the work, as in, ?Picasso was creative." "Creativity," then refers both to the capacity to produce such works, as in "How can we foster our employees' creativity?" and to the activity of generating such products, as in "Creativity requires hard work." (page 4)
- All who study creativity agree that for something to be creative, it is not enough for it to be novel: it must have value, or be appropriate to the cognitive demands of the situation." (page 4)
