Day 3

Student: Mr Martin... How to be creative... ha?

Mr. Martin: Tell me what is not creative?

Student: Sir, why you always never answer in simple way?

Mr. Martin: Because you always forget that... you also can do the thinking instead of me doing it for you...

Student: eeerrrrrr... so deep lah ha! ha! ha!

Martin: ha! ha! ha!

Getting ideas are the most common problem that even veteran designers still facing, hey what is life without challenge right?

You guys may wonder is there any special formula for fast ideas or at least what are the most common steps designers should consider during emergency situation?

Ok, let me share with you what are the tips for “911” situation went your creative juice really run dry. (Remember only use its’ when you come to the last minute)

1) Combination
2) “Enlarge” or “Reduce”
3) Contrast
4) Super impose


Fantasy is the best game that designer should indulge; in order to visit “Alice & the wonderland” so stay daydreaming and venture deeper.

1) “Combination” is an “Evolution” and lead to new “Solution” in order to bring new “Civilisation”, ok that's all ha! ha!

2) By Enlarge & Reduce >> Imagine what will it's be if you are an ant looking up the gigantic things around you and how about you looking down like Goliath?

If you were shooting around with your macro lense, I bet you will discover miracles visuals that beyond you normal visual.

3) By contrast >> the word itself already self explain so no further explanation needed.
ok! ok! need some refresh, here you are >> contrast by; colour, shape, size, distant & texture.

4) Super imposes >> look around us “big is sexy” ha! ha! Don’t get me wrong, I means big logo on the car, big watches trends and for the rich big house... big this, big that but small... err ops not suppose to review (censor). You guys like current movies because it is so dam “Super Impose with camera and technologies tricks.... is fake but who care as long as it is syok........lo.
With current software, images are easily been manipulated to achieved a desire super impose effect... still remember the big head guys walking around... from TVC?
