Week 9 Juxtaposition(Exercise) Personal Reflection

This week, Mr. Radzi give us some exercise about juxtaposition, just to let us completely understand what juxtaposition is about. This was the first class that ended at 6pm, simply because the exercise given are interesting and interactive. I think most of us are quite enjoying. Anyway, i hope the rest of the classes can be like this, at least not boring notes, but some interactive exercise can actually help us on the understanding.

Here are the exercise that we have done during the class.

First, we are given 2 groups of words, and then choose 3 numbers that you like,

the number that i chosen- 13, 18, 91
according to the groups of words and the numbers beside them,
13=flower, wind
18=flower, wood
91=fly, water

then, use those words that u chosen, form a sentence and sketch it out.


After that, combine the words you chosen to become a totally new word. For example, Flowerwood, Flywater and sketch it out.


The last exercise was, HOW MERGERS GO WRONG?
we are requested to merge 2 kinds of animals together, hence, they must not survive.

I used elephant and hen's feet, trying to make the elephant unbalance, of course, this is not the answer.

The answer is............................................................................

‘Ramm ND, a Russian designer, with a touch of genius, designed these aesthetically pleasing work of art from our normal can drink packaging. Ramm has changed in what is considered an everyday object to something very very special.’ quoted from Dsgn world.

Ya, i have to agree with Dsgn world. Ramm ND not only change the boring branded can drink packaging to something new creatively but also bring the graphic design into another perspective.
I really fall for the design of the can drinks. Here are some pictures to share.

Marc Johns creates whimsical drawings filled with dry wit and humour. Whether it’s a man with branches growing out of his head that need pruning, or a pipe that’s trying to quit smoking, his characters are simply, sparsely drawn, yet speak volumes with just a few strokes of the pen.

Ya, i simply like his drawing. Simple yet creative and meaningful.
