My 3d model

As I've shared about my classmates' works in the previous post. I want to talk about my own here.

A rich man's death. 

The juxtaposition of permanent and impermanent materials represent the fragility of human life as opposed to imperishable material gold. It portrays the saying that wealth cannot be brought along into the coffin when one dies.

My work is the juxtaposition between permanence and impermanence, the model is placed such a way that a skull in lying in a bed of gold. The paper mache skull emphasizes that human life is impermanent as paper is easily destroyable. Whereas the gold coins are made of gold aluminium foil signifying the permanence of material things that cannot be brought along when one dies as gold is known to be a permanent metal.

Week 11 - Design watches with Fork, Hammer and Pencil and Classmates' works

For the final Creative Thinking lesson, we designed watches with 3 objects- Fork, Hammer and Pencil, and a friend in mind that can be represented by that object

 This is a hammer design I drew that represents Claris, I think she is headstrong and also determined to do things her own way, often sturdy and strong like the hammer.

 I made the fork represent Jennifer just for the word play with her name, Jennifork. The end of the strap of the watch is also shaped like the fork!

 The pencil represents Jieyi as she is always accommodating which makes her useful like the pencil.

 Claris- The silver tree, shows juxtaposition between nature and technology. She even added satellites which I think emphasizes the technology better.

 Jieyi's work of juxtaposition show half a cup and a cloth. Juxtaposing materials that is fragile/unbreakable.

 Sherry's work of juxtaposition is the harms aquatic animals suffer from the impact of human use of their body(fur). I think that the color of the dying fish is impactful.

 Safinah's work that represents the consequences of the price of medication. It shows the pain and ultimately death patients that are poor will suffer from.

This is Thurayya's work. Peace vs War.It shows weapons that juxtaposes flowers.

 This is Natalya's work. Needles are dangerous and pain while bed is seen as shelter and comfort. She is portraying someone that is constantly having bad dreams and is afraid to go to bed. The platform is also big to make the bed look cold and lonely.

 This is Wenxin's work. It shows birth vs death. It is interesting as it can be seen in 2 ways. The baby as birth or the flowers as birth (the flowers bloom)

  This is Angel's work of juxtaposition. Needles into heels shows pain vs beauty and the efforts and pains some women will take to look pretty.

This is Insyirah's work. The ferris wheel cages are made to look like prison bars. It portrays one's fear of heights as they feel trapped. Juxtaposing an ideally happy object into one of unhappiness.

 This is Ysabel's work. She used clay to make food like donuts fries and hot dogs in lipstick and compact cushion covers. It shows that the ideal figure of being slim is not important and that everything can be concealed with make up.

Week 10 - Repackaging

Group members: Claris, Jennifer

This week, we had to repackage the item with flawed packaging we found.

This is what we think is a better and more attractive packaging for the potato chips. It is in the form of a potato which is extremely original and has a lid with opening big enough for your hands to reach in, unlike other brands which comes in a can.

Instead of the previous packaging a group made their revised version with a resealable zip and instead of the thin layer of foil they made it more boxy to cushion the crispy seaweed.

This improvised version of the chocomint makes it easier for the consumers to get the chocolate out. I think this is good and practical as I have experienced trouble taking the chocolate out of the current chocomint packaging before

This group created a tearing on this walnut bar (red line across the wrapper) for easier removing of the wrapper.

This is a microwave egg cooker. It holds the egg in a plastic container and you drop the egg in to cook it in the microwave. They made the packaging a chicken as it is relevant to the egg cooker!

This group changed the packaging of cigarettes to encourage smoking instead of the usual gory images shown on cigarette box.

This is a lovely packaging for a tool used for cake decoration is shows the purpose of the item really well and the background is pretty.
