Oh my god it's great!

These are my good friend's work on design fundamental. It's just pure greatness. Her work is flat, nice and clean, and the colour matches are very interesting. I personally like the green one very much. Again, I just want to say, her work is just pure greatness!

Creating Juxtaposition

Mr Radzi told us more about juxtaposition and give us some tasks on juxtaposition.

So, it's about Juxtaposition

From the lecture notes, Juxtaposition is synonymous with contrast, 2 objects or texts that oppose one another. Contrast is often overtly marked by markers, such as:
- It's raining, but I am not taking an umbrella .
The guy knows well about it's going to be raining, but didn't go prepare for it. Here shows the relationship of comparing something similar, yet different, that is believed to be typical of contrastive relations.

There's still another type of Juxtaposition, which is random Juxtaposition that refers to the stimulation of creativity in problem solving, design or other creative pursuit by confronting two unrelated concepts or objects, usually the goal or problem to be solved on the one hand and a randomly selected object or concept on the other. Similar to an oxymoron. For example, the juxtaposition of ‘cigarette po soap’ gave rise to the idea of putting flower seeds in the butts of cigarette so that man would beautify the surroundings with his waste instead of messing them up.

Inception, Greatest movie of the year

When I checking the movie list, I thought Iron Man 2 would be greatest movie in this year, although it turns out to be disappointing. But it's not over yet! Just today, I watched a very great and interesting movie, Inception! What is it great about? The ideas and the action and the emotion... Just everything is great!!

The story is about Cobb, an "extractor", who enters the dreams of others to obtain information that is otherwise inaccessible^. His abilities and questions about the death of his wife have cost him his family and his nationality, but he is promised a chance to regain his old life in exchange for planting an idea in a corporate target's mind. This process of planting an idea, known as "inception", is less familiar and far more difficult than Cobb's usual job of "extraction". (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inception_%28film%29)

I like the idea, which is about dreams. Most of the time is they enter the subconscious of a target and extract information from him/her. What special is most of the actions happen in dreams, the heroes enemies are not the subject nor the other guy, it's the defense mode in the target's subconscious, which are shown with a group of people with firearms. And the ending is one of the best part of the movie. It didn't clearly state how's the ending and make most of the audience will talk about it when get out from the cinema. Not intend to create spoiler so didn't state here.

All in all, I like this movie very much.

Not an ordinary Mortar and Pestle

In class, Mr Radzi ask us to think of some other use of mortar and pestle. He gave us a mind map.

Our work is choose 3 words from here, and think of other use of mortar and pestle.
I choose strong, $$$ and People. Here's my work:

A very famous quote

“Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn”

The quote above is a line from 1939 classic film, Gone With The Wind, where the hero, Rhett Butler speak to the heroin, Scarlet for the last time when Scarlet ask him "Where shall I go? What shall I do?". It is a very special quote as it contains profanity, which was not allowed in the film of that time, and it also shows that Rhett is no longer cares about Scarlett. This quote was voted as number one movie line of all time in year 2005 by American Film Institute.
