Munch Nine - (Week 9) Forced connection part 1!

For this week's assignment we were asked to design things with some certain adjective. I chose to design pencils.

This first pencils are passionate pencils. As you can see, there is a small statue on the top. When you hold the pencils close, they would look like as if they are hugging.

This pencil is a sad pencil. See how it is bent to the side? It looked just like what we do when we are deppresed and sad. Doesn't it?

This one is a mechanical pencil. To start writing, pull the trigger. Do you dare to pull the trigger though? 

This is the creative pencil. There is a note you can pull from this mechanical pencil and you can scribble some of your creative ideas on it so you won't forget it.

The next pencil has all thickness you need. Then you don't have to buy another pencil. This shows how greedy the pencil is.

I actually was planning to draw a reeaaaaalllyyyy long pencil, but oh well. The space was not enough. This is a pencil for a really long time. It is a very hardworking pencil

For those who are wondering what app I am using, it is called Sketches. It is free.

This app allows you to make several sketchbooks according to your preferences.

It also provides you with a decent number of drawing tools.

The red rectangle thingy is a pattern tool. It also provides you with several types of pattern.

So, this app is really helpful and of course, eco friendly.

Munch Eight - (Week 8) Analogical Thinking Part 2

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/

This week, we're learning more about Analogical thinking.

The lecture gave us some time to go around the building and find things that look like a face. We're working in groups again! Yay!

So, here are the picture of what we had found.

This first picture is a picture of my water bottle. When we look at it from this angle, a face is visible, making a shocked looking face.

The second one is a part of the locker located just outside our classroom. When we look at it this way, it looked like a rather bored face.

This third picture is of a socket. This kinda look like a scream face to me with and addition arm, which is the power switch.

This photo is of a door. Just imagine that the glass is the right eye, and the paper is the left eye with a small eyebrow on the top. The vertical handle is the nose, and the horizontal handle is the mouth. There is also an additional keyhole under it (lol).

We also found some, rather scary, faces on the trees trunk just outside our building. Interesting.

This one is a photo of a I don't know what handle that looked like a smiling mouth and my feet that looked like eyes. 

This is another photo of the locker. Kinda look like a penguin doesn't it?

Munch Seven - (Week 7) Analogical Thinking Part 1

This week's homework, we were tasked to look 2 existing products and discover the relationships to other objects.

This is the first object.

www.furnime.com

This is a sofa made by Fredrikson Stallard, called Pyrenees sofa. When you look at it, what does it remind you of?

My answer, is the mountain.

This is another example.

This chair reminds me of the tree trunk, very natural and it looks really realistic.

Last example, an extra.

You know what, they actually remind me of..... onion. I don't think they meant to do that though. It just... happened.

It is a photo of a bathtub that looks like stone. It really is made out of stone though.
