THE FINAL PROJECT!!!

this was our last project in creative studies after having some of the most interesting lessons mostly wen we tackled topics like juxtaposition,, really interesting!! the first week we were supposed to make to very huge mind-maps one on creative multimedia and the other on a topic of our choice from the first mind map,ours were actually first rejected, it really never met the standards!! anyway finally we did these ones!,

                                                  the creative studies mind map

from this mind map we chose a subject off and handled it differently, the subject was the application of creative multimedia and here is its own mind-map.

                                         the application of creative multimedia mind-map.

this tackled the different ways in which creative multimedia is applied in our daily lives.

 next was the essay about the applications of creative multimedia. we wrote it out and later presented it to him with an outstanding topic sentence on which we were going to make the next sketches,,

                             the essay on the application of creative multimedia

The Application of creative multimedia
Creative multimedia is best understood if one separates the two big words which in this case are creative and multimedia. Creative simply means having the ability to think and act unique where as multimedia refers to the various ways of passing on information for example through texts, animations audio clips and sideshows. Therefore creative multimedia in the lay man language refers to the unique ideas that people introduce in the world of media.  The application of creative multimedia can however be further categorized since it is applied in various parts of our daily lives,
In the entertainment part, creative multimedia can be applied in creating amazing motion graphics, movies and animations that keep people entertained during their free time, the concept of creative multimedia in this case is employed to create a variation in presentation or even the flow which helps to fight the problem of inconsistency and monotony in the production of the animations and motion graphics. Achieving such a goal of keeping the crowds entertained and occupied for a long time without having to repeat certain presentations simply requires a good interaction between extremely creative minds and the different types of media. The entertainment enjoyed through creative multimedia can be further seen even through more ways. It can appear through printed format where we meet the comics that people read and enjoy, the crossword puzzles which people try out and solve and the novels which people read as a way of entertaining themselves. Also we find the creative arts that include the MDD (music dance and drama) and are enjoyed mostly by people who still believe in old tradition values of society. Here people get to watch stage plays and listen to traditional music composed using their own traditional instruments like drums.
Economically, creative multimedia can be of great economic value considering one can apply it to for commercial gains. A creative mind can earn a living through the creativity they employ in multimedia for example through making advertisements for companies and other organizations’ that pay to get recognition and fame. People apply their brains to pull off brilliant advertisements for which they get paid in lots of money for that. In the same sense advertising is a big job that one cannot simply start and finish alone so eventually other people get employed in the field from which they earn a living. Considering that from creative multimedia people earn a living, it means the income earners become many and therefore the tax base of the country becomes wider with time and  this increases the country’s income per capita  and later the national income of the country which even though it’s long term leads to development of the country. So from people paying a lot of taxes having a lot of businesses in advertisements and other creative multimedia investments like comics and magazines that also pay huge taxes lead to economic growth and evidently advertising is one of the biggest earning sectors in any economy.
In the information sections of our lives, creative multimedia is applied in a couple of ways. It is applied in the institutions of learning like schools academies, universities, and training workshops and cooperate business meetings to provide information to the public and all involved parties respectively. Different modes of creative multimedia for example slide shows are used in schools to easily teach and inform students without all of  them having to access that information from the same source. Also, they can be used in cooperate business meetings to show the sales and progression of their business entity. Through slide shows they make graphs and pie charts which simplify and breakdown the information for all members to understand which makes work easier. Still through we get to acquire information through the news provided by the news channels on television stations. These eventually create an equally informed environment meaning it is easy for people to know what is going on their own countries whenever and wherever it happens.
Finally creative multimedia can be employed in the communications part of our lives, various ideas that we have mentioned above can be used still in communication here. Social communication which appears mainly through public awareness programs can be done using various means in creative multimedia. One can use printed material like posters, fliers and banners to provide free information that benefits society, for example in case of a disease outbreak, public awareness programs are put into place to help inform the people about the dangers and causes of such disasters.
Conclusively creative multimedia is indeed a very significant means to live by considering one can only sit down and access all the information they need to be up to date in all the sectors of their lives like health, finance and politics.



 after  we were to chose a random word in this case (paint) and make sketches from that random word but relating it to our topic sentence which was.creative multimedia affects our perception emotion and reaction

                  the sketches that were developed from the essay with the random word paint.

 P/S some pages have more than just one sketch even up to ten appear on a single page!

next was a a single sketch from each of the members and this was even a little more interesting because we were supposed to chose from the 1o sketches each one made!!
                                                              
                                                                the five sketches

very weird sketches  but good so we agreed later to chose 2 from those use them in the final video presentation which we made using adobe after effects and Sony vegas9.

                                                      the final 2 sketches we used,
  

this is what we came up with and included in the final video presentation that we submitted for marking and grading.

                                                                    the video

 

that was our final work !!!

THE QUEEN CAT,,

possibly one of the most scary things i have managed to draw out of my brain... do not bother her, she will find you, and even if you don't she will find you,, so she had better find you clean and ready!! QUEEN CAT!!

ok imagine the possibilities of completely free generation where marriage is between any race and type of people? make it even better, intermarriage amongst all animals,,, is there a any doubt that a hybrid of a buffalo and a chimpanzee would be like this?? i have no doubt, it is a perfect combination though,,juxtaposition however gives us the creativity to explore such possibilities though they are hypothetical..but at least we get to meet them in our idea generation processes..which is good!!

talking about relating very different subjects, this is a very disturbing collaboration, but it has managed to look like it exists, juxtaposition helps one understand the concept of survival by one's creativity, same way one makes a movie with characters that do not exist in the world but they are made and people are moved by what they watch..i named that the guinea horse..

this is a poem i created based on juxtaposition, i have to really unrelated subjects chili and love, chili is love and literally love is supposed to be a good thing, but making a poem saying i love you like chili simply makes it ironic, since it is rare to find people who love chili as much that means whatever that love is it is a rare type, either too much or too little.

still on juxtaposition, one learns to relate to completely dissimilar objects or words which is also good in boosting creativity in the mind, how to relate two different worlds. as in the picture above the related are two very different subjects but i just found a way to relate them, which makes sense by the way.

juxtaposition

for juxtaposition to get well  into use, one has to have two objects or words placed together for comparison , they could be extremely similar of even just with a few similar qualities, above is the mortar and pastel, traditional kitchen utensil that have existed in almost all social groups that have even the slightest belief in traditional aspirations. so by using juxtaposition we can easily tell the similarities amongst all the social groups that have applied the objects in question! take a close look at the above images and u will see the ways in which the objects were applied for different reasons..
