Class Assignment A - Creative Machine

So for our 1st class assignment, we had to design a creative machine that would increase our creativity by 100 times.

After 10 minutes, I was still puzzled as to what does a creative machine looks like in the first place. It was then that I had an idea! Instead of a machine that produces ideas when you look at it, what if I created a machine that would remind me about where ideas come from? That's how I came up with this design.

The basic idea behind this design is...

• Machine that eats up images, surroundings and feelings
• Blends them together to create something new
• Dumps it into the head to generate new ideas
  

In a more wordy description, I was trying to come up with a design that shows a machine devouring various images and symbols and blending it together. I wanted to emphasize that ideas came from all around us, from the weather, signs or even music! Thus, this machine would collect these potential ideas and blend them together before dumping it into your brain. Also, if you noticed, there is no [ON/OFF] switch on this machine which helps to emphasize that we should always be "devouring" our surroundings to generate new ideas.


The above sketch was done in the class. Back at home, I decided to redraw the machine to clean it up abit. Here's a neater version.Urgh... I feel embarrassed about the picture. Haha.

Well... That's the first of the class assignments. It is pretty interesting and challenging to me. I certainly hope I get better at these over the module. -_-|||
