Poetic Possibilities

In my opinion, when i hear the word Poetic Possibilities, it is something that are almost impossible to accomplish by us. So that's why it's called possibilities. It is like a dream of doing something that are extraordinary or being someone special like being a superhero. When I was a kid I always dreamed of being a hero. Saving people's life and helping people who are in trouble. If I can be a superhero for one day, I would choose Superman because he can fly! So going from places to places is so easy. And superman is almost immortal he can withstand guns shots even if it hits his face. I could just fly above the city and just use my eagle eyes to see everything and help those in need.

Mechanism

Mechanism is something that has a set of flow or have an ordered manner into completing a task. Examples of mechanism are a running car engine, how the bicycle moves, and even your body is a mechanism. In other words, mechanism is an assembly of moving parts performing a complete functional motion.

Here's an example of mechanism! Enjoy the video!

Intellectual Food

What I think when I hear the word intellectual food is like a mixture of different kinds of foods in one serving.. but im not really sure what's the real meaning of it..

Enjoy the video! Makes me hungry!

P.S The video does not belong to me.

Out of the box

What comes to your mind when your hear the phrase "out of the box"? You will normally think of something that you did not expect or something that is very weird and unique. It also can be very funny or interesting when it comes to this.

One of the examples of what i didn't expect to see haha


An amazing goal by Brazil's Roberto Carlos that caught everyone by surprise

Flawed with awe

Nobody in this world is perfect. Everyone has their own flaws or weakness. All of us have to face our flaws.

As for myself, I am not used to be the center of attention. I will feel uneasy when that happens such as during presentations. It's because I am not good at presenting and also I am abit shy. But that doesn't happen when I get attention for doing the things I am good at such as playing sports. However, since I started my education in University, I am more confident and less nervous when presenting because of all the presentations we all need to do during class. Besides that, self appearance plays an important role in boosting your confidence. Back then, I was a lengthy and scarwny guy who is not happy with my own appearance. Then i decided to make a change. I signed up for a gym membership during the semester holidays and I workout hard. By the end of the semester, I've gained alot of lean mass which made me look fitter and stronger. Last but not least I gained so much confidence then ever doing anything I face.

My First Project

The Project Video(Link here)

The object that my group decided to choose was the toy skateboard. Then we brainstormed about what can we do with this object that is out of the norm. After a lot of ideas, finally we came up with the idea of the food/drinks tray to serve customers at the restaurants or bars. Then we drew some drawings for different settings such as in the pub, seaside, tropical, high class restaurant and fast food.

Dreams

DREAMS...

What is a dream? We all dream..day and night. It could be daydreaming or even while you sleep.. but what are those dreams mean? Are they reflecting something or it's just some random stuff your minds playing. Dreams can be frightening, exciting, magical, adventurous or sexual. Dreams are usually out of control unless the person is lucid dreaming where the person is self aware. Dreams also can give inspirational thoughts to the dreamer. Dreams also can mean a persons ambition in their future. For example, the boy's dreams it to become a designer when he grows up.

Dreams can be anything. It doesn't have to make sense or logical. Dreams can be...

...horrifying...

..relaxing...

...magical..

..or sexual...

Oblique Strategies

WHAT IS OBLIQUE STRATEGIES? 

Oblique Strategies is a deck of cards in a black box. It is like a size of a regular playing cards. The cards are used to help inspire artists or musicians to do something bizarre. Each card contains a phrase or sayings which can be used to break a deadlock or dilemma situation. Some are specific to music and others are more general.

Examples of Oblique Strategies

 

Who am I?

Who am I? Well, here's a little introduction about myself. My name is Ridhwan. I'm 20 this year. I grew up in Petaling Jaya. I have three other siblings. One sister and two brothers. My hobbies are playing football, futsal and video games especially FIFA :) I love sports and also art (more towards drawing). Previously, I was doing my Degree in IT at Taylors Lakeside for two semesters but then changed to Degree in Graphic Communication Design because I find IT a bit boring. As for the 5th week in my new course, I am currently enjoying it because the class is fun and also very 'colorful' compared to my previous course. Here are my artworks so far in this course.

Batman Mythology

In this movie, batman (Bruce Wayne) was just an ordinary person when he was a kid. On one night, his parents were killed by a robber with a gun. When his parents were killed,all of his parents money and property was passed by to him.

Then millionaire Bruce Wayne relocates to Asia when he is mentored by Henri Ducard and Ra's Al Ghul in how to fight evil. When learning about the plan to wipe out evil in Gotham City by Ducard, Bruce prevents this plan from getting any further and heads back to his home. Back in his original surroundings, Bruce adopts the image of a bat to strike fear into the criminals and the corrupt as the icon known as 'Batman'.

In this movie Bruce Wayne has to face his fears and get stronger in order to fight evil. Just like in real life where everyone should face their fears or else they will always be on the same spot.
