Air Car by Guy Negre
Ever imagine a car that is one of the main pollutions in the world converts into an eco friendly car? It was a shocker. But not any more. Guy Negre, founder of MDI (Motor Development International)designs an engine that runs on compressed air. Emissions are only filtered air that's cleaner than outside air. 300 bars of pressure in carbon-fibre & kevlar air tanks.Pollution free vehicle that produces zero emissions. When the car stops at traffic lights, the engine stops so no energy is lost because there's no idling.

Walking House by N55
When your at home, usually because you won't go anywhere. What happened if your home do the walk for you? WALKING HOUSE is a modular dwelling system that enables persons to live a peaceful nomadic life, moving slowly through the landscape or cityscape with minimal impact on the environment. It collects energy from its surroundings using solar cells and small windmills. There is a system for collecting rain water and a system for solar heated hot water. A small greenhouse unit can be added to the basic living module, to provide a substantial part of the food needed by the Inhabitants. A composting toilet system allows sewage produced by the inhabitants to be disposed of. A small wood burning stove could be added to provide CO2 neutral heating.

Week 5 : How Mergers Gone Wrong
Week 5 : Juxtaposition Part 2
Week 4 : Juxtaposition : Metaphor & Similes
Metaphor
Metaphor, the most important and widespread figure of speech, in which one thing, idea, or action is referred to by a word or expression normally denoting another thing, idea, or action, so as to suggest some common quality shared by the two. This resemblance is assumed as an imaginary identity rather than directly stated as a comparison: referring to a man as that pig, or saying he is a pig is metaphorical.

"You've become a part of me,
You'll always be right here,
You've become a part of me,
You'll always be my fear"
(Source : Linkin Park - Figure 0.9)
"time is a valuable thing,
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings"
(Source : Linkin Park - In The End)
"You are the calm I am the storm,
You are the breeze that carries me on,
When I set adrift you anchor me,
You're there for me"

Similes
Similes, also a figure of speech involving a comparison between two unlike entities. In a simile, unlike a metaphor, the resemblance is indicated by the words "like" or "as." Similes in everyday speech reflect simple comparisons, as in "He eats like a bird" or "She is slow as molasses." Similes in literature may be specific and direct or more lengthy and complex. The Homeric, or epic, simile, which is typically used in epic poetry, often extends to several lines.

Examples :
"I know just what it feels like,
To have a voice in the back of my head,
It’s like a face that I hold inside,
A face that awakes when I close my eyes,
A face watches every time I lie,
A face that laughs every time I fall"
(Source : Linkin Park - Papercut)
"You're still a part of everything I do,
You're in my heart just like a tattoo"
(Source : Jordin Sparks - Tatoo)
"She acts like summer and walks like rain,
Reminds me that there's time to change"
(Source : Train - Drops of Jupiter)
"He said life's so hard to move in sometimes,
When it feels like I'm towing the line"

Week 2 : Novelty, Innovation & Invention
Novelty is the quality of being new. Although it may be said to have an objective dimension (e.g. a new style of art coming into being, such as abstract art or impressionism) it essentially exists in the subjective perceptions of individuals. It also refers to something novel; that which is striking, original or unusual.
Quotes :
"The new always happens against the overwhelming odds of statistical laws and their probability, which for all practical, everyday purposes amounts to certainty; the new therefore always appears in the guise of a miracle."
- Hannah Arendt
"We do not quite say that the new is more valuable because it fits in; but its fitting in is a test of its value -- a test, it is true, which can only be slowly and cautiously applied, for we are none of us infallible judges of conformity."
- T. S. Eliot
"Of all the passions of mankind, the love of novelty most rules the mind. In search of this, from realm to realm we roam. Our fleets come loaded with every folly home."
- Shelby Foote
The Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC) was the first electronic digital computing device built by Dr. Atanasoff and Clifford E. Berry at Iowa State College during 1939–42.
Innovation
The term innovation means a new way of doing something. It may refer to incremental, radical, and revolutionary changes in thinking, products, processes, or organizations. A distinction is typically made between Invention, an idea made manifest, and innovation, ideas applied successfully.
Quotes :
"The INNOVATION point is the pivotal moment when talented and motivated people seek the opportunity to act on their ideas and dreams."
- W. Arthur Porter
"Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with improving your other innovations."
- Steve Jobs
"An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents. What does happen is that its opponents gradually die out, and that the growing generation is familiarized with the ideas from the beginning."
- Max Planck
The iPhone 3G is an improvement from the original iPhone. It is an internet-connected multimedia smartphone designed and marketed by Apple Inc. with a flush multi-touch screen and a minimal hardware interface. The device does not have a physical keyboard, so a virtual keyboard is rendered on the touch screen instead.
Invention
An invention is the discovery or creation of a new configuration, composition of matter, device, or process. Some inventions are based on pre-existing models or ideas. Other inventions are radical breakthroughs which may extend the boundaries of human knowledge or experience.
Quotes :
“For example, if you're doing an experiment, you should report everything that you think might make it invalid — not only what you think is right about it... Details that could throw doubt on your interpretation must be given, if you know them.”
- Richard Feynman
“When most people think that everything is working normally, an inventor will home in on the absurdity, the utter foolishness of the way everyone seems to accept the world as it is. Others won’t even see what’s wrong-until the inventor stumbles across it. By isolating a problem in a new way, by redefining it, by focusing it does to something more specific than meets the average eye, the inventor constructs a new possibility where none was though to have existed.”
- Evan I. Schwartz
“The state of mind which enables a man to do work of this kind is akin to that of the religious worshiper or the lover; the daily effort comes from no deliberate intention or program, but straight from the heart.”
- Albert Einstein
The Lisa is the first commercial computer with a GUI, or Graphical User Interface. From Apple Computer, Inc. (now Apple, Inc.) during the early 1980s. The first to use point-and-click at tiny pictures on the screen with a small rolling device called a 'mouse'.

All of those advertising is creative in a sense of exaggeration. With creativity it helps the user to get the better picture and confident of what the products are capable of.
Week 1 : Intro To Creative Studies : Defining Creative & Creativity
Creative Studies. One of the subjects that I am taking for this trimester. Personally I have no clue or idea what's this class going to be. Only that we will be learning one of the most hardest to define topics; Creative. Well, it changes my attitude a bit after the first class. Gave me an interesting though of how to think creatively step by step or piece by piece.
In this class, we going to learn and study how to be creative where many people including me, wants to know and be. What I would like to learn from this class is being able to solve a problem or idea and turn it into a creative solution.
What I have learn at class this week is how to be creative is to work hard. when we work hard, we gain much more experience and ways to solve the problem. Even better, we also can turn it into a something that people might not think of, because they don't work that hard to achieve to that point; solve the problem in a unique way.
We had a little game of what brain are you prone to use? Mine as I figured, Left Brain dominant or Logical thinker. lets see what are the differences of Left Brain and Right Brain works.
(Source: www.funderstanding.com/content/right-brain-vs-left-brain)
As you see mine is not that creative but I'm also not that logical of a thinker. Maybe I'm learning to use my right brain also. Now that is good news. :D
Creative and Creativity. Two different words and meaning. Or is it? Lets check it out.
Creative : Relating to or involving the use of imagination or original ideas in order to create something.
(Source : Concise Oxford English Dictionary)
Creativity : Ability to produce something new through imaginative skill, whether a new solution to a problem, a new method or device, or a new artistic object or form.
(Source : Britannica Concise Encyclopedia)
It does sound similar does it? To me, creative is a thought which describes to a form, object or ideas that presented which is unique and different. So creativity is a state of mind where ideas are new, fresh and no one haven't think of it yet. Both of them are the same and exact. It just how you use the two words according to the proper manner or proper grammar.
For example : "He is a swift basketball player"
"He swiftly takes the ball and shoot "
