Assignment 1A-Me, Myself and I

In our first assignment, we suppose to come up with words that identify us. My name is Huang yaofeng, so I using my surname ‘Huang’ but after a second thought I found it a bit too long and lengthy. So I changed and start thinking of using my initial like ‘HYF’ and ‘YAO’ or ‘FENG’. Finally I decided to use ‘YAO’ as some of my friends will address me in this way so I find that ‘YAO’ will associate to me.

I started to brainstorm about visual idea that will help to represent me my character, personality, strength and weakness and etc. The key of this brainstorming is that we need to communicate these designs through the manipulation of letters in our selected word that help to identify us. I explored further through the things that I liked to play for example pool and basketball. Also, I thought of the fruits and food that I liked to eat like watermelon, orange, durian and cherry.

First entry (Class exercise A)

During our first lecture, we were told to sketch a machine or device that enhances our creativity by 100 times. Much thought came to my mind about sketching the different devices like laptops, hand phones and remote control with a more creative interface. Finally, I decided to sketch a creative helmet which has some extraordinary functions that a normal helmet does not have.

The above sketch is my entry for Class Exercise A, a creative helmet. What is so special about this helmet is that it allows the rider to attend to phone calls without having to take out his cell phone. This is possible through the Bluetooth mike as label as c). Also, the mini storage device as label as a) is able to store mp3 music and songs which allow the rider to enjoy the music while riding. Lastly, there is an additional camera on top of the helmet label as b).
