What is prezi ? 

Prezi is a cloud-based presentation software and storytelling tool for presenting ideas on a virtual canvas. The product employs a zooming user interface-ZUL which allows users to zoom in and out of their presentation media, and allows users to display through information.

What is the difference between Prezi and powerpoint ? 

They both come from the same family. Powerpoint is known by all to be the standard 'go-to' software when making presentations. It is simple to learn and compatible with most platforms as compare to Prezi which is complicated to learn. Powerpoint is also extremely useful to create simple, professional presentation with a linear storyline as compared to Prezi which is non-linear, good for people who like to jump around the different ideas throughout their presentation.

Pros and cons

However, there are pros and cons for both Prezi and Powerpoint.
For Powerpoint, it allow you to easily change the colour, fonts and backgrounds used in each slide. But, you actually have to buy the software if you want it on your home computer.  It also associated with outdated graphics and clipart. The linear slide format makes it difficult to go back to a specific slide during presentation.

For Prezi, It filled with all of your information in a creative and unique way. You can zoom freely into another part of the canvas. Instead of trying to find a particular slide, you can smoothly and navigate your presentation. It is free which means you can work from any computer. It is not necessary to download any programs onto your computer as it can use when there is internet connection. You can also play with the images by adjusting any angles you can imagine. It is easy to insert any pictures, audio and videos. However, Prezi is complicated because of all the animation and zooming that is used within.
You also could not print out slides so people would not be able to have a copy of your presentation. In order to use Prezi offline, you need to purchase the program which cost more than Powerpoint.


In summary, i think that Prezi can be used to show slides to students for lessons. It can allows them to stay focus and keep students interested in what you are saying. Powerpoint can be used for business or projects presentation.

Document mind-map

During the lesson, we have did one draft by listing out all the "what makes us creative" ways.
We have a hard time thinking at first so we try search ideas from google. We think of ideas and I list down the points they have said. After one hour, we finally managed to fill up the major paper with permanent marker.  Afterthat, we discussed about how to decorate the major paper for final. After discussion, we decided to pass the major paper to each of us to complete. Yashini took the major paper to complete drawing the title then pass it to me to do the decoration as well as mind-mapping. At last, Victoria will take to finalize the decoration. 

Reflection
During the lesson, i realised that there are many ways to be creative. Some of the ways is weird and i never thought of it can make us be creative. I was thinking of trying out some ways at home too.  My group have managed to think of many points. We have cooperate with one another.

I sincerely apologised for not taking my health. I did not really know what was going on for the lesson but i had tried to ask my classmates to tell me more about the lesson. Hope I will not make this happened again.

Elaborate how to squeeze the lemon

We can use durians to squeeze the lemon ! 


We use transport like car to squeeze the lemon juice out.



We can throw the lemon into the lion cave to feed the lion. Lion can help to squeeze the lemon out.


Reflection
After going through the mind-map that each of the group has done, i realised that there are many different ways of solving the questions. It is the matter of us, willing to think out of the box.
Sometimes, ideas are not always the first thing we think. Instead, ideas need to think throughly and figure out if this solution really works.  During last week lesson, i get to know more better from my classmates, we get to cooperate more and accept each other opinion. In conclusion, i had learned how to think deeply and voice out my opinions.

individual 5 designs / art



http://designlike.com/modern-interpretation-of-the-rocking-chair-with-unique-design/

This rocking chair has break the rules. Supposingly, chairs should have at least one leg but this chair do not have any legs. It is being design in a unique way . It make me feel that this chair might not available to people who have weight more than 50 kg.


http://bedroomdecorr.tk/unique-furniture/

This sofa has break the rules. We always thought that sofa leg should be on the floor to ensure stability. However, it is being design in a way whereby the legs is being placed on the floor and the wall at the same times. It make me feel 

http://theinspirationgrid.com/3d-architectural-illustrations-by-victor-enrich/

This architect building makes me feel worry if i was inside this building.
Makes me feel unbalanced and will fall off anytime. It is a unique design which designed in a curvy way for building. It has break the rules due to the way we look at this building. Feeling instability too.




http://theinspirationgrid.com/3d-architectural-illustrations-by-victor-enrich/

This building has break the rules. It makes me unsafe and anxious .
I never stop doubting this design when  i look at first in my eyes. Is this design able to withstand all the people inside?  Will this design collsape anytime ?

It has break the rules whereby the rooftop is being placed in a diagonal position. It makes me feel a sense of anxious and fear if i stay in this house. There is a full of expression in this picture.



Reflection
After this lesson, I did not know these buildings actually do exist in real life ! I did not believe it at first because the architect are so beautiful and well-designed. I thought that it is hard to built this by man. Such a beautiful building in the world. Really hope can get to see them in real life and able to know more about them.

3 things broken the rules

Basically, my group victoria, yashini and me went to explore Singapore after our lesson.
We found out there are many things that break the rules around bugis area.



This is a table whereby people come and have food. It was found from the cafe called Maison Ikkoku. 
It broke the rules as it was actually a door but not a table for us to have food.
They replaced this door to become a table ! 



This was actually the car tyres but it become a decoration for plants.
How amazing and creative it can be ? 

They tried to break the rules by combine the bulb and the water tape together !
This bulb still can light out ! It was found from a cafe called La Marelle.


Cupboard put on top of the rooftop for decoration.
It was also found from a cafe named Maison Ikkoku.




In addition, i also found out there are not only the three that break the rules.


This is actually a table that put the games that play in the olden days. 




Tap water as a decoration that place on the wall.

It has divided into many ways to hang our things on the wall instead of a few.



A chair which designed in a very smooth and small surface. 



Reflection

I realised that even a very small country has many different things for us to explore. As long as we took time to walk and explore around the city. We could actually find many creative things and also gain ideas from there too. Some of the things have broke the rules in our life but we did not realise it after this assignment that the teacher gives us.

Break the rules!



My daily routine
From Monday to Friday, my daily routine is almost the same everyday.
Wake up early in the morning, head to school. After my lesson ends, I will eat lunch with friends and go back home early to do my homework. Sometimes i will go work if my lesson ends early so that i can earn some pocket money. At night, i will spend my leisure time watching television.
However, i get tired easily when there is work. So i need to plan my time well for my weekdays.
During my weekend, i will spend time at home and hang out with friends. I always sleeps very late like 12 or 1 am because of homework and using handphone at night.

Break it ! 
I want to break my rules by sleeping 11.30pm for a week.
After breaking the rules, i realised that my scedule is very tight and pack.
I need to stop working so that i have enough time to do my homework as well as time for me to rest.
This week has been a really tough week for me as sleeping early is not an easy task for me.
I have a habit of sleeping late which is why i could hardly sleep early in the limited time given.

Reflection
I realised that sleeping early is good. I start to wake up earlier to prepare and i have the energy to start the day off. Sleeping early also can get rid of my eyebag.
Hope i can plan my scedule well and have enough rest (sleep) for myself.
I believe i will carry the habit of sleeping early in the future.




During school time, i had went to explore Bugis. I found out many creativity things around us.


I had went to the furniture shop to explore.
This is actually a chair which designed in a circular form of direction.
This look like a bigger size of yo-yo 

It is actually a clock which designed like a spade. 

Swing outside the shop. 
The base is actually a skateboard with the metal hanging on top of the wall.


During the holiday, i had went to Malacca with family. I found out some of the creativity things around there too. 




This is a tricycle which decorated according to theme. 
This is actually a hello kitty theme.

How to squeeze a lemon ?

http://genius.com/1966751


Groupwork with Yashini and Victoria.
Victoria-Group leader
Yashini- Writer
Jeraldine(Me) - Document notes

We stayed back after lesson to complete our 101 mind-map.
It was quite a hard question as the ideas was not as much as we thought.
However we managed to complete it !
Picture i have took while we were doing our project.

At first, we do a draft on a small notebook before putting on the paper.
We were discussing how to categories them and things that we can squeeze the lemon.
There were many creative ideas given by Victoria and Yashini.
We gave opinions to one another, discussing about if the method is correct or incorrect.
We also designed our board using colour markers and pens.









Reflection
I think that 101 ways to squeeze the lemon is a challenging topic for me. It was because there is only one lemon yet more than 100 ways to squeeze the lemon. In most of the people's mind, the only way they think of is using hand to squeeze the lemon. However, there are actually many ways to do it. The ways we list out on the mind-map is far creative than we thought.

Trees ?

"the closer you live to nature, the healthier you're likely to be" 

Is it true ? 

http://content.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,1731606_1566407,00.html


Yes, it is true.

Trees absorb carbon dioxide, storing the carbon while releasing the oxygen back into the air. 
Sunlight is a natural source of vitamin D too. So when we expose to more sunlight, we are more healthier as compare to people at home.
Trees also releasing water vapour into the air through their leaves which make us feel fresher in the morning or night. 
The color of the tree which is green is a calming, cool color that help us to have a better eyesight and make us feel peaceful, make us feel fresher.


When we walked around trees, we will feel more self-discipline, and greater mental health overall. Result good health.

Reflection
I believe when we are feeling down, and go for a walk in the park, we will feel better with a peaceful mind. It is also the best time to reflect ourselves. Trees help us to clean air and breath in oxygen.
It is a important natural source in every part of our lives.


Additional creative design


This is actually a trees and lights are surrounded them by tying them together in a circle.
This can be found near dhoby gaut mrt station.
I think this is being designed this way in order to give light during the darkness.
Isn't it creative ?
