Hello! HARUJUKU~

This is one of my favorite fashion style - Harajuku fashion style.

Harajuku style trendy bold and avant-garde fashion, not only pay attention to color mix and cooperation, but also take care of hair color and makeup pace unity.
Harajuku fashion history can be traced back after World War II,
As a military family neighborhoods, strong American style make this little-known station became the birthplace of a foreign culture. In the 1980s, parts of Japan's apparel manufacturers, fashion magazines flocked in Harajuku, Omotesando area built along the outlets and boutiques, "Harajuku style" popular in Japan.

I like the unique and casual style of dress, and Harajuku style is in line with what I want.
"Harajuku style" contains two different extremes as well: either strong punk, or delicate gentle.
And I prefer delicate gentle, it is usually more lovely. We generally choose lighter clothing, lace, chiffon, embroidery, tutu, puff , bows and other elements. The hair will be dyed pink or purple, dress up like a childhood dream of every girl like fairies. For example, sometimes I will choose some of my favorite clothing and usually do not choose clothing. Therefore, there will be an unexpected fashion effect. However, no matter what style you want to do, you have to consider yourself is appropriate.

Because I really crazy about the Harajuku fashion style. I did the mood board for it as well. However, I added another elements in  the mood board, such as girly illustration, Versailles, dessert and Paris. Since some Harajuku fashion details from these, and make them look like more girly. 

MAKING FACES

Be careful to observe some details in your life, and you will find that there are a lot of interesting things. This lesson the teacher showed us a lot different types of pictures, but they have a common point that looks like a face. In fact, in our life it is not difficult to find that there are a lot of mixed like face. One of the most common furniture is in our home, such as sometimes two lights below a sofa, walked away also looks like a smiling face. A table between the two windows, it seems that is a pair of eyes and mouth. This really is very interesting, as long as careful observation, there are so many stuff like this face. On condition there are two symmetrical eyes, a mouth below is okay. Sometimes it does not need a symmetrical pair of eyes, a big eyes and a small eyes combination, it is more interesting.

MAGNETIC POETRY

This week the teacher led us to play a game called MAGNETIC POETRY. The game looked easy, it will give us some words, and then let us put these words into a sentence or a story. Firstly, our group discussed how to use these words were spelled it into a story. When we played this game in the process, we found that this game was so hard. We spelled out the sentences were very funny and some was not accord with common sense. After every group showed the sentences and stories which they spell out. Some groups really smart, not only finished all the words that the game provided, but also spelled out a paragraph. Completed the team MAGNETIC POETRY, our teacher continued to increase the difficulty of the game, let the whole class together to play the game. A person for a word to spelled a few sentences. I think is the most easy to choose the first word, because he choose to have a larger range and he can choose the word what he what to choose. Finally we spelled out the five sentences, although these sentences were not very realistic, the process was very interesting. In the end, this MAGNETIC POETRY is my completed assignment alone.

FORCED CONNECTION

This week we learned something about forced connection. Then our lecture told us to choose one object and use 6 different adjective(passionate, sad, brave, creative, greedy, hardworking) to draw them. Miss Zel gave us some examples to let us understand what it means fast. 

Firstly I chosen the pencil, but I made a mistake. I just added some expressions on the pencil. Actually it didn’t mean forced connection, it only looked like cartoon. therefore, I gave up the pencil and I chosen the plug. Probably this was very hard work, and ‘sad’ was easier than others to come up. Because you can make it broken, then it looked like sad. We didn’t use some expressions, just we looked the object and we can feel the emotion about it. For me, I thought the ‘brave’ is the most hard to think. Finally I came up with power! If you want to be brave, maybe you need some power. The power about plug, I thought it come from the power supply. The strong electricity can mean the power and brave. 

At last, I learn how to preform objects emotion and they still keep their shapes from this lesson. It is so interesting and funny.

ANALOGICAL THINKING

In our daily life, sometimes we can find some interesting nature things. For example, the cloud, maybe in your eyes this is a normal cloud. However, if you see it more careful, then it looks like a gun. Do you think so? There are a lot of cloud like this one, but they don't just like gun. You can image them what you come up with something .  

Next product is a tree. This one it is easy to look like a face. It is so funny. 

There are various products like these in our life. Therefor, be careful and use your heart to feel your life. Then you can find lots of interests and add more colors in your life. Through these things we will find the power of nature is amazing, it not only has produced so many great things, but also enriches our imagination.

LATERAL THINKING

This class talked about some interesting questions. My new group members just are Rafaela and I. About these questions, there are not only one answer, you can say everything what you came up. Therefore, they are so casual and a little bit difficult.

The first question is ‘If you were alone in a deserted house at night, and there was an oil lamp, a candle and firework and you only have one match, which would you light first?’, and we thought ‘use match first, then light the other devices.’. There is not model answer. Probably the answer is true or not, but this is our thought. Later, Ms Tan continued giving us two questions like it. Fascinatingly, the final problem is a cat, and the question is ‘which side of a cat contains most hair?’. I came up with the answer so quick, ‘EVERYWHERE’. However, I was wrong. Because cats don’t have hair, they just have feather. 

After then, the lecture gave us nine dots, let us use one line to connect them. For Rafaela has known the answer before, we solved it faster than others. 

At last, there are so funny problems. You don’t need to consider them so careful, because the correct answer is that we believe.

BROKEN THE RULES II

This time I will discusse again on broken the rules, but not about my diploma major. Then I will introduct some unusual work of three designers.

The first one is Ashton Raggatt McDougall. Ashton Raggatt McDougall or ARM Architecture is a firm of architects based in Melbourne and Perth, Australia known for "architectural outspokenness”. Architects believe that Australian history by many different ethnic lines, different times, different places woven story, which is difficult to say who can clear the relationship. Therefore, the rope is wound into a knot as a museum metaphor and abstraction into building, created many unexpected visual effects excellent shape and space.

The next one is Akihisa Hirata who is famous in Japan. He designed showroom H, which is located in Niigata, is a small agricultural exhibition space to show Honda built by machines. Continuous space can not see through, and the looming multi-formed deep within the space, people attracted by its interior, while often are able to have a continuous new discovery. 

At last, this is the most avant-garde architectural history of Barcelona, the most crazy artist Gaudi's architectural works. He once said: "straight line belongs to humans, the curve belongs to God." In his works were almost no straight lines, mostly full of curves and organic patterns using the vitality of the object to form a building.
