7 Creative Strategies
This project required students to visually represent an everyday object using seven creative design strategies. Brainstorming, sketching, and going on a visual exploration for images really helped me to develop a series of digital compositions which achieved the project goal. This project has helped me come to know and understand how to make creative design solutions through refinement and communicate worthwhile ideas.
Combination Visual Concept
This strategy is about bringing together two different or unrelated things to create a new object that still makes some sort of sense.
Juxtaposition Visual Concept
This strategy is more about contrast, i.e. showing the differences between two things rather than their similarities.
Isolation Visual Concept
This strategy focuses the viewer on an element in a composition by separating it visually from its surroundings or other objects.
Metaphor or Simile Visual Concept
This strategy is focused on the meaning of the image created with your object as it relates to something else.
Change of Context or Environment Visual Concept
This strategy contrasts objects with unnatural or uncommon environments to highlight a concept or communicate an idea.
Physical Shape Similarity Visual Concept
This strategy uses physical similarities to showcase connections between objects that normally don’t connect.
Material Change, Swap or Focus Visual Strategy
This strategy swaps a material property that we are accustomed to with another.
