Seven Creative Strategies
Welcome. For this project I use a common household item, a hair comb, to create new images with meaning. Using Adobe products helps effectively demonstrate the following 7 creative strategies: combination; juxtaposition; isolation; metaphor or simile; change of context/environment; physical/shape similarity; and material change, swap, or focus.
The following are the compositions:
Combination: This is taking two different items and putting them together to create something.
Juxtaposition: This is taking two different items and highlighting the differences between them.
Isolation: This is taking the selected item and showing it compared to other unrelated items.
Metaphor or Simile: This is looking at the meaning of the selected item as compared to other items.
Change of Context/Environment:
This is comparing the item with something, or an environment, that is not typical to showcase an idea.
Physical Shape Similarity:
This is taking the physical definitions or shape of the selected item and finding other items that are similar and connecting them that way.
Material Change, Swap, or Focus:
This is taking the item and exchanging the material it typically has with something else.
