This is our final work. Why we choose it? The concept is so common, but what make this difference is the technique. It is done with pure 2d digital painting, no photo and no effects are used. Whenever we see a good drawing, we get inspired, hence we hope this tell you that anything can be done when you have the determination to carry it out.


The two hand mean we are always bounded to media and technology.
Green color is to show that our relation with multimedia is as close as the relation of nature and man kind.
The digits 1010101011 that slowly zoom into the center means the up and down in our life, inspiration make things vary.

We like the idea of 4 and 7 the best. But we finally choose 7 because it means more. We have done some improvement on it. Move to the next post to see the final work and the video.

We produce too many sketch that we merely lost direction from our original statement.
However, each of us decide the best idea of our sketches and gather all and discuss which suit best with the idea.

1. Combination with of nature and technology.

Ape indicates evolution of human. Combination of animals means multi-talented. Overall, human can keep moving forwards is due to the existence of inspiration.

2. Inspiration grows from our soul.
A lock to indicate our willingness to approach the inspiration in our life. We might find our life difference when we get inspired.

3. Just an image that try to make others inspired.

4. Inspiration help us think out of the box.
5. Same idea, but difference drawings.


6. Inspiration enable an individual to think creativity. Trying to make a typography design, but seem like not going well.
7. Using the growing concept of a tree, and make it like something fresh.8. Again typography, but it requires really high details. Not rational for a simple project.

9. Eyes as the windows to learn through inspiration.10. Design concept for a clock. Showing the cycle of how inspiration changes from from sad to hope and otherwise.
11. Abstract approach. Basically, the concept is about neutons in our mind and growing.
- Personally , this is my favorite. It just show the Grow of idea. Simple and direct.

- Inside our mind is thousand of small cell that work together to inspire and be inspired.


- More abstract concepts which are not defined by the artist.

- Inspiration as electricity that give light to a bulb. Describe as getting ideas when inspiration comes.
- Simple as thinking out of the BOX.

There are much more, but we filter those not so good idea and upload only the average and good one.

Next will be the Best composition that we vote and choose for final.

We juxtapose inspiration with random words to a tree and a bird.


And we came out with 2 statements:
1. Inspiration is a form of freedom where ideas are unleashed like birds.
2. Inspiration is like a seed; it grows from one individual to another.

We decide to pick the 2nd statement and do another detail comparison.


The conclusion:
1. Green--> regeneration-->Inspiration is green, when we show our care to others.
1.1 grow--> Inspiration grows from one after another.
2. Nature-->Inspiration and creativity are closely related, just the relationship of human and nature.
3. Fresh @ oxygen-->When you can feel the breath of inspiration, you can produce good work.

So, our final statement is:
Inspiration links our mind to CREATIVITY.

Title:
Creative Multimedia and Inspiration.

Creative Multimedia is divided into two parts, which is the “Creativity” and “Multimedia”. It is often seen on television broadcast and normal people do not realize that. 3D and 2D animations, all types of game, all genres of song and also all kinds of video involve forms of interaction between the people and creative multimedia. Frequently we see commercials at everywhere, but how many out there realize that the commercials were designed thoughtfully by the Creative Multimedia designers that include web designers, photographer, 3D/2D artists, modelers, VFX multimedia artists, game developer artists, animators, photographers and etc.?

Multimedia designs involve many medium as we understand, and it could be delivered in both digital and traditional methods. Most of the time, the people from Creative Multimedia are required to think out of the box, creating something that is new and never done by anyone before. This process itself requires a heavy brainstorming of ideas, effective solutions, and insight. Hence, inspirations are important to designers to create an artwork that is attractive, remarkable, and solve problems for others. Let’s peer deeper into “Inspiration” that contains pure thoughtful ideas.

According to Dictionary.com, the definition of Inspiration is the process of making others to be excited, with new ideas to do or create something. Inspiration makes the impossible to be possible. The first airplane was created by the Wright Brothers and the inspiration was come from a bird they saw in the sky. Desire comes next after inspiration. In fact, desire manipulates many feelings and emotions that drive a person to achieve one thing. It makes you learn, self taught, and best, self-improving. The best outcome from having desire is success. We believe that, all things in the world, created by human beings were come from a tiny little bit of inspiration that came from nature, and then further developing the desire attached to the inspiration afterward.

Inspiration gives a better quality of life as the descendants of human being ancestors will always find ways to improvise what had been created. This is a positive action thought that will lead us to seek for solutions. As we turned into a solution-seeker, we will look at the examples created from others, and then learning from the mistakes happened before. Then, a better solution will appear, and we call that a new design. Inspiration could be delivered as a form of hope too. It motivates people to the path to success. In return, inspiration increases one’s self-esteem and eliminates the negative thoughts that created the slogan from Adidas – “Impossible is Nothing.”

The sources of inspiration could come from anywhere. They are all around us – Videos, words, music, arts, paintings, and etc. By looking at others’ works and also life experience, inspiration could be generated easily. Inspiration is a glimpse to the future. It makes thinker invents something based on a thought in the mind. It is a powerful tool that holds the key to alter the world – the community – the norm and the people around you. Inspiration is influential and contagious. It spreads among your friends, and anyone who are closed to you.

Inspiration initiates hope. It drives improvement to come in. It attracts positive thoughts. It makes you confident. It gives you the courage to break the rules. It changes your perception towards life. It alters your view and scope of life. It makes you learn to stop giving up. It allows you to have a different perspective and horizon in life.

Lastly, any one of us can be inspirations to somebody else, whether we know he/she or not. Hence, let us hand in hand create a better world full of inspiration.
