• Bill Gates – behind “Microsoft”

Semua orang pasti tau Bill Gates. Dia adalah orang terkaya no.1 di dunia. Dia adalah salah satu dari founding fathernya Microsoft (perusahaan software komputer no1 di dunia). Pada masa mudanya dulu Bill suka sekali bolos sekolah, tidur di kelas, bahkan bill pernah masuk penjara akibat nyetir sambil ngebut padahal dia belum punya sim.hehe Bill menciptakan software pertamana ketika dia umur 13 tahun.*hebat. Di masa sma nya dia membuat usaha kecil-kecilan software dengan teman-temannya. Setelah berhasil masuk Harvard, 3 tahun kemudian Bill memutuskan untuk keluar, alasannya adalah agar ia lebih konsentrasi buat ngerintis Microsoft. Dan akhirnya pengorbanannya membuahkan hasil sebagai orang terkaya no.1 di dunia.

• Steve Jobs - behind “Apples”

Ini adalah saingan Bill Gates dalam usaha komputer. Dia juga sama-sama drop out kuliah demi usaha ini. Steve Jobs mendirikan Apple pada tahun 1976 bersama temannya Steve Wozniak. Tpi di tahun 1986, Steve Jobs resign dari Apple dan menyebabkan perusahaan tersebut hmpir bangkrut. Tapi di tahun 1997 Jobs kembali dan menyelamatkan Apple dengan mengeluarkan i-Pod yang laris hingga detik ini. Selain itu, Steve Jobs juga CEO dari Pixar Animation Studio. Ia tercatat sebagai orang terkaya no.140 di dunia.

• Tim Berners-Lee – behind “World Wide Web”

Awalnya Tim yang berkelahiran di Inggris tahun 1955 menginginkan agar seluruh komputer di dunia bisa berkomunikasi. Sebelum Tim menciptakan www, internet cuma bisa dipakai oleh para ilmuwan untuk penelitian. Tahun 1980, Tim mulai nyiptain konsep HTML (hyper textmarkup languange) yang menjadi bahasa komputer dalam berinternet. Dan akhirnya pada Agustus 1961 terciptalah website pertama secara online.

• Douglas Engelbart – behind “Mouse”

Karena beliau penggunan komputer menjadi lebih mudah. Dia membuat mouse pertama kali pada tahun 1963. Awalnya cuma terbuat dari kotak kayu yang dikasih dua roda. Lisensi penemuan ini kemudian beliau jual ke Apple Computer seharga 40000 us$!. Kenapa sih alat ini namanya mouse? Karena emang bentuknya mirip tikus dengan kabel sebagai buntutnya. Meskipun udah ada yang namanya wireless, tetap saja namanya tidak berubah. Mouse.

• Akio Morita – behind “Sony”

Sony didirikan tahun 1946, saast Akio Morita berumur 25 tahun. Sony adalah gabungan bahasa latin yaitu “Sonus” yang artinya suara, dan “Sonny Boy” yang artinya orang yang selalu sukses. Akio Morita terkenal dengan orang yang berkemauan keras. Saat mempunyai ide untuk bikin radi atau tape recorder yang compat dan bisa dibawa kemana-mana/portable, semua orang meremehkan beliau, tetapi di tahun 1979 beliau berhasil membuat idenya menjadi kenyataan dengan ditemukannya teknologi yang bernama music player portable  atau walkman yang legendaris.Sampai saat ini Sony sudah memproduce beberapa alat teknologi seperti laptop, televisi, handphone, dll.

I try to give my opinion about 10 paradoxes by Mihaly about creative people, and here the paradoxes and my opinions:

1.      Creative people have a great deal of physical energy, but they’re also often quiet and at rest.

Creative people mostly have a great deal with physical energy because they usually think out of the box and distribute their creative think by physic like using by their body language to represent their creative think. They also often quiet and I think the quietness of them means inside their mind they think something extraordinary.

2.      Creative people tend to be smart yet naive at the same time.

Creative people tend to be smart because they have unordinary thinking skills that can make them easier to understand something and maybe solving problem even though they do it in their own way and. They tend to be smart because they see something different and usually not in the same pattern. Because of that too they tend to be naïve at the same time. Usually they said anything that come to their mind but common people think what they say is not feasible.

3.      Creative people combine playfulness and discipline, or responsibility and irresponsibility.

Creative people combine playfulness and discipline. They play to get creative idea, to learn from something they don’t know, to get inspiration and dream something. They combine it with discipline in order to implement their ideas. A Creative people are responsible of what their ideas and its implementation, Irresponsible about their huge of creative thought which can be unpredictable and has no limit.   

4.      Creative people alternate between imagination and fantasy, and a rooted sense of reality.

I think everybody is live with imagination and fantasy. But creative people usually try to make their imagination achieved even though their imagination is not possible. Their sense of reality can make them try to make something impossible become possible. With creativity, the imaginations that you dream would become real.

5.      Creative people trend to be both extroverted and introverted.

Not all creative people follow trend to be both like that. They should not influence by trend, creative people should be just they are.

6.      Creative people are humble and proud at the same time.

It can be one of creative people typical. They usually do not want to show up and let other people judge their idea or creativity. An idea/creativity that can be accepted, brilliant, and based on their invention can make their proud at the same time.

7.      Creative people, to an extent, escape rigid gender role stereotyping.

Most of creative people escape rigid gender role stereotyping, because they want to have no limit in their creativity.

8.      Creative people are both rebellious and conservative.

Because they have an extraordinary idea and usually the creative idea is unusual for common people, it can lead they are rebellious. They want their unordinary idea accepted and they try to make it happen. Other people see this way as a rebel. Creative people belief in their idea and they think it is not impossible like other people though. They both have rebellious and conservative.

9.      Most creative people are very passionate about their work, yet they can be extremely objective about it as well.

Yes, they are passionate of their work. Because their work usually one kind of inventions of their thought, absolutely they enthusiast and have big passion to make it real. Surely they can be extremely objective about their work in order to make it extraordinary real.

10.  Creative people’s openness and sensitivity often exposes them to suffering and pain, yet also to a great deal of enjoyment.

The idea of creative people usually thought impossible by other people. They rejected and not well accepted can make them sensitivity. The process of implementation their idea or creativity can make them suffering and pain. But I think that creative people also have joy in each process and project they conduct.

Here is a quite interesting concept of Katharina Ludwig – Ice Jewelery! Ice Jewelery Concept emphasizes the water value to human existence. The designer’s idea is to contrast warmth of the human body and coldness of ice. Ice Jewelery melts down to delight your skin. This is where your body warmth comes to destroy the beauty expressing the supreme energy it possesses by melting the ice.

Ice Jewelery Collection includes earrings, rings, necklaces, etc. They vary in shape and design. Cubs, cup-like, oval shapes are characteristic. Also, Katharina Ludwig doesn’t make quite big difference among the jewelry she uses – she combines gold and ice, silver and ice, other metals are used too. Some of the pieces are designed to catch the remaining drops of water, others allow the ice to melt directly onto the wearer.

Of course, every time the jewelery melts it will have to be recreated. Thus you can try to be the designer of your own jewelery. The idea of melting jewelery is very sensual. This is more appropriate for a romantic date.

Zaman sekarang parfum ternyata gak hanya ada dalam botol-botol kaca yang rawan pecah jika dibawa bepergian, sekarang udah banyak banget parfum yang ada di dalam cincin. Ko bisa? iya, inovasi ini emang buat cewe yang suka praktis dan pengen selalu wangi. Merk-merk cincin parfum ada dari marc jacobs, Johanna Janson, versace, dll. Selain unik dan praktis, cincin parfum ini bisa dibawa kemana-kemana. Tetapi sayangnya gak semua model cincin cocok dengan outfit kita. Jadi sebaiknya pilih yang paling pas, agar serasi dengan gaya kita.

Lighted sajjadah or prayer rug – comes from a Turkish designer, Soner Özenç. The Britain-based designer uses light as an integral element in his imaginative creations. This modern piece that he calls Sajjadah 1426 (1426 is the year 2005 in the Islamic calendar), combines technology and the Muslim culture.

Sajjadah 1426 is a piece of art and a great example of the electroluminescent phosphor printing technology. It is also quite practical. It assists the person who performs the divine service of prayers, called namaz, not just by creating an amazing atmosphere, but by actually finding the right direction to pray towards.

With the help of an imbedded compass module, the lighted motifs of the rug turn brighter the closer the rug is turned toward the direction of Mecca. This modern sajjadah introduces a brand new experience in the daily performance of namaz.

Another light thing i write.hehe because I am very interest about lamp, candles, stars, and something that can shine in dark. Now, i interest about making a Clementine candles. This is a very traditional and unique way to make such a cute and smell candles.  I want to try this because I see the instruction in www.instructables.com is very easy cheesy. Here I want to share the instruction and lets try to decorate and have a citrus scent in your room!:)

Step 1
Prepare the stuff you need
-tangerine/orange
-knife
-olive oil/cooking oil
-lighter/match

Step2
Cut through the skin of orange around the circumstances.

Step 3

Carefully peel the skin of the orange, you can peel the top first and next the rest of the skin.

Step 4

Eat the fruit and enjoy!hehe

Step 4

Cut a whole in the middle of the half of the orange without stem. This hole allows the heat and flame to escape. For example: cut a star pattern.

Step 5

Take the olive oil or cooking oil and pour a small amount in the half of orange with the wick. You only need to fill the bottom with ¼ oil. Try to make your wick above the oil.

Step 6

Light your candle! Take a lighter and hold it to the wick. Because the wick is still slightly damp, you will need to hold the flame on it for a few seconds to dry it out and let it soak up the oil.

Once the wick stays lit by itself, place the other half on top and enjoy!!

subuh2 gini gw blm tidur gara2 bikin proposal TA.huhu deadline besok lagi.huaaa stress bgt, tapi tiba2 temen gw online dan mmberikan link ini. liat deh http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=IVrIV4SkXYY&feature=related HAHAHAHA kocak ga?? yah lumayan lah buat refreshing. ga cuma satu lagi yang mereka buat, dan yang gw salut mereka kadang2 ada yang niat gitu buatnya. kocak banget dah ni dua orang. ekspresif skalii dan membuat geleng-geleng kepala. hehe boleh lah iseng-iseng ngeliat beginian.. xP

Sebenernya apa sih lava lamp itu? Lava lamp itu adalah sejenis lampu dekorasi.Di dalam tabung Lava lamp itu dalemnya ada kaya lilin gitu tapi disebutnya sih lava trus ada air juga. Jadi cara kerja si lampu ini terjadi kalo dia dialiri listrik, lalu panas yang dihasilkan itu bisa ngebuat lava jadi meggumpal-gumpal trus bergerak-gerak deh ke atas ke bawah. 

Lava lamp pertama kali tercipta di inggris dan sang inventor  bernama Edward Craven Walker. Lava lamp tercipta  tahun 1963. Selain sebagai lampu dan hiasan, sekarang lava lamp juga dibuat sebagai USB. Hehe lucu deh usb lava lamp yang gw temuin di www.thinkgeek.com ini. Glitter warna-warni gitu.

Oia, pernah nih gw pengen banget punya lava lamp tapi ga pernah nemu yang gw pengen lagian gw ga gitu nyari-nyari juga sih, eh tapi tiba-tiba ada yang ngasih gitu trus dia buat sendiri loh lava lampnya. Emang beda banget sih, dan yang pasti bukan terbuat dari lava, tapi kalo kena lampu cahaya cairannya juga bisa bergerak-gerak ke atas ke bawah. Hehe terimakasih yaa atas kekreatifan kamu..hihi lava lamp nya terbuat dari bekas botol minuman keras trus cairan di dalemnya diduga adalah sabun ato lilin yang dicairin. Buar ngehasilin warna merah, di bawah botolnya ditempel kertas transparan warna merah gitu. Trus ditaro diatas box kayu yang didalemnya ada lampu kuning yang bisa diatur gelap terang nya. Hehe oke kan?haha kalo lampunya di nyalain, beberapa menit kemudian cairannya bergerak2 deh ke atas ke bawah.. nih ada gambarnya tapi kayaknya kurang begitu jelas..

Zaman sekarang udah banyak banget iklan-iklan yang kreatif dalam segi gambar dan penyampaian pesannya. Ternyata kreatifitas juga bisa dituangkan dalam membuat iklan yang menarik dan persuasif. See of these pic!

Lifebuoy Handwash

Di iklan sabun cuci tangan dengan tag line “You eat what you touch” ini, sang pembuat bisa aja bikin maksud supaya kita cuci tangan sebelum nyentuh makanan. Pengibaratan tangan yang kotor sama aja kaya tikus yang jorok menurut saya lucu bgt apalagi tikusnya dibentuk seolah-olah cupcakes. hehe

Harley Davidson

 ”Stop Dreaming”. Only harley davisdson can make it real. hmm mungkin itu maksud si pembuat iklan. Di iklan ini digambarkan orang yang lagi megang kursi roda bermimpi kalo ia sedang naik harley. Kreatif dalam pengibaratan dan maksud iklannya.

Shcick

haha ini sedikit berlebihan sih, tapi lucu ko. Sampe jenggot di tato pun bisa ke cukur dengan kekuatan 4 siletnya. hehe

kalo yang ini iklan Indonesia gitu sih, tentang anti rokok. kreatif banget dengan nyamain tagline kaya produk-produk rokok tapi dengan perbedaan gambar, tagline dan pesan yang malah memberi inspirasi agar orang berhenti/menjauhi rokok.

Jadi, dibalik kreafitas ide-ide iklan yang sekarang semakin unik dan variatif pasti ada pesan tersembunyi yang ingin disampaikan. Asal kita pintar membaca, pasti ngejadiin iklan itu makin menarik dan terinspirasi.

For me, there are so much creative people in the world. But now, I am thinking of someone that makes me thankful that god give him an inspiration to make this addicted thing called “instant noodle”. Yes, I think the founder of instant noodle is very creative person. Do you know who the founder is? The founder of world’s first instant noodles and cup noodles is Momofuku Ando.

Momofuku Ando was the Taiwanese and Japanese founder and chairman of Nissin Food Products Co. Ltd., one of the biggest manufacturers of instant noodles today. He was dubbed as Mr. Noodle and The Noodle Papa. The history of instant noodle is beginning after the World War II, Japanese people are hungry, and war left the nation with food shortages. Ministry of Health tried to encourage people to eat bread made from wheat flour that was supplied by the United States. Ando wondered why bread was recommended instead of noodles, which were more familiar to Japanese people. So, Ando decided to develop the production of noodles by himself. The experience convinced him that “Peace will come to the world when the people have enough to eat”.

On August 25, 1958, at the age of 48, and after months of trial and error experimentation to perfect his flash-frying method, Ando marketed the first package of precooked instant noodles called Chicken Ramen. His noodles were boiled with flavoring, deep-fried with palm oil to remove moisture, and dried into a noodle cake.

Then in September 18, 1971, Ando began the sales of his most famous product, Cup Noodles with the masterstroke of providing a waterproof polystyrene container.

Why I think he’s creative?
