I wonder if students often hear a word "effective makeup vs. ineffective makeup" recently. This topic has been hot on microblog for a while~

As far as makeup is concerned, no one can distinguish between invalid and effective definitions. In our art students abroad, there is also the concept of effective and invalid, which is particularly reflected in the concentration of works. "Inspiration" is the most critical source of the creation of the collection of works. There is no inspiration when creating, and there is no way to create without inspiration; But too many inspirations are easy to confuse and finally form invalid inspirations.

In the creation process of the collection of works, there are not a few students who are confused by "invalid inspiration". Faced with the emergence of small ideas, students who do not know how to select and reasonably use them are likely to fall into a creative "dead end". So how to deal with the "critical attack" of invalid inspiration is the topic we want to discuss today~so Natural Light selects the creative experience of several students' works to help them avoid these problems.

Effective inspiration for systematic implementation

"I was studying clothes. I thought I had a lot of inspiration. I wrote a thick book of inspiration, but I was worried when I started to make a collection of works

Although I have some artistic foundation and have the habit of accumulating various materials and looking for inspiration at ordinary times, for the creation of works collection, my scattered inspiration can not form a systematic and complete works collection project.

In addition, it is difficult for me to present these inspirations into visual works. It is not enough to have inspiration alone, because It's easy to consume more ineffective energy and can't screen out effective inspiration sources "

The inspiration of the collection of works is the most important factor for students. During this period, most students must have I have accumulated hundreds of inspiration, but I still can't make a good collection of works How can we get inspiration from ourselves and develop into Effective project theme?

This student's problem must have been met by many people. First, no matter what direction it is Inspiration needs correct guidance This is crucial to the presentation effect of the collection.

However, it is difficult to predict the emergence of inspiration. Usually, students adopt the strategy of waiting for the hare, but the result is always nothing. But in fact, as long as students master the method, they can accurately predict, judge, and even control the emergence of inspiration. For example, staying focused and thinking can solve this problem on a large scale. At the same time, expand your vision beyond the profession, so that you can have a better effect on the transformation of inspiration.

The entry point of perspective in effective inspiration

　　 Natural light student - Yu

"I am a graphic design major. Although I have a lot of unconstrained thinking in the collection of works, the teacher's advice is that it is too vague and difficult to implement.... Especially in the process of later projects, there are still many problems. The teacher said that although the works are very innovative, there is still a lack of" hand skills ", and the production of works is relatively difficult

For example, in the previous typesetting course, the professional teacher asked me to design five different styles of posters with the same theme, but it was difficult for me to jump out of the framework and express my personal ideas directly. So I found that inspiration alone is not enough to support the output of my entire collection of works ... Finally, I found that inspiration is useless, ineffective or ineffective.... "

In addition to the effective implementation of inspiration, Simply relying on inspiration as the foundation of creation is actually an "invalid" level Why do you say that? Because in the context of knowledge sharing, your inspiration and creativity may have been used countless times by predecessors, and even may be judged as plagiarism in the final submission stage. How can it be regarded as an effective inspiration if a new entry point is not found at this moment?

First of all, people's cognition is limited, especially in the study abroad circle Themes/forms are widely used . If there is not enough content to support creation in the process of inspiration generation, this seemingly novel inspiration will become invalid "content".

But in this case, Students need not rush to deny their inspiration If we borrow the experience of "predecessors" as the divergent point of thinking, combine our own situation and the latest intelligence research, and then through reasonable guidance, we will have clearer logic and perception observation at the entry point of inspiration.

Integrate logic to form effective inspiration

　　 Natural light student - Xue

"I have a lot of ideas about interaction design. During the creation of the collection of works, I found that these ideas are more based on the" beautiful imagination "of the profession itself When it really came to the stage of works collection, it almost collapsed, which was not what I imagined.

I realized this problem when the natural light teacher asked me to integrate these inspirations with my imagination, It is also important to integrate inspiration properly and have clear logic ”

How to distinguish the effective inspiration from the ineffective inspiration? The level beyond the inspiration extension is the creation process of the work collection. If the inspiration is not distributed logically, it is easy to get into the creation bottleneck. This kind of creative method without clear creative logic and purpose will make your creative process extremely tortuous. In this process, The key is to integrate logic to form effective inspiration 。

In this process, it is important to emphasize the production of sketchbook. As a medium for recording inspiration and divergent thinking, any content related to the theme can be drawn on it without any restrictions. Inspiration, creativity, conception, test model, material test, collage, sketch... can all be shown, and try to do everything in detail.

In addition, it is the integrity of the collection, not only in terms of inspiration or style iteration, but also in terms of a more complete creative vision to examine every part and every detail, so that the collection can be read as a whole in one go. Only by adding a complete set of works logic to the inspiration can it really attract the attention of the admissions officer 。

Finally, the concept of effective inspiration or invalid inspiration is not so absolute, but students need to avoid invalid inspiration in all result oriented creation.

How to distinguish effective inspiration from ineffective inspiration? In the process of creating a collection of works, students cannot simply create for the purpose of reviewing the collection of works, which will make the admissions officer confused about your work. What we should do is to give full play to the most important inspiration, Transform really good inspiration into excellent visual works ！
