Choose two different animals, combine and merge their characteristic together to make an new animal that people didn't see it before. Draw a picture for it. The chosen animals must be the animals that can't live when they stay together.
These are what I came up with:
Cobra + Ostrich
Tortoise + Snail
To create "Scary Image or Object" that will instil fear among people throughout the ages.
Random words: Kitten.
Words that I can use when I think of a Kitten:
Association:
1. Cunning: Cats that live behind my house are always cunning especially when it comes to food. They could wait for hours and when you’re not aware they would just jump through the window and steal the fish.
2. Cruel: I once saw a cat playing with a mouse it caught. It was really cruel because the cat never ate the mouse but it was tiring it by letting the mouse run and catching it back. The mouse became a toy rather than food.
3. Hot-tempered: Cats, they are always fighting for nothing. They could just happen to be walking pass one another and they could start a fight for no reason.
4. Claws: Cats like to claw on pillows and sofas and soft toys, its irritating when you look at the cotton mess son the floor after what the cat has done.
This is a sketch of my Kitten:
You’re so hot and spicy,
Yet you are so lovely.
Wets my eyes at first site,
But it’s love at first bite.
Time Vs. Life
Growing up through time was easy,
Time just flew on by,
The years begin to fly,
You’ve aged and so did I.
Ice Cream Vs. Pain
A little puts a smile on my face,
And it taste better with some maize.
But too much will hurt my gum,
Leaving a sore pain and making me numb.
2. The lightning struck the tree.
3. The flower was eaten by then spider.
Then we had to combine the words.
1. Flower-tree
2. Lightning-tree
3. Flower-spider
"Chances come to everyone but not everyone see it because they not have the knowledge."
"Chances only come to the people who have knowledge."
"Without knowledge we wont find the chances"
When to use it?

Use it to re-ignite creative thinking when you are running out of ideas.
Use it to get people out of a rut when their thinking is still rather conventional.

How to use it?
1. Find a random word - Find a random word that will be used as a stimulus for new ideas. You can do this in a number of ways, including.
Good random words are (a) evocative and (b) nothing to do with the problem being considered. Ambiguity also helps. Nouns are usually best, but verbs and adjectives can also be used effectively.
2. Find associations
3. Use the associations to create new ideas
Example:
How to make a person to stop smoking in 6 months time?
Random word : Traffic Light
- Colour
- Price
- Thin
- Awareness
Association:
Colour: We can use colors to indicate dangers. The red colour indicate most danger follow by yellow colour and green colour.While the smokers see the colours he/she will think about the dangers he/she will face and slowly stop smoking.
Price: We can increase the price of amercement not the cigarette price so when they smoke in the non-smoking area they will get the high price amerce.
Thin: Make the cigarette's material become thin so the smoker will become weariness to smoke.
Awareness: Create an awareness image on the cigarette skin and show that smoking will not make people become slim and yet it will make our lungs to become dark and also ugly .
Conclusion: So, people won't buy it if the colour of the cigarette's smoke is in colour and they won't be taking risk to do that .
What is Juxtaposition?
Definition of Juxtaposition
A placing or being placed in nearness or contiguity, or side by side; as a juxtaposition of words. The act of juxtaposing is to place two objects or word next to each other.
When 2 things put side by side, your brain try to figure what is the relationship between these 2? What automatically happens is that there is transference of meaning.
Usually from something familiar to something less familiar.
Visual Puns:Creating an artwork in which several visual form which look alike are connected and combined so as to bring out 2 or more possible meaningful. Visual puns are lower version of visual metaphor.

Similes:

is a comparison of things that are essential dissimilarity but are shown through the analogy to have some similarity.A form of logical inference or an instance of it, based on the assumption that if 2 things are known to be alike in some respects then they must be alike in other aspects. There are two types of Analogy:
-Logical analogies
[eg. A bird can compared to an aeroplane because both can move on air]
- Affective analogies
[eg. The Constructive worker are Hardworking as ant.]
