Day 1

On day one we learned 2 of the most important words of the semester, Divergent and Convergent (thinking).

Divergent thinking is a cognitive process aimed at generating multiple, unique ideas or solutions to a problem. It involves exploring various possibilities rather than searching for a single correct answer, often leading to innovative and creative outcomes. (Multiple web sources)

Convergent thinking is the cognitive process of narrowing down multiple ideas or solutions to find the best, well-defined solution to a problem. It typically involves logical reasoning and is often applied in situations requiring a correct answer, such as standardized tests.

(Multiple web sources)

Some questions were used as examples of how to think in both of these ways, including the one that majorly stood out as quite extraordinary, "How Many Ways Can You Shave A Monkey?" This question forced us to come up with as many different fast ways to shave a monkey, some more questionable than others, yet we found many ways in a short period of time, which was after all the point of this activity, to build a solid foundation and understanding of what this course consists of.

(Three Calloway SuperSoft Color Performance Balls and complimentary magnet)

# data[].attributes.body
Today we received a sheet of balls, and were told to color in and make them into a real-world 'thing'. My partner and I ended up with 3 Calloway Golf Balls, which we then needed to turn into a saleable product along with a pitch. Our pitch was that along with buying our 'Calloway SuperSoft Color Performance Balls' then you would also receive a complimentary fridge magnet customizable to a picture of your favorite/most frequented golf course/driving range! We think this was to allow us to be able to pitch on the spot and become more creative thinkers, and begin to develop 'out of the box' thinking.

Today we studied a lot on empathy and sympathy and what both mean:

Empathy is the ability to understand and share another person's feelings and experiences by imagining what it would be like to be in their situation. It involves being aware of, sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the thoughts and emotions of others.

Sympathy is a feeling or expression of understanding and caring for someone suffering or facing difficulties. It reflects a genuine concern for their pain or problems.

We spoke in pairs about each other's weekends and then completed empathy maps on what happened on the weekend and learned about what they can do when trying to learn about your customer/partner/accomplice.

The Fridge-scision maker is a majorly hi-tech fridge that is around 2.5 meters tall with a screen on both sides and when the right side is knocked on twice, a screen will appear that has 4 links, one that allows you to see, on a list what you can make with the food ingredients inside the right of your fridge and drinks on the left. The second link takes you to a survey to receive instant data for how you feel in the moment and gives you food suggestions if you knock on the right and drink if you knock on the left. Also if you are just too lazy to even complete a survey but are ok with waiting 20 minutes, the 3rd link will take you to the McDonald's lunch menu because we all know that the breakfast menu is the most bland taste pallet ever. (Cooper works at Mcdonalds so that was the fast food of choice)

Finally, if you click on the fourth link, it will take from the survey or just bring up multiple major supermarkets, you place an order, and it will order food for you and have it put through your garage in a chute that is easy to install, sort your ingredients and drinks.

Finally, if you click on the fourth link, it will take from the survey or just bring up multiple major supermarkets, you place an order, and it will order food for you by the same delivery service and have it put through your garage in a chute that is easy to install, sort your ingredients and drinks.

So whether you are a foodie, indecisive, or just plain lazy like Cooper, the fridgescision is the fridge for you!

What you just read was the script I had used to pitch my idea for indecisive hosts, like Cooper, who want their friends to have a good time but don't want to decide on a meal out of respect. This task was to allow us to see how we could appeal to our customer and be of aid to common world issues, which will create a foundation for the year 10 product design course.

Throughout the entirety of week three, we completed a spin-off task, where we got into groups and tried to find problems within our local community. The problem my group found was that the locals often abandoned shopping trolleys, we are currently in the stage of creating some solutions with some intuitive ideas on the way, we have researched many problems and the trolleys were the most problematic. Some ideas include an app or trackers due to the town's small size.

Throughout week four, we were working on persuasive techniques like ethos, pathos, and logos. The task had us create a presentation on sea turtles and how they are affected by plastic waste. The example of our script above shows how we had used these devices to make the listener and reader feel emotions for the turtle, and make them more likely to act on how they manage their waste. After being created, we had performed it in front of the class and had received feedback and learnt how we could have improved our incorperation of the devices.

After finalizing our script for our spin off project on the trolley extravaganza in sterling, we began filming, using a trolley, and me as what was effectively a crash test dummy, adding elements of humor yet keeping on topic and getting our point across clearly about the dangers, risks and consequences of trolley dumping. We then began on a solution where we came up with a wheel that activates a full lock up brake once the trolley exits a certain distance and zone from the store it belongs to. The store will be given access to an app that displays a live feed of every trolley, it's location and other useful pieces of information.

Here is the script used for our spin off project, with each scene and line clearly shown, explained, and what eventually became a great execution.

In the first lesson of this week we did an exercise where we were given a really flawed or even unsellable product, and were told to pitch it as a new invention, we got glasses that made it hard to see, and we pitched them as a substitute for wlding masks, using humor and factual evidence we sold the product professionally as we could and received good feedback for the final presentation.
