Tourist Souvenir

First we looked at what each other had brought. There were a wide variety of souvenirs, typical things really. Then we got into groups and used the Kipling Method (also known as the 6 Thinking Men or 5 W's & 1 H) http://creatingminds.org/tools/kipling.htm to generate as many questions as possible about the object. The questions all start with either: Who, What, Where, When, Why and How. The aim was to start with obvious questions and then keep going till you're asking stranger and stranger questions. We didn't try to answer these questions -we just wrote down as many as possible. We then combined 3 of the more interesting questions together to create a 3 Question brief. By asking questions and putting them together you can co-create a brief with the client to give you a framework to work within. The final thing we did was to choose either the 3 Question Brief or one of the Concept Challenge ideas to generate visual ideas of a new way of designing, making and thinking about London Tourist Souvenirs. We generated a quick yet professional visual prototype to show each other. You then showed these to each other and provided feedback on the ideas presented.
