For assignment two we were asked to make connections between design and the book 'The Tipping Point'. For the first part we were told to work in a group and brainstorming each chapter in the book to make the connections between different aspects of design that relates to each of the chapters. I found this very interesting and wasn't aware of all the different areas and the vast range of these that actually relate to design.
For the second part of the assignment we had to in group discuss how design can contribute to all of the connections we make in the brainstorming session and come up with new, innovative design ideas and solutions connected to the chapters we looked at. The ideas we came up with included aspects like an i-pod that you control and can download on to through peoples brain waves. Another idea included a map made out of fabric to enable people to easily look at and fold away and use. One other idea that we thought of was a new voting system for television soaps.
For my idea we discussed the concept of a new way of using and storing catalogues. The new idea is where a catalogue is sent out on a compact disc and the disc is then used as an 'E-catalogue'. Which is similar to the e-reader which is used for books. However the e catalogue differs as it would enable the consumer to easily load the catalogue that would be on a disc without the need for a computer. They can then easily look through the catulogue and be able to see samples and
up close details. They can then also simply order their items through this product.
