Brainstorming Exercise

Justin Bernard

We are now entering the brainstorming phase of the design process! How goal is to be as generative as possible and express our ideas visually using drawings and models!

In teams of two, you will generate as many ideas for future transit systems as possible. The purpose of these transit systems will be to move a product from Destination A to Destination B. The transit system should incorporate renewable energy resources as the primary energy source.

Discussion: What is brainstorming? How do we brainstorm? 


Exercise

Step 01 - In teams of two generate a list of 25 unique items that can or have to be transported. Write your list on a sheet of paper.  Be generative.
