We did a group activity on brainstorming 101 ways to wear a shirt. Eventually, we picked out the top twenty that we thought was feasible and easy to present to the class. It was a very fun experience figuring out how we could manipulate a single shirt into different forms, some of which I initially thought was not even possible. It all started out with a brainstorming session where each and every one of us just blurt out the first thing that comes to mind. The first 50 were pretty ordinary ideas, but as it got towards the second half of the 101 ways, the ideas got more and more ridiculous and we had a great laugh about it. I guess that is how designers come up with brilliant ideas. They try to exhaust as many possibilities as they can think of possible, and eventually they will arrive at very creative ones. Each step towards the 101th way is one level more challenging to come up with something that outshines the last. Though some of the 101 ways we came up with were unfeasible, at least we had an idea that we can work with.
