CTS 002 :: So hey! How do we Brainstorm?

Basically, Mr Charles had taught us the six thinking hats theory, in which the colours: black, blue, yellow, brown, red and green, are used for brain storming purposes. In order for us to actually brainstorm effectively, we were taught to speak, throw out each other's ideas, argue, and mainly record everything down. However, how do we actually record it down in such a way that would make us remember our (literally) mind-blowing sessions? 

We'll get to that later. Mhmm. Well anyway, after being briefed on how to actually brainstorm using the six thinking hats theory, we were asked to do an exercise on our brainstorming abilities as a group. The main topic (as suggested by Chia from L.E.A.D.S) given was: how to make something out of underwear. Ah! The agony of it.. We proceeded with our brainstorming anyway, with a time limit of only five minutes! 


After our five minutes ended, we were asked to pick three interesting ones but eventually we were to end up with one most interesting idea we could come up with. From there, all groups had to brainstorm based on our chosen ideas: 
We settled down with one topic and eventually brainstormed about it. As seen in the photo above, by using the six thinking hats theory: brown coloured marker is used to highlight the main idea right in the middle of the whole paper, yellow representing the positive traits of our idea, black as negativity, red to list all the emotional effects it would bring to oneself, blue to list down all the formal/legal effects, white/grey to list down the main points of all our researches and last but definitely not the least, green, to expand our creativity range regarding the main topic. 

A good session, I suppose, but it doesn't end there itself. Mr Charles finally uploaded our 2nd brief of the challenge which our group have creatively (cutely teehee) placed side by side as a reference while discussing after class: 
Mhmmmmmmmm like bosses yo!
No. Just kidding. Here's the brief itself in its real form which Mr. Charles had uploaded to FID's page.
So to sum it up, we've currently been assigned to two challenges: one of the life sized game, and the other, of a music video. Could this be a pun on the challenge name itself? Challenge one for one number of challenge, and challenge two for two challenges to be commenced at one go? 

Well, as famously quoted by our dear Mr. Charles, 
"What do you think?

Teehee!
