7. Understand the topics

8. Visual Perception Speed Safety (masculine) Expression by color and design Speed Feminine Colors Tall

9. Drawing Ability & Skills Everyone has different style, master your own styles do not copy Simply practice, practice and practice! Have a control over your strokes, proportions, relative sizes and shapes Know your limitations, do not try to do things for the 1st time. Say if you know you cannot draw say a girl’s face either practice before or find alternatives. Sometimes it is not about how realistic it looks but is it adequate, minimal and communicates what you want to say

10. Creativity Wikipedia – “Creativity refers to the phenomenon whereby a person creates something new (a product, a solution, a work of art, a novel, a joke, etc.) that has some kind of value” I define this as some unobvious thinking or an act resulting something new and interesting. For CEED Be different! It’s not mathematic or a science or history problem, solutions are not same. Break Free! Do not confine yourself to regular practice. Examples: iPhone/Tablets without button pad, books to ebooks Creative problem solving - The 3 student story

11. Problem Identification and Analysis Every typical design problem has context, generally a user/actor, situation, environment, posture and more dimensions Analysis here is thinking about these dimensions w.r.t the problem given Problem identification however is finding the right problem or a priority problem before solving it Say if you have to develop a new bike think of these problems and think what will you solve here? Moving on the road Convertibility of Seats Need for Speed Air conditioning Protection from rain

12. Design Problem solving Concept and newness is very important Factors you think, problems you are solving and how you are solving Problem presentation Presentation of your solution THE FINAL DESIGN
