First Post about product ideas

Last friday we did a creative business activity.

We were asked to divided into a small group and create a product using three random chose items, my group chose a belt, a kerchief, and a shoes fixer which helps your shoes become flat.
It was quite difficult to come up an idea with these three items, because it seems no connection between them.

At first, both of us don't have any ideas on how to combine those confused items into one, but we've just got 15 minutes to design it, in such rushing time, we keep sharing our ideas even its not possible at all, but my group-mates will keep on thinking about the impossible ideas, to see can we find out any possibility on it, finally, we tend to make it become a product for sport after our discussion.

Let me explain more, its a product for kids, imagine the shoes fixer putted on the shoulder for absorb vibrate when they are doing sports, the belt and the kerchief is like a mail, its a kind of clothing that putting on the front to protect themselves, reduce to chance of getting hurt. I know its quite difficult to visualize this products from words since you haven't seen it before, its a product that are not really realistic. Ahh, so just try hard to imagine it.

This activity are very interesting, it comes up some crazy ideas like putting the shoes fixer on the shoulder, that is the things used in daily life but we haven't thought to have others purpose before, creative can let an object become multi-purpose, sharing our crazy ideas are lovely, lots of fun was brought during the discussion. Hope to have some more activities like this, so we can learn through interesting way but not the normal formal one.
