The aim is to be able to think beyond the obvious and think to the future if present day restrictions were not in place how could you solve the problem...there should be no limits to your creativity here. The ideas you come up with are unlikely to be realistic right now but they might allow you to think differently and consider a realistic version or inspire a different solution.

​

For example:

​

Design Brief 

design a product to help someone with arthritis find it easier to write.

​

Blue Sky solution 

the user can think what they want to write, a pen can pick up what the user is thinking and writes it down in the users own handwriting style.

Although the above solution is a little extreme and will need a number of developments in technology it might lead/inspire a solution that is realistic...

​

Realistic solution: 

an app that listens to what the user says and then writes it in their own handwriting style that can then be printed off if needed
