Snail

Snail used to be pest that invade our lawns and plants and eat the leaves, usually people pick them up and throw them away or use anti pest chemical to clean their gardens to be pest free. With the development of science and technology, snails become useful to our daily life. As an example snails now are being use as food in some culture, the slime are used to be a beauty treatment and the shells are used as necklaces, earrings and many other accessories. 

Yesterday on Wednesday, me and my class were shown many unique design that based on snails. I find it very interesting that a small creature like a snail could be used as a base of so many interesting and unique designs. What actually piqued my interest is on how many designers manage to create and developed their own original ideas into something so unique and different from other people. Most of the designs showed in class have their own features that make them stand out from the rest of the competitor in market.

Our assignment for today is to brainstorm ideas with snail as the topic. At first i thought this will be quite a hard task since i have to think of new possibilities on how to use snail as an everyday object that everyone can use. With the help of my teammates we managed to create more than 20 ideas, then we cross the most common ones and pick an idea that's really interesting to make. We choose headphones to be our main product. I think now there are less cute and interestingly designed headphones, so we designed our headphone to be as unique as possible and the final design will be revealed next week!
