Evaluation

I wasn’t in class for this task but thought I would just give it a go at home. Overall I thought it was a great task that highlight the things that hold us back as designers. What I am taking from this task is to take risks and explore ideas that I may have thought were not possible or not good because you never know what could happen if you give things a chance. Also it reminds me that faultier and taking risks is good and is the best way to learn and find something new.
