HW1: Observe the world around you. Your school, town, apartment, commute, and so on. Identify something that you think you can improve. These are things that bother you or gives you or other people discomfort. Take a photo of the object and place it on the left side of a power point slide. Illustrate the discomfort on the right side with a sketch. You may want to exaggerate the problem in your sketch.
Keep one discomfort per slide. You can make as many slides as you want but only have 1 minute to present all your discomforts. Bring to class a printed version of your slides.
