Blog #39

    This time I decided to switch it up and try a creative thinking exercise called “The Superpower Swap.”

Here’s how it works:

  1. You take a classic superpower.

  2. You give it to someone totally unqualified to use it.

  3. Then, you build a story or character around the chaos that would unfold.

For this round, I picked: Invisibility
And gave it to: A person with zero impulse control.

Here’s what happened in my head:

  • This person immediately becomes the most unpredictable prankster alive. Not because they want to be evil—just because they think every single idea they have is hilarious.

  • They’re invisible, but not silent—so now they’re constantly caught snickering in the middle of their own stealth attempts.

  • They’d use their power for the dumbest stuff: stealing snacks from convenience stores, sneaking into concerts, or messing with politicians for fun.

  • But eventually, the power backfires. Maybe they forget how to turn visible again. Maybe people start blaming them for crimes they didn’t do. That’s where the real story kicks in.

By the end of the exercise, I had a full anti-hero origin story built around someone who started out as a walking mess and slowly learns what responsibility means. Kind of like Deadpool meets the Invisible Man.

What I love about this exercise is how quickly it creates fun chaos. If you're ever stuck on a character idea or just want to break out of the usual superhero clichés, this method pushes you into unexpected—and hilarious—territory. Seriously, try it. Pick a power. Give it to the worst person for the job. Then watch the creative mess unfold.

Magazine ads

Magazine ads      This first ad uses icons like the PlayStation controller as well as the Switch to show what consoles the esports team uses. I also used the Smash bros and Overwatch logos to help me with this as well.  The next 2 are the same ad are of a library. The reason they are the same is because one is resized to be a full-sized page and quarter page. This ad is also for esports team again I used game play from the latest Fortnite season I used the blue background to compliment the blue text and whilst it didn't come out very visible, that fine because the ESPORTS letters in white came out super visible which was my true goal.

Designing the experience

Image
 Touchpoints     My restaurant, Cafe of Hope, has some unique touchpoints not seen in very many other restaurants. The first one that comes to mind are the employees. This is because the gimmick of the restaurant shapes each experience with an employee into a unique roleplay game. I created this touchpoint because I see as a fun, little game that can be played by both the customer and employee. Next, would be the tables themselves and anime poster around the restaurant. I created this touchpoint because they would be promoting not only the anime's represented by the restaurant but also the restaurant itself.  There are a few other obvious touchpoint like the restaurant business card and any tableware that we might want to put our brand on like the bottoms of plates.

  Horror Movie Poster Project     Below is the poster I made for a fictional horror movie called "Horror Island". The "cast" include my cousin, Isaiah, our friend, Joseph, and my 2 brothers, Eddie and Nick.

Little did they know, this island is filled with horrible monsters that want them dead. Legends say not even the mightiest soldiers can survive a week.
