    Today I tried a exercise called "The Product Pitch from Another World".

Here's How It Works:

  1. Pick a completely normal object from real life.

  2. Pretend you’re a salesperson from a fantasy, sci-fi, or alien world trying to sell it.

  3. Explain what it is, how it works, and why it’s revolutionary in that world—even if it’s totally mundane to us.

The object I chose: Umbrella

My Setting: A medieval fantasy realm where weather is controlled by angry sky spirits.

“Behold! The Skydome of Calmtide!”

Are you tired of being drenched by the relentless wrath of the Cloud Lords? Sick of soggy scrolls and damp tunics ruining your market strolls? Then rejoice, traveler, for the Guild of Unorthodox Inventions presents: the Skydome of Calmtide!

Forged from the hide of a celestial bat and bound with flexible bones of the Wind Serpent, this elegant dome-shaped shield springs forth at your command. With the mere push of a button—yes, BUTTON!—the Skydome expands, creating an invisible pact between you and the weather spirits. They’ll pour their fury upon the masses, while you remain untouched, protected by ancient craftsmanship and subtle bribes built into the enchantments.

Worried about portability? Fear not! When the sun dares return, the Skydome folds down into a charming wand-sized rod—perfect for strapping to your belt or hiding in your boot.

Available in three finishes: Raven Night, Sunset Blood, and Arcane Beige.

This exercise is a ridiculous amount of fun because it flips your brain into worldbuilding mode without starting from scratch. It takes something boring and forces you to look at it with weird, magical, or futuristic eyes.

You end up building tech, lore, and tone—all in one shot. Try it with something basic like a stapler, a spoon, or a flashlight. I promise you’ll surprise yourself.

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.
