4 levels of brainstorm
1 2 3 4
1 - Warm-up
3 rules of any warming-up
1) Warming-up subject = brainstorm subject
2) No BAD and GOOD ideas
3) Playful and diverse
Antiphrases
• Nothing that dims is not a silver;
• Worse earlier than forever;
• Good history stays slow;
• Two pears at night brings the killer closer.
Empathy
Drawing doodles1. Draw everything that comes to your mind (2-3 mins);
2. Pass the result to the person sitting left to you;
3. Continue drawing what they passed to you (2-3 mins);
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you get your original paper back.
