Assignment 1
Keep a design notebook. This is a notebook where from now you will record all
your ideas, creativity thinking, projects, and anything under the subject of
creativity or innovation. This could either be a real notebook or a digital one.
B. According to you what are the top five innovations in the last 100 years. Give
a short reason as to why you think they deserve to be in the top five. An
innovation could be a product, process or service. If I were you, I will look at

C. When you say ‘Logo’, what do you visualise? Draw your Logo. Your logo is a
representation of who you are. It is a totality of your strengths, your
weaknesses, your likes, dislikes, hobbies, dreams. It can be elaborate, or it
can be very simple. It can be descriptive and complex, or it could be a tiny
dot. It is something that sets you apart, something that identifies your
uniqueness. The beauty of a logo is that no two logos are the same. Draw a
logo that is truly you.
The interesting thing is logos change over time. (Mine used to be a tennis ball,
but now it is something else.) Once you have drawn your logo keep it safe and
see if it changes over time. Show your logo to your family and have fun.
