Random Picture Association

We have another in class exercise.
It's about random picture association. It is said to be the hardest technique to learn and it seems like it.

So our exercise is to solve a problem by using a picture as an initial reference. Our problem is that we have to come up with a way on how to make people stop smoking. And we were given a picture of a traffic light.

We were told to do a mini mind map of the traffic light and then use the words that we came up with to find a solution for our problem.

This is the mind map of the traffic light that I made.



Using the word colour, the lecturer has given us the example. So we just have to come up with just the other three words. Metal, Dirty and Sign.

What we have to do is we have to create a solution using the word Metal, Dirty or Sign.
And I have come out with these design.

Word: Metal
Solution: Make it harder for people to smoke.
Ideas:

put a blocker in the cigarette bud to make it harder for smoker to inhale or make a holes so that what they inhale is more air than smoke

Word: Sign
Solution: Make a sign or picture so that when people sees it they will feel threaten or feel bad.
Ideas:

put a picture of a grave or "no smoking"sign

Word: Dirty
Solution: Make a "yucky effect" which means make it disgusting.
Ideas:

make the cigarette buds' texture kind of sticky or sandy so that it will annoy the smoker
