First session

Come up with conceptual illustrations using combinations of these ten random words:

For now, quantity is more important than quality, try to fill up your pages with dozens of ideas without censoring yourself—allow the ideas to be obvious, banal, stupid, impenetrable, ridiculous, obscure—suspend your judgement for the time being and notice how your brain works and how it makes connections.

For the next session you should bring at least:

  1. One idea using 1 word
  2. Two ideas using a 2-word combination
  3. Three ideas using a 3-word combination

Don't be literal with the words, but do make sure that they are somehow interpreted. Remember that this is not an actual job, and the purpose of this assignment is to allow your mind to wander and to practice the strange craft of coming up with ideas, which will serve you when the parameters are more rigid.

Which makes 6 sketches at least. These sketches should be reasonably refined and readable, but not polished.
