There are many others that i’m not remembering right now but you get the idea. People find inspiration from this course in a myriad of ways. All are perfectly fine design projects – you do not need my explicit approval. Think of it like a research project that you have full creative ability over. This is your opportunity to express what you have learned in this course in your own creative way that is related to at least one of the course learning objectives.
