For the first night of the project, our group took three generic words as our starters for the mind maps, we had branched out to what is seen in the image of one that I had kept.

Group Mind Map

We then came up with our original list of 25 items. I believe we got carried away with our results, which I later revised to add a little over 10 of my own ideas pulled out from the Mind map made by the group, and an alternate one that I had made.

My Item Pairings:

I created my list of thumbnails with the combinations listed on the right side of the first page, and each combination has two alternate designs.

My Favorite Tool Designs:

These four item pairings seemed to be the most charming tool creations to me.  Namely the banana holster as well as the Pen/light bulb combination. I felt that they had some cool use to them, but they looked fun above all. The first two images were based off of the idea of a Swiss army knife, or the shape of both a smart phone and a deodorant case.

My Top Ten Choices:

Sock+Banana

Holster/or sock +Banana

Toothbrush+Gun

Scissor+knife

Pen+flashlight

Umbrella+screwdriver

Scissor+toothbrush

Screwdriver+hammer

Hammer+wrench

Wheelbarrow+bayonet

Phone+deodorant

Skillet+Sword

Propeller+backpack

I feel that out of my whole list of pairings, these will be the most fun, perhaps practical, maybe more comical all at the same time.
