Transcript
I'm going to let you in on the secret of how to get really juicy ideas even if you're not that creative. It's literally one of the easiest methods around, and it's called component alteration. Every single product consists of components, and all you need to do to create something wildly new is to change one of those components. Like, what if you turned the holster of a lighter into a mushroom, or made it so the zipper on a hoodie wasn't straight? What if you turned a shoe square, or made it much bigger than it needed to be? What if instead of shoulder straps on a rank, you turned them into seat best? Or maybe turn your packaging into a tin rank? It's literally just changing one component.
