Arranged in the  categories of Observation, Analysis and Opportunity, our assignments  included photographing 100 examples of the same thing, devising a cocktail to represent another participant and translating a work of fiction into a restaurant concept.

We baffled the group several times, but we got there, and everyone designed quite a few things in the process. One participant told me the experience was like a film that you don’t understand until the end – then it all comes together.
