The TASK (Creating a Product Manual)

1. Brainstorm

A. With a partner, think of a great, new product ideas. The best idea will have to be original, safe,
possible, interesting, useful, and attractive or

B. think of improving an existing product mechanism like gadgets, appliance, computer,

machine and equipment.

Share and discuss some problems in your everyday life. Think about home, school, work, etc.

PROBLEM SOLUTION

I love taking photographs but I often get bad A ring light flash
shots because there is not enough lighting or
source of strong key light that would produce
nice output. I wanted to provide a subtle effect
or uniform light to add details to the final
shots or photos I make.

Next, Take your three best ideas and think about them a bit more.

Product Idea #1 Ring Light Flash V 2.0

Product Description

Ring-o-shot is a circular photographic flash. Unlike point light sources, a ring flash provides
even illumination with few shadows visible in the resulting photographs because the origin of
the light is very close to (and surrounds) the optical axis of the lens. It is commonly used in
applications such as macro, portrait and fashion photography.
