Bye bye originality

Been watching a bit of the dragons den recently along with my daily viewing of cool hunter and other amazing websites and if its possible to think of something new and exciting i don't think I have the skills!
Apparently my method of thinking of things that annoy me and then finding solutions is what everybody else has been doing! Its becoming more and more difficult to think of things no one else has already done!
Here are a few of my ideas so far;
mascara that wont show up on skin - for all the times I put it on and end up having to take off eyeshadow trying to remove the black spots framing my eyes. This idea also works for nail polish! This would however need a very clever scientist to discover a product that naturally occurs in skin that can break down mascara/nail polish! (maybe i was being dramatic i don't believe this has been done yet - that i can find)
My other idea was an app for British gas to remotely turn items off in the home from the iPhone... not exactly made but it must be in development since I saw an advert yesterday for a version of the same thing (just not an app) for e-on.....
How about a car keyring that tells you when your car alarm is going off? you can't always be just round the corner - apparently cars now text you when they're alarms go off and I bet there isn't a panic stricken spelling mistake in site!
Spray on clothing - already been done was showcased at LWF recently.
Wireless headphones - yes I have been living in the 80's - theses have been around a while apparently!
Anyway I have a few more service related ideas up my sleeve that might be more suitable. I'll see whats said in class tomorrow and choose my finial idea then hopefully!

FM2023

Hello world of blogs, this is one of my many blogs however this one will be specifically set up for FM2023 blogs (i hope).

This week was the start of my semester long product development project and wow it looks like there will be a lot of work involved. We are required to show a time line of what we are doing and what ideas we have - I'm doing mine in the form of a blog as I think that blogging is an important aspect of any fashion related business and hopefully it will get me into a routine and aid me in time management!

So, the first part of the project is to brain storm some possible new products. Seems simple enough but with no budget and no idea in which direction to go I have so many ideas buzzing around my head its difficult to choose the good from the stupidly insane! By next week I will have at least 5 possible ideas to work on.

I will have done some back ground research on these ideas and hopefully one of them will become my final idea.....

lets get to work ........
