I found this task difficult as I was trying to hard to connect it to my essay idea when 1) in reality the practical work should be so much broader and 2) this was an exercise of how to produce ideas rather than to produce ideas solely for my actual work. It created some bizarre results but this isn't necessarily a bad thing, and all the same these ideas are a starting point for more ideas and to be more refined. I learnt it's ok to have some strange things happening.
I think I might have misunderstood the hats exercise when compared to other peoples' results but I like the idea that this can be silly and humorous and doesn't have to be boring. The essay isn't necessarily a boring thing but I think there is more scope for fun and play, even if it's just in the visuals, when it comes to the practical side of the brief. I will continue this mindset into my sketchbook.
