Such interesting scenarios. I am wondering how you people find these interesting scenarios to be designed for these challenges. I sometimes find it difficult to come up with scenarios. Would love to know some tips from the community. Is somebody sailing in the same boat?

- JenniferPetr6195 years agoCommunity MemberYou're not alone! Even though I haven't been posting my ELC projects publicly for very long, I'm often in that boat. I usually end up finding inspiration in completely random, mundane things. Brainstorming usually starts with "What's the thing I care most about right now?" For instance, yesterday I sat down to work on my project right after pulling weeds in my flowerbeds and pots and thought, "If I'd done this sooner, I wouldn't have so many weeds to pull." And thus was born "Whack-a-Weed!"
- Ange5 years agoCommunity MemberI agree with Jenna. I think the trick is not to overthink: simple, mundane, random, right in front of you, work well. It's usually something that I have just been thinking about or something that someone mentioned recently. I also try to go for something that can be quickly pared down to essentials so it doesn't become laborious and demanding of a ton of research and fact checking.
- KellyCook-8489a5 years agoCommunity MemberHi Rachna! I find that Inspiration is a funny thing and often comes from anywhere. But I like to start small. Like Maressa mentioned on her interaction this week, she started with the paw print entrance and went from there. I also go back and look at other challenges and get inspiration from all these wonderful designers.
