I agree that open briefs are the hardest assignments, but the outcome also tells the most about the designers.
How long did they have for this, a week right? I thought the execution of the presentations and prototypes were horrid.
I liked the idea of using the felt found in clothesdryers to create new clothing, but her presentation (saying the garment she was wearing was made from the fabric) killed it.
The 'green' wastebin could have been given some more thought.. she could've made a plantpot/garbagebin combination where your garbage turns into compost or something.
The unplug the world for two weeks isn't very conceptual as they said in the program, just impossible. Furthermore the basic idea is already being performed and known as 'Earth Hour'.
I'm glad Starcke recognized Nebil as a being a good marketeer, not a good designer. His transforming experience could be anything and everything, and thus not giving an anwser to the brief.
