What is with the De Bono guy and his 6 hat system?

Well, we’ve used his system in a group to give each other feedbacks regarding our first “Lofi Self-Portrait” assignment. In our week 3 practical, only four hats are used and the feedbacks received are:

Yellow Hat: Optimistic, Positive, or something that works

• Significant composition
• Complex and clear audio
• Creative words in a ‘person’
• Abstract glowing video

Red Hat: Feelings or initial reaction

Black Hat: Not quite working

• Image with shadows has too much distracting objects
• Its composition

Green Hat: Alternative

• First photo of the shoes, can be split into two pictures
  1. Only shoes
  2. Only grass
