Design an LCD window. This window would allow
sunlight to pass through at one setting but also block
out all light by simply adjusting the polarity of the LCD.
The device would also allow the owner to display a
customised window scene to be viewed from the inside,
or a message to be viewed externally by hooking up the

pitched this idea to a

well-known
confectionary brand

with a spectacular
punning title for the
project. Now, you can

play the ad man.
What product was it?

Launch a millionaire fund on the Internet created by one
million individuals each donating one pound via credit card
or online banking transfer. When the fund is complete, a
millionaire entity will have been created. For each of the
pound shareholders, this may be the closest they will get to
being a real millionaire. Their pound will allow them a single
vote in deciding how to collectively spend the money. An
automated software programme will run presenting options

pun? for employing the fund, such as charity, investment or

gambling. The range options would be available to the

individuals to view in advance of their pledge.
