Assignment 2, Phase 1


Ideas For Project 2, Phase 1

First Idea:
How To Clean A Carborator? This would be an actual quick and easy guide to cleaning a carborator of a Yamaha Vino Scooter, 49.5cc’s. Having been a scooter owner for 6 years I understand the need for a simple comprehensive guide for scooter maintenance. Your carborator usually needs to be cleaned at least once a year when taken out of storage and can cost any where from $250-$35 to have a mechanic clean it, it depends greatly on the mechanic, but the mechanic could be you! 
    On one side would be a “Getting to Know Your Parts Guide” that outlines where all the parts of a small scooter or Yamaha Vino 49.5cc’s are located. On the other side of the accordion fold would be the “How To Clean a Carborator?” section, maybe a Vol.1 of a series. I have long wished that this kind of information existed for my self. I want to make this into a series of “How To’s” for scooter owners.

Second Idea:
                 How to Make And Send An Art Mail Package? I have recently been making art mail packages for friends that live both near and far. I love receiving mail and sending mail, the post office is a wonderful thing and mail is very important to me. This “How To” would go over the steps involved in making an art package, what to include how to include it, how to make sections and layers within a regular box, basically how to get creative with your sending. Then it would cover how to send through the post office. There are actually some things that may not be sent and you always have to make sure you items are properly secured, I get in trouble for putting bows on the outside of my packages, glitter and undried paint.

  1. Either would be great but I'm drawn to the package idea. Maybe it's because I love sending letters and care packages to friends but I think there is a lot you can do with that.

  2. Because you are a scooter owner, I think you should pursue that angle since you know it so well. When you initially bought your scooter, how did you learn how to care for it? It seems that a guide like this would be great to sell along with a scooter -- so the need and want for this type of "How To" book is there, and you could fill that void coming from a very knowledgeable perspective.
