As this was my first real experience with sketching, I had some trouble coming up with connection ideas. However, being able to work in small groups let me bounce ideas off of classmates to brainstorm more effectively. The ideas that I created sketches for were a physical connection (touching phones together), utilizing fingerprint recognition, and creating a connection code by toggling your phone's flashlight.

I decided to make a more detailed sketch of using a QR code to connect the smart phones. I designed the interface of an app that lets you scan another person's QR code and select pictures from your phone to share.

For this design challenge, I tried to consider what the frustrating part of power save mode is for me. Personally, I use windows + L to lock my computer screen whenever I get up because my coworkers used to change my computer background to different cat pictures when I would get up. While this isn't too difficult to do, the average person doesn't know the shortcut, so I thought putting a button on a laptop/keyboard that could do it automatically would be more convenient.
My other idea for this challenge was to remove all work from the user's end. If they leave the computer, it triggers a sensor that locks their computer. if I were to do a more detailed design of this idea, I would specify that returning to the computer does not unlock it. That way someone couldn't just walk up and change the background, for example.

For inspiration for this design challenge, I decided to sketch my microwave. I didn't want to get hung up on designing new features and instead focused on making a more detailed sketch. However, I must've forgotten what my microwave looks like because the buttons and screen definitely aren't to the left of the handle.
