This is a presentation prepared for Stanford's "A Crash Course on Creativity"

1. HATS HATS HATS
Colours, feelings and characters

2. WHAT DO I FEEL ABOUT THEM?
 First thing is first, I simply HATE
HATS!
 WHY? I donT have a clue. But
whatever the weather is like,
however cold it is, I try to AVOID
wearing them. Just made a
brainstorming and realized that the
last time I wore a hat was about
three years ago in Germany, and it
was FREEZING.
 Maybe it is the result of living in a
hot climate, but even in extreme
heat, I do not wear hats. Thats
why the photos, except for one will
not the photos of my own hats 

3. A google search about hats brought me this and I love it, kind of
associating hat colours with personality. And I think it’s brilliant.

4. HAT COLOURS AND
CHARACTER
 If Edward&Bono are right,
I can easily say I am a
mixture of red and green.
Red more, but a pinch of
green also. Doesn’t mean
I wear this coloured hats,
but the personality
analysis for them fits me.
 So where does that bring
me, I am a mixture of
feelings&creativity,
emotion&perception.

5. What happens when I wear a hat?
 I feel like the photo. Trapped!
 But what if I have to, I wear
them. But take them off the
minute the necessity ends.
Thankfully, here in Turkey we
do not have a tradition like
wearing hats during the
weddings and so on, I would
have been in trouble. Can’t
think of myself walking in a
feathery designer hat during a
wedding 

6. Didn’t I ever like them?
 I DID!
 The at in the photo is the only hat I
have ever worn with pleasure. It’s
about 3 years old now and it is a
precious souvenir from one of the
loveliest trips I have ever had in my
life. Gifted by precious friends in the
presence of more precious friends.
 It is the only hat I wore for a whole
night with pleasure. And it was fun.
There were about 50 of us wearing the
same hat and you can see the big
smile on my face 
 This one really brings back
great memories.

7. And what about the rest?

8. And there is also this 
 The hats in the
previous one can be
worn but gotta say the
Leprechaun one is my
favourite.
 But what about the
one here? IT IS A
NIGHTMARE!!

9. So the result is??
 I STILL DON’T LIKE HATS….
 Thanks for your attention!
