The Concept of the Imaginary News Story
It is about creating a shopping mall designed in the shape of a giant mango in the city of Ismailia, which is famous for mango cultivation in Egypt and the Middle East.
Source of Inspiration
The city of Ismailia is well-known for growing mangoes, so the idea combines the mango element with both shopping and tourism.
This led to the concept of establishing a commercial mall in the form of a giant mango that serves as a visual landmark and a touristic icon attracting Egyptian, Arab, and foreign visitors.
Method Used to Produce the Idea
The idea was created by combining two unrelated concepts to produce a new, innovative one.
For example: Ismailia is famous for mangoes, and the goal is to promote tourism and shopping in the city.
Therefore, the mango theme was merged with the ideas of shopping and tourism, resulting in the concept of a shopping mall shaped like a giant mango that becomes a visual focal point and a touristic icon for the city.
