I feel that for the product as a whole we did a good job. There were times where we could have been more productive and worked more efficiently. That happens with any group or projects. It was more of a real world project feel. We pulled together form a good product and presentation. Everyone contributed to the project I did research on the technology for product. I should have put more information about the technology and how it would work and relate to Coleman. I also worked on the 3D modeling of the products I believe that they turned out and helped show what the product would be.

Week 10 Class Review

I have really enjoyed this class. This class has opened my eyes for what goes in to the design process. The way that Gabe lead the class was fresh and energetic. He introduced me to new forms of communication that I can use not only for design but also other class. I wish I could have Gabe for a teacher again for other classes. I think that other professors and teachers could learn a lot from the way Gabe teaches.

We finalized everything and we are all happy with the finished product. The team has worked very well together. We haven't had any major conflicts and everyone has contributed an equal amount. As far as my contribution, I ended up focusing mainly on the technology and 3D modeling. The technology and 3D modeling was fun for me because I am wanting to go in to ID so it was great practice. Here are some images of the models that I did and the scan draft of the kiosk

I believe that we will have a good presentation I know everyone has been working hard to get this done and make a good product.

Ch 9-10

I never thought that clients or employers really such an important role in design. They really put most the constraints on the project that designers are working on. So if a designer doesn't design thing that fit fix what then client or employer does then it is pointless and the designer will loose. Designs have to fit what a company makes or know for. If a company want to change in to another field that what is normally does than it is better to make a slow shift to the new market. So that the companies name stays in contact and expands to the future market. It is a balance where it comes from and where it is going to.

I think this is a cool project idea to introduce the design process to everyone. What thing of the Coleman brand or relate to them. We talked about who we are looking for to buy the product. We have been brainstorming different thing that we could make. Ideas such as: heater, fire pits, air purifiers, dehumidifiers, and deodorizer.

I thought of making a storage locker that combines the deodorizer and dehumidifier. It would be used for gear, shoes, and even wet gear. I also started researching way to deodorize and dehumidify. I think that we as a group will have to put it sometime out of class to get a good finished project.

Week 7 Class Review

This week was really fun. I enjoyed hearing what the guest speakers had to say. They inspired me to work even harder on getting in to the the design program next year. I think it is really cool that they formed a company just out of college. I also am planning on getting in to the design groups here on campus. This was a great week to re-inspire the class after having the few classes over legal issues.

So what is a home good? A home good is a product that a consumer can use or show off. It can show the persons personality.

Here are a few images to showing home goods. The two on the right are ones that I made.
