Reflection

Finishing this project was a relief but, also, a little sad. I had a lot of fun with this project. I connected and grasped the idea product design. I thought that working in a group and creating something together was so much more satisfying and easy, than working on my own. I now want to switch my major to industrial design, because even though it was a lot of work, it did not seem like work. It was fun. The most interesting part of the experience was coming up with designs and mapping. I loved doing the giant mind map. I am a very visual person, so being about to layout my thoughts visually was much easier to comprehend, than just writing it in a list. At first, I found it hard to build prototypes, but after experimenting and messing around with different mediums, it became much like sculpting (which a true passion of mine). Also, I was nervous at first about working in a group. I was wondering how the group dynamic would be and if there would be a bossy person, who would only do what they wanted. However, it turned out that I was completely wrong. My group was so supportive, innovative, creative, helpful, and fun. I, also, learned more about how to work Indesign and create a better composition, since my job at the end was to produce the poster. Overall, I loved this project and could see myself easily in the future working for something like the IDEO Company.
