My team was the Jacks: David, Payton, and Kylie.
Our presentation is here: http://prezi.com/pbpdn_wcehpu/ustemsils/ and is also embedded in Kylie's blog.
Our project was a "ustemsil," which is a handle that comes with different attachments for cooking. It's best to use in small spaces, such as apartments. We were interested in working with the versatility and compactness of Coleman products and creating something that could help the company branch into the home goods department. We thought this was a great idea because it's based off of the swiss army knife idea which is a tool commonly used when camping. We also thought it was a great transition for Coleman to branch into home goods since it's close to what they do best, yet innovative enough to help them expand.
Our group worked really well together. Together we explored Prezi and Google Sketchup both of which none of us had used before. Kylie put together the presentation and did sketches, David worked on Sketchup to design the handle and the kiosk, Payton redesigned the logo and the packaging, and I helped with product design and did sketches. Everything was split pretty evenly between the team.
I felt that I did well with the sketches for the group, and also offered suggestions on the other team members' work. I think I could have done better by taking on more of a workload and being more of a leader. However, I felt we had some pretty strong leaders in the group already and it wouldn't have been good to have too many leaders.
I think our presentation went really well. We were able to articulate our product and answer questions surrounding it. It was nice to put the concepts we've been learning all quarter to work.
