The group project was awesome.  I thought the challenging assignment was interesting in that it allowed for such a broad variety of solutions.  Each team did a unique product solution for integrating Coleman for the home.  Our group did storage and noticed the storage was becoming a trend.  We saw that in the second day of presentations, more diversely separate product ideas were brought to life.
I noticed that within our own group, everyone worked very well together and listened to one another respectfully.  Everyone got to voice their opinion on each debate.  Everyone has an original idea somewhere in our design.  My contribution to the the group and the product development was based on the visual aspect.  When we decided on which final product to design I started sketching what I could best interpret from what the group was describing.  From this point I took it upon my self to download and learn how to use Google SketchUp.  The program seemed to come naturally for me and I really enjoyed displaying all the awesome ideas our group had for the product. I wish that I had time enough for a more advanced 3d rendering program, but I ended up focusing on fine tuning what I had already created in SketchUp.  I really enjoyed this project and equally enjoyed working with the group I was part of.
