Course Response 10

Design 200 was a pretty informative class. The lectures could be a little dry, it seemed like a lot of reading from slides, but other than that I really enjoyed some of the movies we watched and the projects we worked on. All of the journals and course responses on top of class reading every week got a little tedious, but not having any exams was awesome.  I think the projects really did help me get thinking about design. I would recomend the class to someone else.

Our team designed a portable washer/dryer for college students to use in thier dorms and apartments.  We all added to the presentation, working as a group to create an awesome product.  I think our product alligns well with Colemans standards.  The work load was split up evenly, everyone helped brainstorm, then we all individually worked on certain parts. I personally designed the store front for the kiosk.  All in all our team worked really well together. I think our presentation was successful and realistic.

Our group effort on A05 has been super successful.  Everyone on the team has put in some great work.  We divided the work load among the six of us into groups dealing with marketing the product, drawing and designing, and creating our presentation. We met up at the SEL outside of class to piece together a cohesive presentation with all of our seperate components. The portable dorm washer dryer seems like a real possibility for a Coleman product. We are excited to present!
