CR05

The last two classes in Design 200 we have been presenting our "Coleman for the Home" final projects. On Monday groups 2 through 7 presented. The products from these groups were interesting. I especially liked the camp bed idea and more specifically the package design for it. The groups presented well and really kept us interested. On Wednesday groups 8 through A presented, which was the day my group presented. Outside of repeatedly going over my portion of our presentation in my head, I thought these groups presentations were good as well. The Coleman for the Home project was a fun way to get a sense of working in a group and the presentations were a great way to see how others interpreted the scope of the project.

I think, in all, the assignment was successful. Everyone seemed to dig in and appeared to be energetic about the project. I am also glad we had the chance to grade our peers. When working in our groups, I'm sure we all felt our product was the best, this peer evaluation was a good way to get and give feedback on our products.

The Coleman for the Home assignment was a great way to finish the quarter. After learning about design processes, legal issues and the different disciplines of design all quarter, this assignment was a great way for us to show how well we paid attention. Giving the presentations in the last two classes was a very fulfilling way to end this class and see how far we've come from that first class where we had to introduce each other. That seems so long ago.
