Design Project 2 Reflection

The project overall was really good. There was only a one part that was difficult about it. The poster had a lot of elements that you had to put in it, which made it hard to make a design that looked good and brought them all together. I think the challenge was kind of fun, though. I thought it was really interesting learning how to fit all the pieces together. It was also interesting redesigning the fly swatter with my group. We found that a mind map worked best for us when thinking up ideas for the new swatter. I personally like word lists, but for this project, I think that mind map was the best option for us. It was fun narrowing all of our crazy ideas down into a one solid, realistic idea. It was pretty interesting finding materials to make our fly swatter out of, and I think by the end we came up with something that was unique and impressive. I’m very proud of what our group accomplished. We all meshed together really well and came out with a great prototype.
