How did your team generate ideas?

at first we actually couldn't generate and ideas, but after think we got the idea of peanut box. we got this idea by looking at the picture of half the peanut, it made me think of a box with nuts in it. The final idea was the peanut box which is a box to used to keep nuts.

What methods of communication did you use?

we used methods like sharing ideas and putting our ideas down on the paper, we also drew some picture to make the idea more easy to understand.

What were the challenges?

1. generating an idea-----it was challenging to think of an idea so that actually took a long time.
2. teamwork----- we worked well but because everybody wants to have a try on making the model so the work wasn't done by everyone having a chance, but we worked well.

What worked well?

creating the model with the group, even though not everyone got a chance but the worked well.

How did your team decide on a single design direction?

that was the only idea we have so we just used the idea

Was there a natural team leader or was one selected?

there was a natural team leader.

In this class, we first used potatoes as a prototype to understand how designers design through shapes. We used potatoes as a prototype to learn 3D painting. We also used our imagination to draw our own mouse designs. We also learned a few things. Dotted perspective. After that, I assembled my mouse model.
