-- Our team's final product was the Coleman Water Filter. I feel that we all worked together as a whole to come up with some great ideas for the packaging, logo, kiosk, and final design of the product. Though we could have communicated more throughout the process to maybe think of some more ideas, the way we collaborated worked fine and was definitely a learning experience for all of us to know what to do and what not to do when working on projects like this.
-- In the end, my contribution to the team consisted of thinking of logo and packaging ideas and I feel as if some of my ideas were incorporated into the final product. However, I do wish that I made an effort to contribute more to what everything looked like in the end because a part of me really likes to polish up some things and make them look very good and presentable. This is something I will take into consideration for other projects in the future.

-- The team as been moving along very well. After thinking more about what the product would be and look like, we split into different groups to discuss more about the logo and packaging, kiosk, and product design. We all equally contributed ideas to the design and I feel like we could really have a great tangible item to produce.
-- My contribution to the team has gotten better. I have been more involved with the thought process of developing new ideas and designs the group.
-- The way we have been documenting ideas is by sketching and putting together our different ideas on paper and then presenting them to each other.

-- I feel like the team as a whole has been making great progress. We initially came up with a few ideas for the project and talked about their pros and cons. Once we got past that area of thinking, we took a vote and chose one project to pursue as a team. Most of the members on the team contribute ideas to the design and concept as a whole and really help get the project off to a good start.
-- My contribution to the team was initially okay, but it has been getting better with bringing new ideas and concepts the table to help further the process. For future meetings I expect to contribute even more with speaking up about my ideas and sharing my thoughts.
-- Part of the documentation so far that we have done has been through researching, but some of us did have sketches to bring to the group meeting.
