Our team members decided that we would do a portable refrigerator that were aimed for hunters, adventurous people, outdoor families, etc. The first meeting that we had with our groups, we got a lot of ideas down and already started working on what we should have for next week. I mentioned that we should all come up with sketches and research what our refrigerator would look like because the more input there is then the more we can collaborate together and make this refrigerator a hit. We each have our own vision and once we start to share our ideas we can all have a contribution to the design instead of one person doing all the work. I'm glad that our group is organized and know what assignments they have to do. Although all of our group members weren't there because they either don't show up for class or they're really sick, so I made sure that I would send out an email to everyone to remind them of what we're working on and what direction we're going towards.

My role in our group is - I definitely organized what we should do such as sketches, and mainly gave them questions to think about. Gave everyone an email and a reminder of what to include in their sketches. Although, this will be a hard concept to come up with, I believe that our group is creative enough to figure something out. By helping them with questions and things to think about, hopefully they will take my advice and curiosity and take it to the next level.

Documents - I told everyone to source their ideas and to bring in whatever they thought would help our group in designing this product. I think ever since Monday, we had a general idea of how we wanted to look like, it's just going to take some research on the dimensions that fits best for our clients. I'm going to keep bringing in my laptop and constantly research more ideas on how we can improve our product.
