first post!

Well this is the second week of our second project, redesigning a poorly designed object. I have to say its been a lot harder than I expected. First of all, our group had so many ideas on ways to improve it took some work to cut back and figure out what were the most important things in our re-design. Secondly, working as a group is a lot more difficult for me. I didn't realize how independent of a worker I am until we started this project. Working with people who have different personalities and who are in completely different majors than me will probably help me learn a ton more because they can bring in different ideas. I guess I'm just struggling with this project a lot because I really don't like industrial design. I mean, I think it's pretty neat but all this sketching of mundane objects doesn't appeal to me. Neither does re-designing them. I wouldn't mind taking pictures of these re-designed objects, but for now I'll have to resign myself to getting this paint roller redesigned...
