Our team has been working on an indoor storage cabinet for Coleman products. It's a cabinet to store outdoor products like coats, boots, helmets, and any other accessories that an active family may need or use.  As we've been designing the cabinet we've come across many things that we've had to decide on or pick.  One thing was the overall size of the cabinet, because the bigger it is the more you can store in it, but it still needs to be able to fit through doorways and under ceilings.  We've all been compiling ideas and drawing up potential designs for the cabinet, and soon we'll all decide on who's doing which part of the presentation and how they're going about showing it to the class.
So far in our project, we have all taken on about the same role.  We've been compiling all our ideas and designing the cabinet so that it fits the average user the best, and does everything we'd like it to.  I feel like I've been bringing good ideas towards the development and design of our product, and have been played an important role in thinking of ideas and making them fit the cabinet.  Once we begin the next stages of our presentation, I'll be helping make mock-ups and set up the presentation itself.
We do have a few sketches and drawings of what the cabinet will look like, but I don't have any of them on my computer.  We made lists of possible beginning ideas that included pet products, appliances, and even food supplies.  We started thinking about how to combine some appliances or tools in order to make a certain job or task easier, and then stumbled upon the idea of the cabinet.  We then started making lists of things we wanted to include as accessories for the cabinet like a removable shelving unit, hooks, movable shelves, ventilation fan, and plastic baskets.  We plan on making a base-line cabinet, and then many accessories that people can buy so they can make the cabinet exactly how they want it.
