     Our team has just finished putting the final touches on our presentation, and finalizing all the details on the project as a whole. We all met at Starbucks this afternoon to talk about our project, and we decided on the order of the slides in our presentation, and figured out how we were going to talk about our kiosk.  We all worked on small portions of the project individually, and then compiled those pieces to make our final project.  
     During the course of the project, I helped the group think about possible options for the cabinet design, and even used Google Sketchup to render 3-D designs and actual pictures of pieces that can be purchased as accessories for out cabinet.  I feel like I've been bringing good ideas toward the group discussion about the project, especially because my family camps a lot, so I use Coleman products all the time, and know what kind of products they sell, and who their customers are.
     We started out by making 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.  Here are a few pictures of the accessories for the cabinet that I've been working on:
