About The Project

What Was The Project About?

This project was kinda like the show shark tank. We had to create a product and "try to sell it". We went through 3 rotations seeing each teacher and working on different things with them. Then we had to present it in front of first hour and any parents that wanted to come. 

In Zimmerli we worked on a commercial:

(I edited to commercial)

In Olson we worked on the website and a coupon:

(I did the coupon)

And in Netterville we did animations:

(I made the moving ad)

How Long Did The Project Take?

This project took up all of 4th quarter. We spent 2-3 weeks with each teacher preparing for the presentation.

What Were Some Challenges You Faced?

Some challenges I faced were being sick and having appointments. When you are gone you miss valuable work time. You spend every day working. Their are no days where you aren't working. Another challenged I faced was when we got to are last rotation a person in my group just spent the whole time playing games instead of actually working. We had to go into lunch a lot working on what they didn't do in class.

What Was You Overall Opinion?

My overall opinion is that we did pretty good. Their are a few things I would change, like the moving ad wasn't saving right so I would change that. As well as I would change a few things on the website. Overall i'm happy with our final products.

What Did You Do?

I did the coupon and I edited the commercial. I also did the moving banner ad. I spent the whole time working mostly. If I ever got done early I would try to help out my group. Only if they needed help too.

Final Thoughts?

Overall i'm very happy with how everything turned out. Everything looks really good. I'm not super happy with the color choice of our logo. I have learned a lot about during this quarter. I also had to revisit a lot of things we learned throughout the quarter. Everything together does look like one cohesive piece. Overall i'm happy with everything.
