Week 14

This week I sadly was only able to make it to one class due to my alarm not going off. So this post will be slightly shorter than usual.

Smart Project
Thursday was a new experience. We were kicked out of our usual room due to a dead animal inhabiting our classroom and the smell being unbearable. Due to this we were able to have another combined class though with our Engineers, going to Sleith even to collaborate.

We were to continue working on things needed to get done within the week. So this week we were focused on the poster for the Expo where we will show off our product. The engineers also were continuing to work on the wiring of the actual product.

But back to the poster, we had some struggles with the poster. Its hard to find strong colors and designs that related to our product. We thought of locks, which are usually just black, white, or grey, doors which are usually a brown, wooden type of color and we thought of keys which are usually silver or a copperish color. From that we came to put together this poster:

While it doesn't have the brightest, most exciting colors it definitely fits our product and shows what the product is and does along with some market information on it as well. After this we talked about Elevator pitches, where we'll have to incorporate our value proposition statement. One thought we had for this that my group mate Griffin was the most excited about was to potentially make the pitch into a song, so that we stand out from the rest of the groups. We'll have to confer with Dr. Spotts though before we continue on with it just incase its not the professional way to go.
