IDEO

This video was extremely appealing to me because i did not know the extent of how long it takes to create a new product that is not only functional, but convenient, visually appealing, and realistic. IDEO also uses the strategy of a team, which is a great way to collaborate ideas, even if they are outlandish or ridiculous because you feed off of those crazy ideas to make genius ones. It also helped our group in vision how to work in a group for this $5 design project by dividing up the tasks to the strengths and weaknesses of each team member and coming together to help mesh them together. The IDEO video also showed the idea that any product can be redesigned into something better or more creative, such as the shopping cart, or the ice scrapper our group chose. Another interesting point the video made was that pretty much everything you see from day to day was thought up in the long thought process of recreating or creating the design of the product. Another thing i liked about this video was that even though it was labor intensive and a long process recreating the shopping cart, the whole team seemed to enjoy themselves, no matter how weird the next persons idea was everyone took it into consideration and played off of them. No one seemed to be shut down, or have a limit to their creativity on how elaborate the idea was. Our teams goal on our project with the ice scrapper is to bounce ideas around from each person and pick our the best ones, just like they did in the video. The IDEO video also showed me that you can take pieces and parts of each persons idea to create different aspects of our product, and that we don't just have to have one great idea of one object, but we can mix and match
