- Experience working alone to
create an actual prototype with a deadline.
- Had to have a physical,
working solution to the problem with a limited amount of
time.
- Cost and production time
were major factors, as well as appearance, durability,
and functionality.

- Had to design a solution to
a very specific problem in a short amount of time (over
Mardi Gras)
- Worked alone
- Had to learn to work with
cardboard, the only material available
- Since we had all seen the
best design from previous years, I had to make sure my
design was better, or else it was just a waste of time
coming up with something new if it wasn't as good
- I had confidence in my
design, because if I had sprayed cola all over the room I
would have been in trouble
