I believe that this project in general went extremely well, especially within my team.  Everyone worked together and in doing so we came up with a great idea, the "fire fLITE" childrens bedside lamp.  The overall process was interesting, especially when comparing the first page of ideas and designs for the lamp with the final product. All in all, the overall project gave me a sense of what it really is like to be a designer; brainstorming with ideas and designs, some of which were thrown out immediately, and finally all agreeing and designing the final finished product (both the lamp, packaging, and kiosk) was a fun experience.  My overall contributions were (along with everyone in the group) brainstorming and coming up with ideas, doing some research on my own to figure out the type of lamp and what could be included, and designing the final look of the packaging. I believe this project was definitely my favorite out of all that we have done in the class, and I also believe it really helped in allowing me to see what a true designer does.
