Being In a Tee-am

Last week, like always, I went through something relatively new. I was apart of a team specifically designed for maximum efficiency. I was the sole "beaver" of the group, but we had 2 "otters" and one "lion" as well as an unknown. I am kind of the leader, but I think it's more of a shared position. We went through about 25 potential team names, like KC Zoo, We really want a good grade please give an A, and Monsters Inc. The last one was copyrighted though, so we just went with Company Inc. in the end, after a vote for each each name.

Then we went on to decide what type of product we wanted to showcase. The first brilliant suggestion by one of my fellow teammates was a 'cold microwave', which would could cool down, or even freeze food in the same amount of time it would take a normal microwave to heat something up. then my brilliant contribution was 'hot ice', mostly in jest. the idea was that it could keep drinks warm, like coffee, or hot cocoa. After some deliberation and determination, we all decided on introducing a backpack that's infinitely bigger on the inside, immortally named the "Magic Pack", aimed at travelers 18 to 33 years old.

After that, our team had to design a logo fro the product itself. We made it in Adobe Illustrator.


As you can see, it's more on the simple side, but simplicity was exactly what we were going for. It took us a bit to line up the swirls of the infinity sign, but after that it was just smooth sailing for us.


We even have our own slogan: "Be surprised with the size". Not the most original, but it fits. After that, we presented ourselves and our logo to the class. We dressed in black, so that made us automatically formal, and we had already decided who was saying what beforehand, so it went smoothly. We had clear voices, good posture, and good explanations of our processes. At the end, we managed to get a 10.
