Concept Generation – Week #4

The influence of Terraview’s app icon can be seen in the Grape Expectations design

This week, we presented our final team name and logo, continued meeting with our coaches and sponsors, and started gathering data sources for our model.

During class, we presented our team name and logo, along with a short description of how we came up with the name and design. We took inspiration from Terraview’s Vine Click app for our logo, and our classmates seemed to enjoy our design and the thought that went into it! Additionally, we began the concept generation process in class with a brainstorming activity that helped all of the team members get onto the same page for our vision.

During our meetings with our sponsors and coaches this week, we finalized our Product Design and Specifications report, and also refined our understanding of the project. The most helpful part of the Product Design and Specifications assignment was that it allowed our team to hone in on the requirements of the project. Although our product will not be a physical item, we were able to come up with metrics to determine whether we will have satisfied the requirements. Our liaison was very helpful in this process, as he talked through the document with us and ensured that all of the requirements were accurate and accounted for.

After discussing the requirements with our coach and liaison and brainstorming concepts ourselves, the team feels confident as we begin the groundwork for the project. We have been researching data sources and creating the frameworks for our model, and we will continue preliminary research and design work in the upcoming week.
