CR03

This week was super short (only one class meeting) which will in turn lead to a short post.  We learned the design process, which I found interesting.  I really enjoyed the shopping cart development video we watched.  It was cool to see the unique way in which IDEO "got the job done."  It proved that though their workspace and ways of doing things may be a bit wacky, it really was productive and produced great results.  The cart was innovative and had details that they made seem absolutely necessary.  My biggest question to this video is what happened to the design?  Was it ever mass produced?  Is it still in the works? Was the design disposed?  I haven't seen much evolution in regards to the design of the shopping cart (besides possibly Target).  Overall, I found learning about the broad designer process really did give "method to the madness" and make the design process seem less stressful (which is always a good thing).
