After surveying two different adults I recorded their feedback on my happy meal toy design
Adult #1: I think that you should add more coloring into the parts of the object, and I like how you built the pocket on the suspenders.
Adult #2: The shield is crazy looking, but what you should've done is make his legs slightly taller to fit his body.

After thinking it through I believe that we should have added slightly more to the figure. I feel that the arms and the legs are a little lackluster and we skimped out on the detail. Most of our time was spent on the body of the piece itself, and we weren't as focused on them. If I were to add details I would make the arms look more realistic and I would add more definition to the gloves, and to the feet all I would add would be shoelaces.
During the whole project Jared and worked together because we had been texting ideas to each other and communicating what we were supposed to do. When the project first started we decided to plan ahead and think what we would do each day. Even though the snow day gave us less class time we were able to keep on track. Both of us knew some inventor skills that came in handy during this project. For example, Jared has a great understanding of revolving to make the shapes of the minion. I also have a good understanding of how to decal objects and make a shape then changing its size with only one dimension change. I thought this project was fun because we got to build a toy using our inspiration and the theme of Despicable Me's minions. I also enjoyed researching and brainstorming ideas for what we could do with the minion.
