Group Redesign Project

This is my group:
Katie Klaras, Travis Young, Me, and Lori Novak
















The object that we decided to redesign was Katie's paint roller.




The main problems we found with it were that it was uncomfortable, messy, created uneven coverage, and was exhausting to use.







This is the concept map that we completed during class:















And after organizing our ideas more, these are the ideas we had:














Out of these ideas, the main concepts that we wanted to apply to our new design was to make the roller more compact (including an extending pole to reach high spots on the wall), make it roll more smoothly, apply the paint more evenly, have a more comfortable handle, and have the roller be more mobile.
