Week 10

Motion: Worked on the motion graphic advertisement for Caddie that showcases what the product is in an engaging way.

Pitching: Prepared for the Aggie Pitch competition taking place April 7th. I will have 1 minute to pitch Caddie while my engineering partner sets up the course and plays it within the allotted time frame.

Have diligence in checking for spelling mistakes in design stage. Reconsider writing the patent based on what I want to do with this after school ends. Continue to push and follow-through to create a great conclusion to this project.

Discussed the end results of this project. We talked it through on a very practical level, and I am realizing I am at a stage in my life where I don't have the tenacity for this project any longer to get it off the ground with the type of life that I desire. Because of this, I am reconsidering writing a patent and thinking about how I want this to live on, which may be just as a great portfolio piece and the knowledge I gained through developing an idea thoroughly. I would not say that I am giving up on this project, but that it may look different. I still love the idea and the message, and it may continue as a hobby for awhile (particularly taking modular toys, modifying them, and bringing excellent branding to them) and maybe one day it will grow to where I make a switch to doing this. We talked about what I really have the drive to do and will find enjoyment in, and I am someone who values my family and community over having a star-studded career, and I think trying to pursue wholeheartedly starting a business that I have hesitations towards and will take lots and lots of time. Instead working hard as a designer and loving the people around me in a more balanced lifestyle is the thing I desire, and finding a way to continue bringing joy to people through creativity that will not come at the expense of that.
