Summary

During this project, I learned a lot. One thing that definitely stuck out to me in this project is learning how to use a pastry bag. I needed to learn how to use this because without knowing how to we wouldn't be able to design the middle of our cookies. I also learned how to make the pudding thick enough so that we can put it in between the cookies without it getting all over the place. We did this by adding less milk to the mix (so that it was thicker) and than into the freezer. This is what I learned over the course of this project

Backwards Looking - What process did you go through to produce this piece?

To create our cookies, we went through a relatively simple process. To create our whole project is another story, so i'm just going to say how we made our cookies. First, we had to create the Jello. We did this by putting the mix in the mixing bowl, and than pouring in the milk. After this, we mashed up some bananas and mixed it in. That's how we did our pudding, after this we went two ways, one way was pouring our pudding into containers, to sell as is, or we took two Nilla wafers, and used a pastry bag to put the pudding in-between the wafers. Essentially, that all it took. After this we were done creating our product. 

Inwards Looking - How do you feel about this piece of work? What parts of it do you particularly like? Dislike? Why? What did/do you enjoy about this piece or work?

I feel as if our group did pretty well on this project. We produced a well done ignite presentation, as well as we were able to maintain clear ideas throughout the whole presentation. We also did pretty well on our products. However, some things that I thought we did OK on (not very good, or bad) is probably our  tri-fold. Our tri-fold looked overall a bit sloppy, and kind or messy in my opinion, but it wasn't overwhelmingly terrible. This what I enjoyed, and didn't enjoy about our project

Outward Looking - What grade would you give it? Why?

I would probably give this project an A-. I would say this because, for the most part, we did everything relatively well. Our presentation was pretty good. Our product was very tasty. And last but not least, our instructable was pretty good too. The only reason why I wouldn't give us an A is because, like I said before, our poster board had some faults. But they weren't overwhelming, as in they didn't distract you from the ideas our poster was conveying. This is the grade I would giver our project.

Forward Looking - As you look at this piece, what's one thing that you would like to try to improve upon?

I think that I could probably improve upon the tri-fold. As I mentioned before, the tri-fold was a bit sloppy, and overall could have probably improved. So next time I will know what I did wrong before, which was deciding to use tape instead of glue, as well as put un-dried photo paper onto the poster board,and improve upon it by not doing these things. I think that we also could have used a better background for our tri-fold, because in my opinion it was kinda gloomy for selling banana pudding as our product. These are the things I will improve upon for my next project.
