What we learned in our research affected our design because we learned about better methods for separation. We didn't model our thing after anything specific, it was more based on functionality.
Our biggest challange while making the design was that it was very big and we didn't have enough time to finish it. We would've made it smaller if we had planned better in the beggining or had more time.
So, I wrote this after exhibiton but I didn't feel prepared. I know I was prepared, but I was super nervous. I really needed the new shirt to be done by then which it ended up being. In the end everything went smoothly.
