Interviews

In order to get feedback on how our group should go about redesigning the ice cube tray, we were sent out to do interviews on a few people. I questioned three girls from my dorm and have posted their responses below along with a few pictures.

    Yes

    Not much
3. What do you look for in one?
    Has rubber on the bottom to pop out and 
    also color.
4. What struggles do you have?

    I will keep it. I like it a lot.
6. What ice shape do you prefer?
