Decision MatrixFinal Design For the final design we chose sketch number three. Sketch number three was chosen because it was the smallest, most effective, and cost the least to make. Not only did this design exceed all the others in almost every aspect, but it also met the constraints in the design brief. Design Number three is made out of 5 different parts, the containers which will hold the candy. The legs and base for support and the dials and distributor for getting the candy to the customer. This design is the best and most effective of the three, while still being affordable for the company.

Not only did we come together and work in harmony but we also were be able to produce an amazing product! I feel that the client would be very pleased with the design we chose and how it came out. The sleekness of the glass pops with the red color of the base. Overall a great project and I would love to do it again!
