    1. Thinking Flexibly because you need a design that's unique and no one else has thought of.
      Questions because you need to ask yourself should I put it here or there, will it be too expensive.

      Delete
    2. make it right and persistence

      Delete
    3. work with others because you and your buddy must work to combine your ides and be clear so that your buddy fully understands wot you think

    5. stop and think because you can't rush into it you have to know what to do in your mind ask yourself is this going to work then take action.-Jordi and Max y and Ollie

    6. Questions- because they need to ask how much will it cost and where will it go
      Creating and innovating - because you need to make it unique

    7. persistence because you must persist and to achieve. Working with others is another good idea because you must work together to achieve but you have to be able to work with others.
