User Interface: Project Manager: that um , that um User Interface: Project Manager: In a way it looks kind of awkward , because it's on spindly legs and it uh User Interface: Project Manager: But it can really overcome harsh terrain , and although it's gorgeous it's also very dangerous , because it has um strong antlers , and uh it can really combat its enemies , even like it it's a it's an herbivore but , uh , it can really defend itself .

Project Manager: Oh .
Industrial Designer: It's gonna be a bit of a strange drawing , but never mind .
User Interface: Industrial Designer: User Interface: Industrial Designer: Not as artistic as Heather's drawing .
Project Manager: User Interface: Industrial Designer: Bit more cartoon style .
Project Manager: Industrial Designer: But I like cats because they're so independent , and they always seem to be doing what they want to be doing . Um , but that doesn't mean they're completely not sociable , 'cause they enjoy interacting with humans as well , and they seem to enjoy the good things like sunshine and , um , running around outside as well as being inside , and enjoying their food , and generally just , they just seemed so cool and they just know what they're doing .
User Interface:  Industrial Designer: Uh I reckon they're sort of , they got it sorted . They know what they want .
User Interface: Industrial Designer: Basically , that's why I like cats . User Interface: Very good . Project Manager: Great .
Industrial Designer: I'll rub that out . There you go . User Interface: Okay . I think my favourite animal would be a dog , but I'm not really sure how to draw one .
Industrial Designer: Ooh .
User Interface: I , I've never drawn a dog , I don't think . I'm tempted to draw a snail 'cause I draw them sometimes and they're really easy to draw .
Marketing: Project Manager: Industrial Designer: User Interface: Um ,
Project Manager: I forget her name .
User Interface: right it's gonna be a really funny dog , 'cause I'm not sure how to draw a dog .
Marketing: Tara
Project Manager: Marketing: or Tara .
Industrial Designer: Well there are loads of different types of dogs , so I'm sure it'll represent one kind of dog . User Interface: It's a cartoon dog I think .
Project Manager: Industrial Designer: User Interface: A s I don't ev Oh , oh well . It's a scary cartoon dog . That This ,
Industrial Designer: User Interface: that does not look like a dog .
Project Manager: It looks kinda like a person . Industrial Designer: We can pretend . User Interface: I'm sorry .
Marketing: That's Pinocchio .
User Interface:    How do you draw a dog ? I suppose it has a lon Oh my god . Right . Yous know what it's supposed to be .
Industrial Designer: Okay .
User Interface: It's a dog . . Um , I like dogs because , um , they're so good to humans , like they can be trained to be police dogs and seeing-eye dogs , and they're just such friendly animals . And , like they're more of a companion than cats .
Industrial Designer: Yeah , that's true .
User Interface: I've nothing against cats . Cats don't really like me , so I can't like them .
Project Manager: Marketing: User Interface: But they're just so friendly and warm and nice animals ,
Project Manager: User Interface: that don't look like that . Industrial Designer: Marketing: Alrighty . I feel like a robot .
User Interface: Project Manager: Industrial Designer: Marketing: Okay . Um , well I guess I had the most time to think about it . I'm going to draw a butterfly , because I saw a butterfly yesterday , that seemed to be like the symbol of Spring arriving . And it was actually the prettiest butterfly I've ever seen out in the wild , and I though that was pretty cool in Scotland . It was like , well it was a little pointier than that . At first I thought it was a dead leaf .
User Interface: Marketing: And then it landed on the wall next to me . But this part was all brown and then it has these big blue dots like this . And then it kinda there was a green , I think it was a green ring , and there was like red going out like this .
Project Manager: It's kinda like a peacock .
User Interface: Marketing: Yeah , it kinda was actually , 'cause it was This part of the body was really dull , and then it was the most colourful exotic butterfly ever , and I'm like , wow this is the middle of Scotland in like March .
Project Manager: Industrial Designer: Marketing: So I thought that was pretty cool . And it landed by a wall and let me look at it for about two minutes . I wish I'd had my camera . So that's gonna be my favourite animal because after all the snow it seemed to say that like Spring is finally here . Yeah .
Industrial Designer: Very nice . Marketing: There you go .
Project Manager: Great .
Marketing: Uh , what do we Oh .
Project Manager: Do you hear the eraser buzzing while you do that ?
Marketing: Yes I do .  Project Manager: Yea Right .
Marketing: Project Manager: So , now that we know how to use the whiteboard ,
Industrial Designer: Okay .

Summary: The team took turns to draw their favourite animals on the whiteboard while discussing what characteristics of that animal they liked. Project Manager's favourite animal at the time was an elk, since she considered it a large beautiful majestic creature that can overcome harsh terrain and defend itself. Industrial Designer followed with a cat, favoured for its independence and always knowing what they were doing. User Interface drew a dog, for dogs were trainable and friendly. Finally, Marketing chose a butterfly, seeing it as the symbol of spring arriving.
