I was extremely happy with how effectively we all
worked together during this brief. I feel that we were very organised and
efficient, making sure to relay all information to each other and to the
tutors. We were always aware of deadlines, and when things needed to be
completed by - such as getting all of the content, taking photographs of work and
organising the students. In addition to this, when one of us was unable to
attend a meeting or a session, this wasn't a problem as any issues raised would
be discussed later on and everyone would be brought back into the loop - there
was always someone there when needed.
There was a lot of content and information we needed
to gather from the textiles students. With the help of Duncan, we were able to
post any necessary information on their main forum, setting up a dropbox where
files could be sent for us to use. We created a strong relationship with the
Textiles team, making sure to always be professional and organised.
As there was three of us, we had a range of skill
sets, allowing us to present and design effectively, whilst having equal
amounts of work to complete. Compromise was a main factor within this, allowing
everyone to have their own input and knowing when to back down. I didn’t
particularly think that I would enjoy working with type, grid and layout,
however I have become much more confident within this area of design,
broadening my practice and allowing me to strengthen my skills, which can then
be applied to my design context publication. The brief has been extremely
technical, which required more care and consideration than other briefs.
I am
extremely pleased with how this project has turned out, and we are all glad
that we decided to take it on. The content, layout and visuals all really
compliment us as individuals, as well as a working group, and this is something
that we will definitely be putting in our portfolios. Each step was managed
well in order to produce an outcome that we are proud of.
