Week 12 Collaboration

Group Exercise - DISCUSSION

Reviewing

Discuss these questions in relation to a group creating a design in collaboration

01 – What are the 3 best things about your efforts for this year’s exhibition?

Time management, I have really surprised myself with getting things done to set time limits and have not had to rush to get things done.

Team work, I have been able to work in a team and accept constructive criticism better

Originality, I am surprised I stayed with an original idea even though it scared me and gave me lots of obstacles.

02 – Did you manage time well?

Yes I have complete things on time and not feeling rushed or worried.

03 – Did you manage materials well i.e. test prototypes?

Yes, which surprised me because I was very daunted at the beginning getting the first prototype done. Made the decision to take my time and put a lot of effort into the prototype so I could just add to it as my final product.

04 – Have you researched installation methods?

Only a little bit, I need to have a pair of nails in the wall to hang my box frames and will need to get hold of a plinth. As for lighting haven’t really looked into it.

05 – Have you made a shortlist of the essentials for the last WEEK?

No, but lighting is one thing on my mind for “to-do”

06 – Have you made a shortlist of the essentials for the last DAY?

I am hoping everything is set up and ready to go before the last day so I don’t have to do anything because I have an operation the day before so I don’t want to have to organize anything if maybe I haven’t recovered so I have given myself earlier dead lines.

Blog Exercise – Using Failure

In regard to creative collaboration & the exhibition:

Discuss these questions - write a paragraph on each and use examples

1 . List and describe 2 areas of failure in your preparation for Ten Squared

Creating a logo, even though I had designs they didn’t reflect our exhibition well. I was really disappointed in my designs.

Designing invitation, I tried to design one but it didn’t appeal to anyone and when I tried to help create a different one we voted on to save time I ended up wasting more time because I had it at the wrong dimensions.

2. Describe how you could realistically improve on this next time you exhibit

Try brainstorm ideas before I just build on one idea and fixate on a design that doesn’t meet the brief.

When creating the layout ensure print mode, art-board dimensions and graphic are all the right size and resolution.
