Whilst we were generating research we got approached by David asking if he could join our group. We thought it would be best if David knew our concept and brief first before he decided he wanted to be with us, otherwise there would just be trouble.
David liked our idea and so joined our group. We all had the same direction and tone in mind for this project and this was really beneficial. We as a group worked well together, we met up regularly, were in contact via email, forwarding back and forth work for evaluation, and we all brought something
different to the table and concentrated on that area. We also had no falling our , or drama it was a really positive experience working with David and Lizze, and I feel we came out with a strong brief from working together.
The reason we originally chose Uk greetings is because we both agreed that we wanted to do a project with a light tone, as the briefs most of the time are serious, this was our chance to have a bit of fun with a concept. And I think we successfully achieved it to make the project that way. Although we created a jokey, fun card I don’t think it hindered our professionalism, we e-mailed one and other when we wanted to discus work rather than using text of facebook, because email feels more
professional and is used in more professional ways. We also filtered to content so that it wouldn’t
offend anyone who is marking it or views it at YCN, which is a sign of professionalism.
This has been the most successful collaboration I have worked in, as it has actually been a collaboration we all had different talents and weakness’s which meant that we supported one and other and worked as a team, not how some collaborations go where one person does the lot and it’s awful.
The only problem we encountered was when the laser cutter didn’t work for creating our stamps, which was very frustrating as it was a main part of our visual look and concept have the card type made by the process of stamping, but it was just one of those unfortunate things and everyone was once again very Professional about it and just accepted and moved on quickly to come up with an idea of alternatives, and now we have learnt our lesson to be more aware of time scales when relaying on a machine as things can go wrong.
From this group work I have witnessed my different and beneficially ways of working, This was an
enjoyable project and I’d happily work with my group again.
