At
the end of our first group task it was required that we complete a
self-evaluation of how we believe we have preformed during the brief.
What
roles did you take on in the group?
Firstly,
in the group I helped out during ideas generation, which was challenging due to
contrasting views and opinions. Additionally, I also had an input with
collecting research on flyers and different bespoke ways they can display
information. I also created vector objects that would be displayed on the
flyer, used as visual aids next to the tips. Finally, as a group we all had
equal rolls during the final presentation of our products.
How
well do you think you preformed in the roles?
I
believe that I preformed the roles well, I had an equal input with group
discussions about ideas and adaptations to our product. Moreover, the vector
objects I created were in context with the style of the rest of the design and
where completed on time.
How
well do you think you worked as a group?
Overall,
as a group I believe we worked really well together, there was a good group
dynamic which enabled us to get work done fast. We faced some problems early on
when generating ideas, as there were conflicting ideas about how certain things
should have been done. However, we had
discussions until the problems were resolved. All members of the group were
focused and punctual which resulted in us completing the project on time and to
a high standard.
What
were the positives of working in a group?
The
main positives of working in a group was the variation of ideas, because there
was so many conflicting tastes and interests everyone in the group had
something different to offer when generating ideas. Furthermore, the workload
could be divided between members of the group that enabled us to complete a
good amount of work in time to meet the deadline.
What
were the negatives of working in a group?
Some
of the main negatives of working in a group that I noticed was when generating
ideas a lot of the idea either clashed or would not work together. Deciding
which idea to carry forward was a challenge, we overcame this problem by
discussing as a group what idea worked best. Additionally, it was difficult
when dividing up the design work as we had never seen each others work or had
any idea what interests or style other members of the group might have had.
Moreover, because of the number of people in the group (5) there was sometimes
not enough work to be divided equally between everyone.
What
will you do differently next time?
When
next working in a group I will be sure to find out what peoples design
preferences are. I will do this early on in the design process, this way I will
have an idea of what people’s interests and strengths are. This will make
dividing individual design tasks up a lot easier.
Where
could you have improved your resolution?
I
believe that the content and layout of the flyer and poster was relevant to our
target audience and displayed the information well. However, I believe we could
have managed our time better and spent more time preparing for our presentation.
What
were the strengths of your presentation?
