Collobrative Evaluation

Evaluation.

Hannah Lloyd.

What did I learn from this brief?
This brief has clarified a few things for me, which is going to improve how i work alot in the future. I over complicate. We wasted two weeks attempting to come up with an idea that just ended up being really confusing, and we used the posters that i created in about ten minutes. I think i got it in my head that it is all about concept and thats what makes good design. Which is still true, but that took over things a bit too much and stopped being able to make things that just look good. In a way i think i deal with concept without even realising it, and when i start to think too much it gets a bit confusing!

What skills did i use?
I think me and Jai worked well as a team, so i guess we both used teamwork skills. We have worked together before so we knew that we had a set of skills that complimented each other. I think i was good at time management and keeping with the project file, making us stick to our aims. I would like to think i helped with the idea development and driving the concept, but i think it was kind of because of me being so driven by concept that we ended up in the muddle. But it worked out for us in the end.
I did learn some presentation skills. It had never really been necessary for me to usie 'guides' in Photoshop/illustrator, to properly line things up and make masters.

What do I want to improve?
The areas i want to work on from now on are to crafting, presentation and simplicity. I think this is the key for me from now on. The areas i am probably going to go into are image making within advertising and promotional material. Thats my initial thoughts anyway, similar things to these posters.

Did we work well as a team?
Yes i think we did. The only thing i think we struggled with was the communication about our ideas, we both struggle with presenting and correctly explaing our ideas. But i think the fact that we know each other quite well meant that we always understood what the other was trying to put across. I felt that our idea bounced off some designs that i had previously done, which then was presented and lined up by Jai and we used her general skills within photoshop and illustrator.
However, next time i would like to work with someone i am not close friends with, i think it would motivate me more as i would not want to let the other person down. If it is someone your are friends with already it is all alot more relaxed.
