OUGD406 - Studio Brief 3 - Evaluation

This project has been the first real attempt at collaboration with a group that I have found extremely successful, I find that as our practice grows as a class, we are more able to manage our time and communication effectively. This is probably due to feeling more comfortable around our peers than the start of the year but also all having a greater knowledge of design principles and theories in order to apply the right solution to the given problem. After a slow start to the project, the prolonged time period has helped our team develop a communication with each other which has thrived as our group has become closer and built a more developed concept. Aspects such as the contract and Facebook group chat has given our group good organisational and time management skills and I find that having a diverse group has brought multiple skill sets to our project. As a group we wanted to think about every possible element to our exhibition from the invites and who its going to be invited, down to the budget and pricing. I believe that this depth in our project is what has helped us progress to being in the final 4 possible choices. As we have not given our speech to First Direct, I cannot give a full evaluation to how the full project has gone however, we are making good progress towards our final presentation with multiple test pieces and samples being printed and made.
