week 10 Collaboration

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?

Learning more skills in Illustrator.

Getting faster with each page.

Collaborating with other students.

Here is a video about Effective Teamwork and collaboration. Its a little bit long but has some great little drawings to go along with the tutorial.

 

02 – Did you manage time well?

I seem to have spent every spare moment illustrating the brownie book, the captain Ron book and blogging. I’m running out of time for my other assignments though.

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

Yes. I printed the book out on normal paper as a prototype and had a look at the paper stock at the printers before I had it printed

04 – Have you researched installation methods?

I’ve had a look at some plinth and book stands on the internet, and have some ideas, I like a pure white background rather that a brick wall.  I like a book stand that attaches to the wall – (can the exhibitionist do this) – if not possible just a plain white plinth with a table top stand (white or clear Perspex). Had a look at some plinths in this building – need a paint job.  How do we do the sign/plaque thingy.

I had a look at some display images on the internet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

No.

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

No. haven’t even finished my books yet.

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 the exhibition

Not taking time of work to work on projects! – TIME. Its crazy working full time and studying part time. I wish I had taken a year off work to do this certificate, rather than trying to do it part time over several years. Anyway – nearly there!

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

Make sure I am not working on too many projects at one time.
