GROUP PROCESS

When this project got assigned i was extremely happy to be a part of a real event. This was not only my first event project but also working with six other group members. It did get challenging working with so many different ideas from so many different kinds of people but overall I thought we did a great job! We didn't assign different parts of the project to certain people, we all just put our heads together and came up with the concept, sketches, and designs together. The hard part about that route was not everyone got to do as much as they wanted because one or two main people did the work while the others were just like "put that there" or "no change the color on that." The good part was we all knew our concept and what we wanted our finishing goals to be so we were all on the same page throughout the project. As interesting and fun as the project was I wouldn't want to be grouped with six members again (thats why Im really looking forward to the homeless project.) We all worked together nicely though and we all gave input so what more can I ask for? I learned how to work with people and communicate well so we were all on the same page throughout the process. I think communication is very key when your working with others and i realized that through this process. I also learned how to work quick and efficiently because we did only have two weeks to finish! In a career with graphic design i think there are going to be times when there will be a tight time limit and you will need to be able to crank out a project in a small period and it will need to be just as successful as if you had all the time in the world. Overall I thought passion for fashion was a great project and I worked with some outstanding designers who had great ideas. I would eventually love to do something like that again by myself so I could use all my ideas and concepts (this is me just being selfish) because there was so much I wanted to do but with six people sometimes I couldn't get all my ideas across. I thought for only two weeks we did a damn good job together! Thank you group!
