OUGD401 How to ...Evaluation

How to...-Self Evaluation

What Role(s) did you take on in the Group?
-Took part in Researching the theme- Collected Magazines
-Helped to come up with the ideas i.e what we was going to do, layout idea and what we were having on each page
-The Middle double page spread was decided upon that i would design that.
-Wasnt really given a huge rold but i felt i made up for that when generating the ideas.

How well do you think ypu performed in the role(s)?
-I think i performed well and contributed as much as i could to the group effort. Keeping inconstant contact with my group throughout the week helped to create a consistant looking magazine. As the roles were all split into individual efforts. So each member had one page to design.

How well do you think you worked as a group?
I think as a group we worked well considering the circumstances, each knew eachothers strengths, however as we seperated to do out individual work it became an issue because it wasnt as grouped as it should have been, up until the end when we all discused wether anything needed changing or rectifying but this should have been done throughout.

What were the positives of working in a group?
-Positives able to give people roles to do. The constant speaking and interaction with eachother even though it was hard due to eachothers other committments to make sure the work was consistent,.

What were the negatives in a group?
-Some members attendance wasnt full for that week, made it difficult to work together. Felt quite rushed when it came to finalising the final outcome ready for print. And also felt that some members were to quick to shoot down other peoples ideas without giving them a spare thought!

What will you do differently next time ?
Work more as a group, by creating the pages togther ot even in twos or threes. Also leave more time for the tweaking of pages.

Where could you have improved your resolution?
Think the printing could have been improved by tryin to find somewhere that would be able to print A1 double sided as it made the resolution look shabby in the end having to stick two pieces of card together.

What were the strengths of your presentation?
The strengths were that as we went off on our won to do our own pages we all managed to talk about out own individual pages fluently and well, and even if one member wasnt there i would imagine we would be able to tell the audience why they did what the did due to the constant interaction with eachother. So we all knew what to talk about.
