this brief has definitely taught me a lot about a number of different design considerations. i have enjoyed working on this brief and feel, as a group, we have produced a decent outcome, especially in comparison to previous years yearbooks.
firstly i feel that we worked well as a group. there were the inevitable minor disagreements and tense moments but these never resulted in major arguments or fall outs and i feel as though we were all able to communicate our true opinions and feelings without fear of conflict or persecution by the rest of the group. danielle assumed the natureal role of leadership and did extremely well with it. she took on a majority of the work load and allocated jobs well also. leo took on the imfographic role which was definitely suited to him. and because jordans took on most of the visual side of the work, something which i feel as though i would have been suited to but that jordan excecuted very well, i was left to do the more menial and arduous tasks. i didnt mind so much because i felt like i wasa contributing to the group still, however, i feel as though my design skills could have been utlised better. but then i could have attempted to voice this better.
my organisation skills within this project are what improved the most. the development and sorting out of all the contents and flow of the yearbook was very confusing at times but i stuck with it and was able to produce the final contents successfully which dictated the whole yearbook actuaslly.
i had fun producing the tribal font with jordan and was able to develop my understanding of working aesthetically relevant typography. i was also able to develop my layout understanding and critical content organisation within a yearbook publication.
i feel as though my contribution to the group was initally lacking however i think i managed to balance things out with the ammount of work i put in while completing the many menial tasks towards the final stages.
next time i will make more of an effort to show the skills i have to the group in order for them to delegate me more important/well fitting tasks.
overall, however, i feel as though the outcome was a very successful one that truly communicates the ethos of the PTSPD course and successfully embodies the mentality and work of the students included within it.
