Week 10 Callaboration

Group Exercise - DISCUSSION

Discuss these questions in relation to a group creating a design in collaboration

01 – Have you had to abandon any exhibition design concepts so far?
Yes, I have been throwing many ideas around trying to figure out the most effective. 

02 – If so, was it hard?
No, because i came up with the one I would like to do most.

03 – Do you think it is easy to miss a better idea if it is not the first one?
Sometimes, because you can hold onto an idea if you really like it and miss out on something better if you don't expand your horizons.

04 – Do you have any techniques for creating unpredictable ideas?
Nah, just flick through magazines, websites, vidoes, etc.

05 – Is logic the best way to attack a design problem?
Not always. Its better to go with what you feel will look best. Use creativity first then logic to ensure it will work out.

06 – What other problem solving methods could work?
Ask for help from others and research how other people have done it.

07 – Do you ever doubt your design decisions?
Yes, sometimes. Depends if i am confident with it or not. 

08 – Do you ever consciously put on ��another hat�� to get inspiration?
Not really

09 – Describe somebody opposite to you in relation to their design approach?
Someone who is organised and decides straight away what they want. I guess you could say im a bit indecisive.

10 – Could you imagine designing like them?
Would love to make decisions like that! Unfortunately I pay too much attention to detail.

Blog Exercise – Encouraging Solutions

In regard to creative collaboration:
Discuss these questions - write a paragraph on each and use examples

1 . Describe how you have contributed to design solutions for other group members
Josie and i both sat down with my idea and tweaked it. It was good to work together and decide on better solutions. 

2. Describe how you have challenged designs by other students in your group
In class we have group discussions and group criticism. 

3. Are you flexible when others suggest design improvements / changes?
 yes, i love a second eye.
