Week 11 Callaboration

Group Exercise - DISCUSSION

Reflection

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

01 – What is the difference between reflection and criticism?
Reflection is looking at the circumstances and the overall design and criticism is the opinions to improve on something unless it is positive criticism.

02 – Can you reflect while you are designing?
yes, it is always good to reflect on your process and know what direction your heading in.

03 – Do you set aside time for reflection?
Yes, I often think about what im doing, and i think more time doing would improve my effectiveness.

04 – Do you make notes on your reflections?
Yes, if i come up with ideas i write them down, for our course we have to blog so i have been reflecting and writing them into my blog.


05 – When is the best time to reflect?
When you are stuck and when you are unsure. Also if you are on a roll with your work and need to slow down for a sec and see how your going and other options. 

06 – Do you compare your work to work by your heroes?
I dont really have any design heroes. I do get inspiration from other work. But i don't really compare.

07 – How do you benefit by comparison?
Comparing myself to other works can be good and bad. You cant compare yourself to amazing designers because of disappointment but you can certainly be inspired by them.

08 – What can be a disadvantage of comparison?
Disappointment and discouragement

Blog Exercise – Moving On / Encouraging solutions

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

1 . Are you brave enough to move on and adopt new and unexpected ideas?
Yes and no. Im a person who doesn't like change. afraid of failure. However if i am inspired by something and i believe it can work and i can visualise it in my head then i usually go for gold.

2. Describe how you have encouraged others with a solution to their design problems
I have been asked my opinion on other peoples works which I feel privileged by.  I usually give my feedback and solutions to enhance it.

This video explains the difference between a positive and negative response to critisism and the reasons why we use them. It also shows good ways to act and things to say to question the other person if you are unsure or dont agree with what the other person is saying.
