OUGD406 - Studio Brief 03 - Collaborative Practice Evaluation

The work produced within this group was effective in communicating the key themes of our exhibition concept. The colour scheme and typefaces were consistent across both printed and digital media. The accompanying printed material was a strength of the group, along with the wayfinding and the social media presence. As a group we were organised, working efficiently together and taking into account each others strengths and weaknesses. We communicated well, kept accurate records of our ideas and our progress, and resolved issues quickly and efficiently. There was a slight lack of communication between members during the initial design stages, leading to a variety of different design directions being pursued, but this was rectified by the group planning to meet regularly to discuss new ideas and evaluate feedback before continuing with the designs work and planning of the exhibition. One member of the group was not present during the first meeting and initial idea generation stage of the project, but this absence was made up for with the quality of work they produced and the ideas they contributed. Discussions within the group were always structures and informative, and always relevant to the project’s progression. Although due to time constraints we were not able to present a new name for the exhibition in time for the academic submission, this is a problem that will be resolved in time for the next presentation to the sponsors of the exhibition. Personally, this group has been the most connected and productive group I have worked with so far this year.
