Week 10 Collaboration - Moving on

Group Exercise - DISCUSSION
Moving On

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, i've changed my design concepts a few times
02 – If so, was it hard?
yes it was rather hard, because i really liked the idea, but i incorporated a bit of the old concept into the new concept
03 – Do you think it is easy to miss a better idea if it is not the first one?
sometimes yes, because you are really worked up and focused on the first idea and you leave everything else out
04 – Do you have any techniques for creating unpredictable ideas?
mixing random words together is a fun way to do it
05 – Is logic the best way to attack a design problem?
if it is for a brief or job, but for a personal design, you should try to think outside the box
06 – What other problem solving methods could work?
look on the net for some inspiration or new techniques/ styles 
07 – Do you ever doubt your design decisions?
sometimes yes, i wonder why i chose to use a particular style or medium
08 – Do you ever consciously put on “another hat” to get inspiration?
yes, i try different things to get new ideas or ways to mix styles and techniques together 
09 – Describe somebody opposite to you in relation to their design approach?
a friend i knew back in high school would get inspirations form the net but would do nearly the exact same but just a ad different
10 – Could you imagine designing like them?
not quite, because i want my work to be original and its hard to be original if someone else has already done it and your just copying


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
i give them alternative ideas on their concepts, using their original concept/ ideas but twisting it slightly or adding in/ removing cretin things

2. Describe how you have challenged designs by other students in your group
by taking 1 idea and maybe twisting/ adding in an idea form another person, putting them together to see the results of our group

3. Are you flexible when others suggest design improvements / changes?
i don't mind the feed back from others, i think they help so i give their idea a try and add it in and if it doesn't look/ feel right i can undo it back to the original and try another idea

4. Choose a design that group input has changed radically. Post before & after images.

 

The 2 images above were uploaded by myself

5. Describe the process of shifting the design solution radically.
 The change isn't to big, but i thought it helped fill the empty negative spaces. the dots also give it the computer chip look, as if you would see on an actual computer chip
