What did you learn today?
Today we got our first taste of what it is like to work on a design and team and with some minor time constraints. We tested our abilities to read copy and check for spelling mistakes and general use of hierarchy. It was great to get a feel for the environment we will be working in and get a general understanding of the work we will be doing as a part of Faculty Commons.
What challenges did you face?
Not too many challenges just yet but we definitely tested our creative skills right off bat. Right away we were coming up with our own concepts and executions for certain projects that are consistent parts of the work at FC. It was good pressure as well as fun to be able to put our own creative endeavors and ideas towards ways in which we visually communicate at City Tech.
How did you plan to overcome them?
By not getting to stressed and taking time researching and even googling I often find new ideas. Even going for a walk can help me jog my creative juices and become inspired on how to tackle a certain project.
What way were you able to help each other?
We are a creative team. And for that matter we are all assets to each other. We can each bounce ideas of each other as well as make comments/critiques on each others work in order to make much better stuff. Were all here to positively enforce each other and make better and better work.
Hi Jermey. Exactly, each of these projects is to help give insight on how we work here at FC, and a practice for what is to come as you work with your clients.
I keep saying this to everyone cause it’s true; research is essential to a well thought out design. I was happy to see you used taking a break to refresh yourself and thought of photographing parts of the school. It came out very well.
Giving feedback to your fellow designers is a key part here, so I’m happy you all gave some critique to each other while still pointing out things you all did well in.
