What did you learn today?

Today we learned the process of working with a client in an efficient and productive manner.  You want to be professional and very clear when working with a client in order to do great work in a timely manner. Specifically I learned how important it is to be clear on a specific date, and the amount and type of deliverables.  Clarifying these specifics with a client only make it easier to be organized when working on a project.

What challenges did you face?

Today we also started our own creative project that solely surrounds around our own creative ideas and experiences.  My main challenge today was coming up with a good concept that I am eager to work on.

How did I overcome this challenge?

By brainstorming and using some of my own experiences as well as humor I was able to come up with a concept for our “This is my Stop” project.  Luckily I take the subway enough and have plenty of experiences and complaints to add character to my own project in a way that entertains myself and makes me eager to keep working on it.

In what way were you able to help each other?

By looking over each others work we can get an idea of everyone else’s ideas which often helps you or a team member spark their own new ideas.  It is certainly nice to be surrounded by other individuals who share an eagerness in designing and have very different ways about tackling a project.
