Team Collaboration, #8

Most of the projects I have completed so far with the company involve some form of teamwork. It can be as small as commenting their thoughts to producing the design live on a call. Before tackling any project, we tend to discuss the method and strategies for each task involved. There are some coworkers within the company that can give greater insight or knowledge. By sharing techniques, the project becomes easier to complete. For example, my supervisor instructed me to design a t-shirt for clients who joins as members. I received a single simple image and a QR code. However, the supervisor had a basic idea of how the shirt should look.

We discuss the ideas on a call and even share reference images to get a better understanding. The reason I listen to my supervisor’s words carefully as he has a deep connection with the target audience. The shirt design is minimal as we didn’t receive the dimensions yet. I added minor elements to the shirt. I wanted it to stand out with the athlete signature on the back and the client membership level on the sleeve. The company liked the design so I created more for the different member levels (Green/Platinum/Black). We tend to double-check on each other works to provide quality control. Sometimes, A person can get multiple projects that are too much to handle.

We might need help from others by sharing those files so our coworkers can complete them. I had a coworker send me a thank you card that was about 25 percent completed. It is sent with each product sold via shipping, like a receipt. We needed to prioritize saving as much space as possible on the Thank you Cards. During our calls, I would share my screen to make collapsing more interactive. It helps reduce the number of texts sent back and forth. Also, the coworker and I can struggle to understand the text. We should be mindful of language barriers as she is bilingual (French/English). With all the digital communication tools available to us in this age, there is no excuse for not using them to make work easier.
