Today we looked forward to our exhibition and reflected on our efforts so far.
Group Exercise - DISCUSSION
Reviewing
Discuss these questions in relation to a group creating a design in collaboration
01 – What are the 3 best things about your efforts for this year's exhibition?
- Speaking to potential sponsors face to face
- Giving input to the Ten Squared Design Logo
- I am learning about how an exhibition goes together behind the scenes
02 – Did you manage time well?
We overshot a couple of deadlines but generally pulled everything together in the time provided
03 – Did you manage materials well i.e. test prototypes?
Yes i was amazed how quickly i could assemble my 3D Coffee Table frame
04 – Have you researched installation methods?
Yes, see previous blogs in the last month for research
05 – Have you made a shortlist of the essentials for the last WEEK?
Yes I have made a shortlist for all the assessments due in order of priority
06 – Have you made a shortlist of the essentials for the last DAY?
No I have a rough idea in my mind but i may need to write it all down
Blog Exercise – Using Failure
In regard to creative collaboration & the exhibition:
Discuss these questions - write a paragraph on each and use examples
1 . List and describe 2 areas of failure in your preparation for Ten Squared
- Our driving around to businesses was a fail because we thought they would like a friendly face however they were a bit scared of us coming in and asking for donations.
- I didn't like my Logo Drafts I had submitted to be be chosen for the Ten Squared Logo Design
2. Describe how you could realistically improve on this next time you exhibit
- If we called the businesses and emailed them the forms we could have saved a lot more time.
- I think that if I worked on more designs for the Ten Squared logo, I would be happier with the result of my best contribution towards the logo. But I am still happy with Josie's chosen logo

YouTube Clip
Effective Communication Commercial
Commentary
This is a commercial for Ford Focus. The clip is only 30 seconds in duration but makes the definition of communication quite simple. It also shows that communication does not just have to be from human to human. It can be in technology as well. I chose this video because collaboration has a lot to do with the communication between humans and humans as well as humans and technology.
Reflection
This was our last week of collaboration blogs. The questions asked this week allow us to think about our design efforts for exhibition, reflect on how we have been preparing and based on experience how we could improve next time. Collaboration as a subject has been fun discovering different aspects about each other and ourselves. This will help us understand human interaction when we enter the workplace in our chosen field.
