HOW TO - self evaluation

What roles did i take on in the group? - We all worked together as a team however we all contributed in different ways. I had the role of coming up with a slogon and taking photographs of our prototypes and helping make the prototypes. We all helped eachother.

How well did i think i performed the roles? - I enjoy photography so i enjoyed this role. My slogan was used in the final idea ' Managing time/meals' so i think i responded to my roles well.

How well did we work as a goup?- At first all of our ideas were very different, we all had our individual ways of solving a problem and presenting it, but as we progressed we came together and worked out a way in which everyones idea's can we used in on final.

What were the positives of working in a group?- We found we had a larger choice of ideas and variation in skill, it also make managing our breifs deadline easier as everyone could be alicated a job to do, instead of one person doing it all. It was also a great oppourtunity to meet and get to know others in my class.

What were the negatives of working in a group?- A contrast of opinions, we found it hard at frist to include everyones thoughts, also listening to everyones say in group discussions was hard because some people were more confident than others.

What will i do differently next time?- I will present my work with print instead of all digital based, i will be more prepared for last muinet changed and desicions. Manage my time, and the most important is to explore options and more REASEARCH.

Where could i have improved my resolution?- It would have helped if everyone in out group made more effort, also been more confident in the presentation!

What were the strengths of my presentaion?-  Organisation of the work and ideas, it all linked towards a finished peice. was comical and most importantly we had some good speakers.

How to final
















Our final design.
After coming back together to discuss and view all of our ideas
we found that each one was
 very different!
so we decided to keep it simple but eye-catching.
we used comical quotes to attract our audience,
bright colours and bold type.
we were pleased with the outcome visually and work well as a group in the end.






















We then narrowed all of our ideas down to just three solutions,
 we then let our peers decide which idea to go ahead with.
they chose recipes on a usb stick with flyers to advertise.

Summer Breif Final
