How To ... Self Evaluation

Self Evaluation of the How To Brief

What role(s) did you take on in the group ?
I developed/designed the four main option screens for the app. These had the categories of Travel, Food, University and Nights Out or Events. I sourced the information, tips on money saving and links to helpful sites for all four options. I also chose the type for the whole app.

How well do you think you performed in the role(s) ?
I think I chose a type that kept in line with the tone of the app, and was suitable to the target audience. The options screens I developed where thorough and fit in well with the rest of the app, although some of the information i.e. links weren't good enough or researched enough.

How well do you think you worked as a group ?
As a group I think we where okay, I dont think we where as organised as we should of been and I felt that some people didn't voice thier opinions enough. Aswell as this I think some of the time people where uncertain on what they where doing and we where quite indecissive to begin with.

What where the posotives of working in a group ?
There are alot more ideas and some you'd never think of yourself. You can learn other skills from members of your group and use them for yourself. People have different skills so it can help you to create something more diverse and people can be assigned to different roles so everyone can use thier strengths. Aswell as this members of the group can point out mistakes or considerations you'd forgotten about or never thought about.

What were the negatives of working in a group?
As we are all new we don't really know each others strengths and weaknesses so we just assumed roles. You don't necessarily follow your own design style or design something you shows your best work. A group can be hard to organise. Some people where assigned more work than others.

What will you do differently next time ?
Try to be more organised, make decisions quicker and try to incorporate my own design style/intentions.

Where could you have improved your resolutions ?
We should of made buisness cards for the presentation , and we should of done more research and development. We also all felt that our How To ..., was slightly boring and we werent as inspired as what we might of been.

What were the strengths of your presentation ?
Our visuals were all final and clear, we had clearly met the considerations of the brief. We where to the point and unconfusing.
