Collaboration - Meeting

Catch up with group

We organised to meet up today to catch up with one another and see where we are at as the deadline is less than a week away.


The next step in the process was to decide on the words we will use to convey the intended message and back up that of the photographs. We explored all kinds of different slogans and phrases as well as considering humour and even film quotes.

Someone then had the idea to use the famous quote "why so serious?" as it is easily recognisable by everyone let alone our target audience. It also conveys the intended message of having fun and not taking things to seriously.


With this idea we then moved to a computer and began producing the final designs. We played around with a number of different typefaces, type size etc until we were all happy with the outcome. We all really liked the slogan and thought it would work well reading along the series of 3 posters. However we came across an issue when we put the posters next to each other with the slogan. As the middle word of the slogan is so small, it didn't have the intended effect and looked out of place. This has led us to reconsider the the slogan and instead revert to one of our other ideas of using three separate words that each convey the message in their own way. What we produced in the time we had today is shown below.



Moving forward, we will meet up again tomorrow to bring together the words we have come up with to use instead of the existing slogan. Once we have that decided, it will then be a matter of putting it all together for submission.

My experience:

My experience of the meet up today was different to the previous ones as there were times where I would make suggestions but because there are 4 of us involved, some of my suggestions were rejected to my disappointment. I've come to realise that a large part of working in a team is compromising with the other team members. Even so, we eventually all came to an agreement so I wasn't bothered by it.
