How to... Self evalaution

What role did you take on in the group?
I felt that i was a key part in the brainstorming and that i made some good points. i helped out on the photoshop and illustrator software. I made sure the team kept on the time schedule. I also made sure to take on parts on producing the final outcome in the given time schedule. 

How well do you think you worked as a group?
I did all the assigned roles to the best of my abilities.
How well do you think you worked as a group?
We worked well as a group but at times there wasn't something for everyone to do so some group members felt left out at times. This could of been solved by making sure everyone had fixed roles in the group after all the brainstorming was done.
What were the positives of working in a group?
We could bounce ideas off each other when need for each decision to make sure it was the best. People with different skill backgrounds could contribute interesting new ideas.
What were the negatives of working in a group?
Not always being able to do what you want and having to talk to everyone in the group before an idea was made in order to get the whole group involved and so no one disagreed, this sometimes took much more time then it should of.
Where could you have improved your resolution?
By everyone doing the typeface, that would of saved much more time and we would not of had to download a font which didn't exactly fit with the hand rendered one we decided on as a group. As a group we could of made less complicated decisions around small factors in the project this would of saved much more time.
What were the strenghts of your presentation?
We had two main speakers which made it less confusing for the audience to understand what we were saying. We talked through how we got to our main concepts clearly and why it would solve our initial problem. We gave out handouts which got the audience not only listening but looking at more images of our work.
