Project Report - Week 6

We're getting closer to submitting logo ideas to St. Joe's. As soon this is and a color scheme is finalized, it is just a matter of producing content in terms of editing video and graphic standards and templates. There are great logo ideas but as we all know, faces are one of the hardest things to draw.

—What’s going well?
I am glad it was decided we would work as a multi-functioning team because others have great ideas and contributions in the final say of the overall look of the project which is going to end with a great result. It is nice that there is a variety of skills at work here.

—What’s not going so well?
Much of the decision making is made during my work day (8-5) and I cannot participate then. When I have time to devote time to the project, I am already steps behind the new milestones because much of that time is sifting through emails to decipher where the group stands and what is needed. Also, it would seem the conversations conducted in the day have already come to a close before I have a chance to comment. This said, I feel I am 'that guy' that didn't contribute enough and makes a bad name for group projects.

—What are your goals for next week?
After Thursday's brainstorming and graphics session, I will have a clearer sense of the goals for the following week. One of the topics I would like to bring up is the photos that are going to be used in the video and perhaps the website. I would like to bring proofs of all the logos that were uploaded because that will give us a hard copy to mark up. This would also be a learning opportunity for anyone to learn basic photo retouching if we like pictures that are too dark or not quite right.
