During the first week back after Easter Break, we were given the chance to take part in a collaboration project with students from the Lens Based Media course. The brief for this project was quite ambiguos and led us to question the possible outcomes for this project. We had to decide on a group of four, keeping it balanced between Graphics students and LBM students but due to issues with numbers, my group was left with only one LBM student and three Graphics students.
My group consisted of Nagi, an illustrator from Graphics; Amy, a designer from Graphics; Lauren, a photographer from LBM and myself. Due to all knowing each other already, we were able to assign particular jobs to each of us due to our skillsets and set out pretty quickly on developing an idea. We had decided to merge all our ideas for FMP due to their similar connection to mental health and psychology and how these are effected by external factors.
Due to this also being a week mainly used for our FMP, we did not manage our time for this project very well and lost 2 days on just organising research we could put forward to our group and were left to the last day to create a visual outcome and presentation.
Although it was a new experience collaboration with students from another course, which I believe is a good idea in terms of work due to the opportunity to expand into other mediums I may not be comfortable with but due to the issues with numbers meaning we had only one LBM students, there was not much difference to how we worked and it ended with a mainly Graphic-type outcome. There was also an issue with work ethic from half the group and it ended up meaning we had a very rushed outcome that I was not particularily happy with.
