Week 8

This week was the due date week of the assignment. Has been a hectic few days leading up to the exhibition getting everything finalized and fixed up.

Overall I'm happy with what was turned out, but I'd be lying if i said it was a pain-free journey. A few issues arose with the group that I wasn't happy with.

Assignment Reflection.

This assignment turned out pretty well but as far as a group project, i wasn't really happy with the way things were done. Honestly i feel that the majority of the work was done by Ben and myself.

From thursday-sunday we spent 8am-3am together working on model and fixing the report and panel so that we could get it printed and handed in on time. Despite us having steadily worked on the assignment for the past 2 weeks there was a surprising amount of work involved in creating the panel.

I feel like Jordyn single handedly wrote the report even though it was meant to be split up, and then Ben and I had to go through it several times to re-edit and fix it.

Alyssa honestly didn’t pull her weight. We assigned her a part of the report to write, but the whole section had to be re-written by Jordyn the re-edited by myself because it didn’t read properly and there were a few mistakes.

I CAD'd the entire nolli map and scale model within Revit, which granted i was happy to do as my part of the assignment, but then it was left up to me to do all the laser cutting myself (took over 2 days, and i had never used the machine before)

Jordyn, Alyssa and Ben then painted the model while I was sick but Ben and I had to later repaint it a lighter shade of grey because the first coat was way too dark.

The panel was done by Ben and I, we decided to just do it outselves to save time and frustration. Ben being far more proficient at photoshop did a lot of the laying out. I drew all the figures on the panel, even though I had asked the girls to draw some themselves. what they did draw I had to fix and redo because I felt like they weren't up the proper standard.


As far as group work goes, there was a lot of room for improvement, but over the past 2 years I've found this is generally the case with every group assignment. It's so hard to divide up the work evenly, for everyone to put in the same quality work and for everything to just come together perfectly.
