our final project

i won't attach the final project here because its simply too much, but i would just like to highlight certain lessons learnt from this group project that i've gathered across the few weeks i've worked on this storybook.

1) i think that i've learnt that having contacts is a very important thing, it really helped that one of the group members had an ex-neighbour that is in the printing business and it made working with the printer much easier.

2) i think that having to be able to work around the different technical limitations is sometimes so difficult it may lead to a lot of conflict. for instance, we had one group member who did not have adobe illustrator, this caused a lot of vexation and hassle for all of us.

3) sometimes i wonder if giving a fair allocation of jobs is better than actually giving an uneven workload and getting things done faster and better. and it seems extra difficult in terms of design, where each group member is so differently skilled in different areas.

4) and lastly, children's storybooks are indeed NOT EASY to publish!

tutorial 6: our hardest assignment yet!

i think when everyone got to class for tutorial, there was a resounding groan of "man, this is our toughest assignment yet!" and i have to agree. i took more than two nights to do my postcard and the different colour scheme got me bonkers by the end of it.

ms siti was suggesting that my original and chosen colour scheme was in fact not the best colour scheme there was. we spent a while trying to determine it and i decided to go with the attached. ms siti also recommended i add more stuff to the postcard otherwise it might look a bit sparse and this is what i did... it doesn't look like much difference but it is something different at least...
