For Intern Magazine we had to get into groups of 5-6 people,
in my group there was me, Melissa H, Melissa G, Sarah G, Sam W, Caitlin and
Amy. Therefore there were 7 in our group. I personal think that having that
many people in a group isn’t good for such a small brief as there are only so
many jobs that needed to be done. Therefore if I were to do this brief again, I
would have got into a smaller group.
At first I was sceptical about the subject of our magazine,
but then when we all started discussing what we could do for it, what it would
include and the concept for it. I am really happy with the group I was in and
the subject we chose for our independent magazine, as I think it would be
really interesting. The presentations went really well apart from two of the
four covers for the seasons didn't come up on the screen. But other than that I
think that it went really well. The day was really interesting and I learnt a
lot. I also gained skills of working in larger groups, as there are more people
to please and make sure are happy, on the positive side, there are more peoples
ideas in the pot.
If I were to do this brief again I would have got into a
smaller group, or pushed the brief further to actually start producing some of
the spreads for the magazine and not just the covers. I think that we worked
well as a team and learnt a lot about kick-starter campaigns, and that if you
have a good idea that you should run with it, and there are ways and means of
doing this. Overall this was a really helpful day, learning new skills and
working more on kick-starters and conceptual ideas helped to think more about
the reasons behind why we do things.
