As agreed with the team members, the final design for our submission for The Grown Up Chocolate Company was better than we expected. Working with Hannah and Siobhan was easy as they were as motivated as I were with the brief. When we were doing our own set tasks, we still were able to help each other out by using online messaging in which we all replied to each other right away. We only really met 3 times together, and one with just Hannah and I. It was difficult to find time to meet up as we had other work going on and there was a week where Siobhan was ill and one where Hannah and I were in Berlin. So when we did meet, the meetings were productive as it allowed us to focus on the brief and vocalise our ideas whilst being in the moment.
When we were first told we were to collaborate with others in different courses, I was worried and scared as it is out of my comfort zone and I was scared I wouldn't find anyone to work with which wasn't the case at all. I felt more relaxed as we all met each other as I already knew and talked to Hannah. Eventually, it got easier to talk to each other because we all knew that we didn't want to let each other down or slack so we just all did the work and communicated with each other.
The reason why I had chosen this brief is because I have a keen interest in packaging design and pattern design. The brief was very vague about what it wanted us to produce which was exciting as it allows us to be open-minded but at the same time it was difficult as we had no direction and were struggling for ideas. Nevertheless, the final design turned out really well and we are all proud of what we have produced from the pattern design to the packaging design to the webpage design. I am very happy to have worked with Hannah and Siobhan and it makes me more positive about working with the people.
