As you can see above the website is taking shape and it's got content on most of the pages. The content will be updated and added to as the website evolves into something bigger and more followed. Right now it's at a point where we can fine tune it and see how it functions.
Nick completed many of the graphics for the website as I was building it so it was a parallel development if you could call it that. This collaboration has gone quite well having us both with similar visions that guide the project in various directions. In past projects I've been very adamant that somebody needs to lead the project, whether it's me or not somebody needs to have a single vision. This project proved that that doesn't necessarily need to happen all the time. We might've been less productive because we often had to stop and make sure we were still heading in the same direction, but it made the environment of collaborating different. It felt as if we had a shared responsibility and so we both pulled our weight in what we had to do. The project was ours, not mine, not Nicks, but ours. It was a developing vision that grew inside both of our heads as we went, which is rather refreshing.
The project will definitely continue into the future after this subject ends. We need to now present our project and talk of possible future developments. Hopefully we can get a bit more work on the website done before we present and have something the class can look at.
The reflection for this project will be interesting to see what we've learned not only from the project content itself, but how we learned about the way we interact with people in projects. I find I'm probably more relaxed than I used to be. I'm not so tense and tied up with projects. I feel like I've let go a bit and come back to an artistic developmental manner than one that is restricted as design studies sometimes makes you.
