Teamwork

For school, whenever we are assigned group projects, I usually take the creative role because most of my group members would rather do the analytical and research part of the project while I focus on the symbolism in the illustrations and overall visual of the presentation. They don’t feel as comfortable with art as I do so I gladly will take the job of designing and creating the poster or presentation. But since this is a fashion design class, mostly everyone is taking it because they are creative and artistically talented and also serve the same group role that I usually do. So instead of having creative control over the entire project, I will have to collaborative to come to a group agreement over how the final piece should look like. I can’t just rely on my own ideas and having creative freedom over the project without someone else’s input interfere with my original vision. Everyone’s style is different so when their vision is as strong as mine, we can sometimes butt heads when trying to agree on how something should look. This sounds selfish and conceited I know, which is why I like doing art related things on my own. Cons of group work is if two or more people want to be in charge of a job or role, then deciding on who gets to do it or how they will fit both ideas into the same space is always tough. Pros of group work though is if that doesn’t happen, and everyone finds something they would rather do more than something else, then everyone is happy and they get to do what they want with the part they like to do. In groups I usually take the leadership role, because in small groups, my voice is loud and decisive that has an idea of the outcome in my head before it’s finished. Then if people have something they think would work, if it does, then it is integrated. Idk I just work better independently and I don't have to worry about anyone letting me down except for myself.

Also, do you like the new theme?

I'll add here the before and after screenshots
