Reflection of the Project

This project was a challenge for me. I am obviously not great with cardboard. However, I learned how to find solutions. I learned not to argue with people. I learned that time is a factor in the creating process. I was not sure how much this project would teach me, but I now know what a location can do for the word. I can now tell someone about fonts and how they can manipulate the way you understand a word. The placement of a word is important. You can not just but disrupt anywhere and have it be disruptive. I felt that the bus stop was the most disruptive.
Deciding on a certain way to manipulate the word was the hardest. We had so many ideas and I felt like I was just overwhelmed. I wanted to stick with just one idea because I knew time was a factor. But we all took our letters and we finished them on time. Well, some of us did. It was really hard to get everyone together because of schedules. I still feel like our project is unfinished.
The solutions I found for my letters was clear tape. I had thicker cardboard and the tabs were hard to create with that thickness, so I used clear tape and I found that it worked pretty well. We had trouble with the inside of our letters. We wanted bright wrapping paper, but we did not buy it in time. Our solution for that problem was paint on the inside. Some letters had painted paper and some had painted cardboard. Through all of this, I have learned that you better talk out your ideas and the constraints that you will have before getting started. Communication is the key to life.
