Finished the project!

Application of design

Ok so now the project is finally over. Finito. Finished. Done! What a relief that is. This project has caused me more stress than any other project in anything I have ever done has.

Working in a group near to the end of this project when we were trying to prepare our presentation was a nightmare to be honest. As I had already finished my personal portfolio and completed my section of the slides for the presentation, I was just waiting around for other people in my group to get there work together so we could finish off the presentation and actually have a chance to practise it.

I am a very prepared person and I always finish my work before the deadline, so that I’m not running around at the last minute, because you end up forgetting things and you don’t get as much done, and it’s just not good. So that’s what happened yesterday, waiting for my group on the last day to put the presentation together. I even ended up having to do other parts of the presentation myself, which i didn’t really have much choice otherwise we would have never got it finished.

I felt really unprepared for the presentation, and I felt like we needed a lot more time to practise and to go through it. But I think that it was the same for all of the groups, that no one really had enough time to get together what they wanted.

Altogether though I think that the presentation was a success, and we had good feedback from our peers and tutors, so I was happy.

I feel that this project wasn’t really timed very well, and we didn’t have enough time to get everything how I would want it. It felt very rushed and like there was always something else to do, and I think it was just a bit too much. I know that second year is a step up from last year, but I think this is too overboard.
