e9 Fourth Quarter Project

       For my fourth quarter project, I worked with a group of four people to design and product and make graphics, videos, an animation, and a website for this product. The first thing we had to do was make a company name. We decided on calling it BARM; an acronym of our names (Braden, Addison, Randon, and Mackenzie). Then we created a product and came up with a name for it. We had many ideas, but decided on an app that would monitor grocery store lines and tell someone which lines are the quickest. We decided to call this app Quick Line.

Our company's logo

      As a group, we were very collaborative. In the process of coming up with a product, we all had our own ideas and we picked the best one. We all made sure we agreed on that before we moved on to the next step. Then, we tried to come up with a logo, and everyone had their own designs, but we eventually all agreed on one. We all communicated very well, getting feedback on everything we did from our other group members.

     We struggled the most with being in class. Over half of the time, one of our group members wasn't at school. Only having two or three people work on a four person product was hard. And if we did something while someone in our group was gone, we would have to see if they liked it when we got back, even if we had no extra time to change it. Next time I have a group project, I'll try to make sure everyone's really committed to trying to be in class to do the work for our project.

The video I made

       If I had more time, I would definitely change some things about our project. Like the website, which I would change to be a single page, instead of the current multi-page website that it is now, because the current trends are having just one page for your whole site. And many other things I could've improved, but time is always a restriction when working on anything.

      Even if I could've done better with this product, I think it really helped me improve working with a team. I really got to learn how to work with people, and use their strengths to help our product's design be better.

The animation

      Everything you see above, all the pictures and videos, are things I helped out with. I created the logo and the video myself, and I helped create the web banner, the website, and I created the iPhone in our animation.
