Yes, I am talking about the group work - we had 3 weeks of group work, Illustration, Graphics and 3D Design intermixed - and therefore, 3 different projects to accomplish.
Our predictions and visions about Society, Food and Solutions for the Catastrophe occurring in the year 2060 took a week each (I mean, a week starting on Monday and ending up on Friday - that is 5 days, bear that in mind while feasting your eyes with some of the crap we did) and each of them ended up with some kind of a crazy, rapidly put-up event.
First one - Society in 2060 - was a disaster, simply speaking, however Emma was proud of us.
First of all, if you are supposed to meet your group on Thursday, a day before delivering the final piece for the event and only one person turns up - it is pretty impossible to achieve something spectacular, alright?
But I had an idea, I shared it with Emma, and she liked it.
SO - shortly speaking - I am a very negative person but a narcissist as well, so I believe that by 2060 we all be self-absorbed, lost in building our social media image, self-centred, self-focused, with very narrow horizons.
Therefore, as I am a walking cliché, I though about mirrors - an undeniable gadget of every stereotypical narcissist. So I designed (and build) a head-piece, in which you can only see yourself - from very close, and it covers everything in front of you - so, to move around, you have to walk backwards. It is a metaphor - if you're self-absorbed, you don't develop, thus not achieving anything.
Let me show you, how it went.
Whining part - they are so badly made, for God's sake! Lack of my group's interest led to my lack of interest too - so I knew that I have to glue mirrors together in a way which is not allowing to see anything else that your skin's bad condition, but the way it was put together was rushed and ugly and I AM ASHAMED. If Emma wasn't a good leader in all of this ridiculousness we were creating, I would give up and go home.
And it was raining on that day.
And then while I was gluing the cardboard in really bad manner, the rest of magically appearing group on Friday came up with an idea for a game in which you have to find someone's else token while wearing this torture device - that means, you had to go backwards like a drunk person, shout to other people, trip and stumble, and your head hurt after.
But it was funnier than I thought and anyone who was brave enough to wear that potentially lethal piece of crap (some of the mirrors were broke in a half) had fun as well - or they politely lied, but at this point I am not able to say.
Learning outcomes - either step out and do everything for everyone but be happy about your work or threaten your colleagues to come to the group meeting, so you can all work together and be happy about your work.
But most importantly - don't give up and don't let yourself get to the point in which you think you are better than the rest of the group - but too proud to do your shit. I am ashamed of being easily put off and negative - I think it didn't only affect me, but the whole group as well.
