Build a Play Structure
As Part A of the assignment is a group project, we are required to collaborate with other members to finish the work. To expedite the process, we decided to stay at school until midnight, working diligently on the structure. We aimed to complete the construction as quickly as possible, allowing us to move on to the drawing phase sooner.
The pressure to finish promptly was further intensified by the upcoming independent learning week, during which the group would disperse temporarily. Since we couldn't pass the model to each member due to everyone returning to their respective hometowns, we were motivated to complete the project at a faster pace. Finally, we success to finish our model. ><
Drawing Detail
Without hesitation, I began working on my floor plan, elevation, and section drawings. Collaboratively, we supported one another in this task to ensure consistency in our drawings and measurements, showcasing the strength of our teamwork. I am genuinely grateful for the examples provided by the lecturer, as they helped clarify the assignment and guided us on drawing symbols, particularly in the floor plan.
Slide Compilation
We together brainstorm the design for the tattoo stamp.
The workload was evenly distributed, with each person responsible for one page of the slide. Through discussions, we agreed upon a consistent color scheme for our slide, resulting in a cohesive and unified look for the entire slide.
OUTCOME
My sleep-deprived appearance reveals the effort I put into completing the assignment, burning the midnight oil to get it done. I acknowledge that my time management suffered during the independent learning week when I was at home, as there were many distractions. Despite this, I tried my best to finish the task promptly. The assignment required precise dimensions and measurements, so I devoted considerable effort to the drawings. Thankfully, I managed to complete it a few days before the submission deadline. ；）
