I remember last semester, Andrea Kinneman and I were the only two design managers for the VCAD lab, therefore we had a lot of different projects with clients that we worked on together as well as internal design projects we had to collaborate on. One project I remember we collaborated on together was the George Anthony Micheal presentation for the HBO showing, Master of Lighting, we hosted. I can recall actually being on a different project at the time, but it was one of those instances where I had to pause my project for a second and help Andrea as well as the rest of the crew because we were nearing the date pretty quick and needed more hands on deck. Andrea had one of the people on the design crew creating a flyer, and she was art directing that as well as the design for the presentation of the slide show that he would be presenting off of. I was asked to help with that, and also I was asked to create a small handout with a QR code on it, so everyone could have access to a specific call of action dealing with George Anthony Morton’s personal objective. One of the limitations I had with the handout was that I was asked to complete if during class. Considering it didn’t need to be big or have a lot of information on it, I was able to create and design it that day during class, and we had them printed and ready to handout bye the next day which was also the day of the show. I think my biggest challenge was that I was asked to create it that day, and it wasn’t necessarily the time crunch that was an obstacle. I really had to set aside my perfectionist tendencies, and I had to understand that I wasnt able to change and tweak it over and over again.
