I think the hardest part of this project was trying to come up with a board design for our quote, I think that did take a while to come up with. Another I thought to challenge for myself was breaking the panels/removing them since I had trouble trying to remove them. The easy part was really just sanding the panels down.
As a student I like what we've done, I like the mix on the wooden panels which even though they're all mixed colour I think they look cool and along with the lights they look amazing. I would say we made the right chose to stick with one colour lights, They look really nice and even better in the dark. If we were going to get another colour I could have maybe chosen red because I think they would go well with the top line quote 'IT DOESN'T GET EASIER', but I do think It will look great with just the blue lighting.
My job role in the group was mainly the helper, I helped with removing the wooden panels, Even though I wasn't that good at it, I helped sand down the wooden panels, I did a bit of sawing and help with adding the light to the board I was working on and creating a word out of the lights.
Even though it wasn't completed, I thought with the lights added on it looked really nice, the colour lights went really well with the wood background. I think maybe it could have been better if the neon lights were a bit chunkier and not so thin. But at this point, they look great and I can't wait for January when we finish them all and have them up on the wall.
Updated
The quote has now been changed to "Don't stop until you are proud" we all had a vote and that was the one we choose for the wall. We all got given a word in groups or on our own. The work I was given was Don't which to me wasn't a big challenge except for the common which one wasn't added on so it just looks like 'Don t'. Attaching the wire the the light wouldn't have been hard if Nick haven't helped so that was a easy task, next was to cut the extra plastic on the plastic ties. I then drawer out the don't on how it would look all join together then I started to actually create the the word, which was harder to do giving that the light/wire kept moving about. Finally I got the word form and put on the board. I was actually proud of the don't I thought it looked good, how ever others thought it could look better. But at least Angel thought the Don't look good so I'm happy.
I think at the end the quote looks great, so much better then the first time we did it, the colouring is better. The downer is when the room light is on you can't see the quote clearly so in future maybe different lights with a white colour then see through, if possible along with the blue light.
The quote "It doesn't get easier, you just get better" and "Don't stop until you are proud" I think they are both good quotes but I think that the 'Don't stop until you are proud' is better because it we short and easier to create on the board. Plus even though we had the board all sized for the 8 word quote, we were still able to make the quote work on all the boards.
My alternative phrase
'IF YOU DON'T CHALLENGE YOURSELF, YOU WILL NEVER REALISE WHAT YOU CAN BECOME'
Strength
Adding the neon lights - Because we knew what words to do and how we were going to place it that was easy to do.
Weakness
Communication
Deadline _ Not quite getting it done
Research - I don't feel like we did enough research on the style of the board, we decided to do.
Opportunities
£200 - Good amount which helps us get the stuff we need
