This past week, a talk was held by Illustrator Louise Vormitting regarding working in a team. A lot of the lecture reminded me of my time on the identity brief for the New York City bowling project. I am starting to see working in a team will be a vital part when working in the industry and Louise touched on some interesting stuff. The elements of working in a team is not having an ego. This can cause problems in communication and breakdown relationships within the team as others will feel a level of quality is different from themselves. Louise also explained showing each others portfolios with your design friends can be a good thing as your getting an opinion on a regular basis.
Louise explained having a strong working relationship is key in getting positive results. Leaving personal issues away from the work place helps you focus on what needs to be done and separates your work life and your personal life. One of the first things Louise advised when starting a project was to organise the money side before it comes an issue. Being paid is important but spending the right time on a brief in relation to your pay cheque should be fair. I could relate to some of the things Louise was saying as when working on the New York City bowling project, communication, ideas and personal issues was huge factor within the process of our journey to our final work.
Louise represents Container plus who describe themselves as ‘’A multidisciplinary art and design collective specialising in playfully creating multifaceted fantasy worlds across a multitude of 2D and 3D platforms’’. You could see there work to be a long thought process but have great results. I see illustration to involve this quality and I appreciate the wide area of thinking towards the great work they do. I enjoyed the website design for advertising company The Assembly as the features illustrated worked well. Overall, I felt the advice from working in a team was useful and will always be vital to know in the future.
