Week 1: whats there to say? I already made my way through one semester, whats gonna stop me now. Funny enough our PBL group was identical to last years, of course next week Dexter would switch groups cause honestly we work horribly together. Kevin and Dexter constantly argued. It was goofy, um for the collage I actually think we worked better then last year but the bar wasn't set very high. 

 This Collage was a lot of fun to make, all we did was cut images and glue them onto a posterboard. I also realized that my idea of a collage is quite different then other then other groups'. I was in charge of all the design and such, and well you can see how messy I made it. I like it visually noisy - it's personal preference. 

So this is gonna be a doozy to write but, hey time for Week 2. So during this time we had two projects, one was research and the other was designing this bill, Me and Nathan researched and Kevin would redesign the bill. Long story short I ended up ditching my research to help Kevin very last second. This was a very good lesson in, "do your work early so you can help your teamate who didn't." But looking at the first design, I see why the teachers were so disapointed. It was a Korean niche influencer on a Taiwanese bill, nothing more to say. Still, at the end of the day I liked it. 

Now lets get to the final design. Here we have Qu Quanli. He was director behind the documentary, "Taiwan Superman." It's a film about the resilience of individuals who have a wide range of disabilities. And it's just a really good film, even if I missed half of it cause I couldn't see the subtitles. I don't know if Qu Quanli deserves a bill, but I think the concepts and ideology he has does deserves one. 

Week 3, it was a week. so Nathan, Kevin, and I had very different ideas on what a mood board was. Nathan chose color, he heard purple and rolled with it. Kevin was information based which like graphs or more logical images. Then I used it as an excuse to read comics, so as you can see the panels on the mood board are from hawkeye. Our topic was the housing market for those with disabilities, Hawkeye is disabled and he is in the housing market, easy peasy. This mood board is the second one, the first had a few to many unrelated images. Which I'm shocked that was the only complaint. 

Week 4: The first pitch, oh no. So this went swimmingly, um I don't know what to say about this. As mentioned in Week 3 our original topic was the housing market for those who were disabled. This led to us having a very broad range for our topic. We were told that we had too many ideas so later we would hone it down. I was in charge of tangible design and mood board. Also around this time I begun learning braille so yay for me. 

Week 5: The second pitch, that went much better. So heres our topic, mobility aids among the visually impaired. Later on we would switch it to pathway safety for the visually impaired but mobility aids make up a larger part of that. I was in charge of the same sections as the first pitch, I also did the most poorly (to many ideas strike again). Also I move quite a bit during presentations, but I think this feedback became kinda void because I stopped moving after the first 3 three slides . But kids would write the first thing they see on the peer feedback so they don't have to worry about that later (I did that). Still my constant movement is a problem that I am getting better at managing.
