AEP Project - Poster Design

(CA1 entry: A difficulty you faced)

Projects have been piling up the past few days, the most urgent and time consuming one being the AEP poster design project and essay. My group, consisting of Li Keen, Hanmo and Marcus, stayed back today to do it in the Media Lab. My group was in a state of panic, trying to combat the time restriction and trying to arrange a date where we can all meet up. So we eventually rushed everything today.

As I had to go to the mosque today for my Friday Prayers, I could only meet up at 2pm. My whole group was there, with the exception of Marcus who had NCC Land training today. Kang Sheng and Tze Yang were also present to do their posters. Thinking that I could start straight away, I dived right into my seat, only to find out that there were many problems with the Mac computers. For one, the Safari internet browser was not loading the webpages properly and there were some errors with Photoshop CS2, the program we were to use to create the posters. My group was halted by all the problems. We started trying to 'troubleshoot' all the possible errors. Finally, after half an hour of clicking through program pages, the internet finally worked... for a while, but long enough for me to get my necessary pictures for the poster design. Photoshop finally worked, with the occasional harmless error messages. My group then started piecing together our posters.


An almost finished poster which I composed (spelling error in poster, woops), one of four in our groups series.

We managed to complete two posters, with one still being edited. The last one would be done on another day.
