Week Nine

Group Presentation on Conflict

Katoomba Aerial Ropeway

Paul Chew, Shaun Taylor, Eugelyn Corre, Jesharelah Yolola, Roschelle Gonzales, Reina Bautista.

A great presentation and i found was very informative with a hit humor in video. This explain showed me the basic type of conflict you may have with you peers. I did feel the presentation was over filled with information and could not keep up with the written information.

  

Black Motorcycles: The Last Supremist Sculpture

Benjamin Kalgovas, Daming Yan, Molly

Overall i think it was great effort at times it was hard to concentrate on the information and the presentation lacked little energy but they also made a very great video that was engaging. English being a second language i thought they did great.

 

 

Learned From Presentations

Things i i have taken from these presentation is there are different types of conflict like leadership, personality clashes, background, gender, different goals and expectations. In each conflict effect the group proceeding by not focusing on the initial goal of the group and can side track people on what is the goal. To resolving a conflict it is very important to respect, communicate and try to understand from there point of view. It is important to find common ground and find the waring parties in the middle.

For my and Alyssa we did not have conflict at all we are both very calm people that will respect each others point of view and ideas, the only thing i can image about conflict is finding a meeting place for our group meetings and a time but we easily resolved with communication and understanding.   

Progress

After discussing with Russell and Alyssa we have changed our work load. We have decided i will concentrate on the 3d modeling and the front section of the illustrator file shown below also i will organize create and edit the wiki.

The white part i will be working on and not the yellow

I have also decided to use Archicad to get a cleaner outlying result around the major shapes for my part of the bike.

Week Eight

Group Presentation on Intellectual Property

This week Alyssa and i will be presenting for our given topic intellectual property IP after much research we have come up with a visual presentation explaining the importance of it and in what way IP relates to our chosen project and here are some of things i have learned.

Intellectual property is just bullshit but is important if your a multiple million dollar company but if your not don't waste your time and money on protecting anything.We all know wipo or ipaustralia is not going enforce sanctions on China or Russia cause a company there stole my design for a new tooth brush.  A good movie to prove my point is Flash of Genius.

If you would like to protect your work there are two organization one being World Intellectual Property Organization which is world wide and the other Intellectual Property Australia.

Great flow in presentation i thought it was over presented and a heavy load of information, i did find it interesting on the procedure on how to protect you intellectual property in Australia. 

Group Meetings

At this point we have changed and what our responsibility are i will be taking the front part of the bike for the illustrator file the bulk of intellectual property presentation, the wiki, and also the 3d model. This differs as before i was only going do the 3d model with the back being UV unwrapped as Alyssa has claimed that she is good with illustrator.

Week Seven - End of Milestone One

  Illustrator

123D Catch

Try a number ways to get the best results and having a few failed attempts. i have chosen the first one that make me okay results i will try again with few variety picture to see if i can improve on the model.

 

 

Week Six

Group Presentation on Communication

This week chosen groups have presented on planning and explained the importance of it, here is some of the things i have learned.

Communication and leadership go hand in hand.

Successful project management communication is about being there for everyone, being in touch with the real challenges of the project, understanding the real issues within the team who must deliver the project.

Being present, visible and engaged with everyone during the good times and the challenging times.

You could consider communication methods to be either active or passive.

Listing and not speaking over people is very important for clear communication.

Communication visually is very important with charts, graphs, pictures, images etc.

Get to the point, Repeating your self a few times does not hurt and to be assertive when needed.

ACTIVE

• Face to Face meetings
• Video conference, meeting - one on one, or group
• Telephone conference, or voice only web conference
• Telephone
• Stand Up presentations in person

PASSIVE

• Pod cast
• Web cast
• Email
• Intranet bulletin boards
• Blogs
• Website
• Table top presentation

The Creation of Gothic Architecture

Anthony Constantinidis, Lorrain Xiao, Lauren Seif, Bassel Wannous, Xiaodong Fan, Benjamin Hur

The presentation lacked volume is was hard to hear overall and the slides have moved quite quickly and did not correspond with the speech. The movie was very interesting relating to there project and the way they have communicated so far with this ongoing project.

Black Motorcycles: The Last Suprematist Sculpture

Marina Hanna, Andrew Thantrong

I personally like the cartoon video and found it very informative and relative. Over all a great presentation that was clear to understand and was not over informative.

Bus Stop of the Future

Martha Melia Masli, Anthony Chami, Kerre Skarparis, Darren Joshua Weinman, Daniel Sean Olivera

A nice clean presentation and well planned, i thought the video was a little boring but the level of presentation was high so it did not bother me.

123D Catch

On my second attempted i got a much better result but i see at the back the Texture has concrete instead of metal and looks a little deformed.

Another try with better results 

Week Five

 Group Presentation on Planning

Planning is a procedural step in project management, where required documentation is created to ensure successful project completion.

The project plan clearly defines how the project is executed, monitored, controlled and closed.

I have found that different project would have different importance of phases to execute correctly the life cycle of a project.

Three 3 planning procedures tactical, strategic and operational.

Project planning requires an in-depth analysis and structuring of the following activities:

• Setting project goals
• Identifying project deliverables
• Creating project schedules
• Creating supporting plans

All of this information is integrated into Gantt charts, or other types of scheduling charts, to provide a project overview for all involved parties.

For all team members to know what their duties are and frequent updates on the completion allocated tasks with weekly meeting.

After  speaking with Alyssa we decided since she is good at illustrator to do the whole bike in illustrator with minor contribution from me and i will do the uv unwrapping adding new texture to the back of the bike and complete the 3d model. On top do the wiki and the presentation report.

Great presentation with animated and visual PowerPoint presentation, and very well organized with a big group. They have broken up the project quite clearly and showing on the timeline chart to meet the final dead line. Very informative presentation.


Bus Stop of The Future

 George Alagah, Violet Gan, Jason Lo, Michael Naumovski, Tony Tang 

Over all a basic presentation  with not much origination but they did explain how planning has effected there project with the contents of budged time, and man power. i found it interesting on how the 2 different project have a different planning procedures.

Illustrator

This week i have started on the illustrator file, watching some tutorials on getting the best possible result for the realistic part.
