Although progress has been going okay so far and communication hasn't been a significant problem, this collaborative project has presented a few different challenges that I think just come with the territory of working with other people.
Having previously discussed our roles in the group with each other, we wanted to make them a bit clearer for ourselves. This is obviously important because you need to understand what you're doing, but also means you have to let other things go and trust that another member of the group can do them.
The task I had was to create the drawings/linework for all of the outcomes, but does that mean I have no input into the final design/layout? Roles are confusing when it comes to group work as they can change and become blurred.
We have been working together well, and are managing to create the work that is required, but I'm aware that the final outcome is very different from the work that I usually create within my own practice, and coming to terms with this has been strange for me.
Obviously the YCN and D&AD briefs are targeted for more commercial purposes, so that is another area in which I feel I have had to relinquish control in order to meet the expectations of a brief/client/brand.
