Answer the following questions in order to assess yourself and the effectiveness of your group and members and determine the problem-solving strategies that worked within your group dynamic.
1. How do you feel about the title you were given and how well you did your job in this project? Give specific examples of your experience.
I feel being section editor was a really interesting job to have in this assignment and I felt like I was in the middle of all the action happening in the production of our magazine. Obviously individually we did our three articles, and then we did our final spread together. After these articles were finished it was my job to be able to get them into the right orders, design how it would be laid out (back to back pages, full spreads) and be able to manage all the articles and spreads together. I feel I did my job very well, and it showed in our final product. I was also in charge of getting different ads and placing them selectively in our magazines.
Next time, I would not procrastine and I would make sure that before going to print I made sure 100% that I had everything laid out and ready to go. Leaving even the simple things such as printing to the last minute could've potenially ruined our final product and getting it on time. Luckily we were lucky this time in getting everything organized and printed but having it done a few days earlier would have left us with some room to relax and have time to change our magazine if we came up with more ideas.
Next time, I would not try and make the whole project individual. In the beginning, I kept the thought to myself that it would be more of an individual project. Although we did get everything together very nicely, it would've been helpful to meet up once and put the final project together rather then having everyone send things to eachother. The work itself was seperated very well for each team member however, just in the final stages of the project it would have been a good idea for a final meeting.

As a section editor, I got all the articles sent to me in order to do alterations and change words up a little. I was also in charge of coming up with ideas of how the pages would be set up throughout the magazine, and I was in charge of giving ads to put throughout the magazine that would suite our topics. Each article had it's our spread and layout and we had to figure out how to perfectly combine all the articles and have the final spread.
Next time, I would work harder to make keep track of what my teammates were doing. Although it may not be my task, it would be nice to know of how teammates were doing and what stage they were at exactly so I could know myself where and how I could help.

Next time, I would not hestitate to say any ideas or suggestions I have for my teammates. Even though everyone knew what they were doing, it still may be important to know opinions.

Each of us decided from the very start of what our roles would be and I feel as a group we worked really well together and stuck to our roles. Katrina did a wonderful job of putting together all the articles and constructing

How successful is your project? Give specific examples for your reasons.
Excellent
I felt the end product of our magazine was very successul. All of our group members used their strengths in the making of it and it really showed in our magazine. An example is Nathalie's talent with photoshop - it really helps in the making of the magazine to look professional but also unique. It helped that we all worked together in order to decide we should have page numbers, table of contents- and all our creativity was put into the magazine. We also worked really well in deciding how to make the final product excellent - by having it printed and binded nicely. All of us did our own work but I felt we also stepped it up by putting some of our own ideas in the magazine and making it realistic with ads and everything.
