Professoinal View

Before the meeting i wanted to make an effort and set a standard with our work so we then have to keep by it mybe allowing us to win who knows? i had all our stuff printed on expensive paper A3 and in color i went on to mounting the logo concepts on a board for a finishing touch at this point i was really confident that they were great.

Preparing for our first meeting

I started looking into garden logos where i gathered some ideas and started with the projects garden logo designing some neat stuff along with seasonal ideas after i had the basic design it was time to start thinking of soem names for the garden centre as thier previous name was taken and registered. We came up with various name and with a team vote we voted for Orchard View but at this point we still didnt do any research on this name none the less we still went ahead with it and i had doen the final draft of the garden logos with that name and various other ones incase they liked those i got help off my teammates for ideas on what to put in the logo and how to have it so it was a real group effort also while i was doing this they were preparing questions for that weeks meeting with Sarah.

Final Draft logos:

Starting The Team Logo

We had all agreed witht he name "DDKK" which was just our intials Dan, Dave, Kay and Kenny. Everyone wanted a shield concept to the logo at first i wasnt to keen but it has grown on me. Why i wasnt to keen was purely because a shield logo kinda reminds me of a schools crest, none the less i created a bunch of logos and process of alimination we came to a conculsion and had our final logo.

Logo style choosen, and the team voted for number 4.

Belbin test analysis.

Purpose Of the Belbin is to define what my roles might be while working with a group, once the test was completed we were to pick the two highest marks mine being 21 for team worker and 13 for resource investgator.


Role Discritions:

Team worker:

"Supporting members in their strengths; eg. Building on suggestions, underpinning members in their shortcomings, improving communications between members and fostering team spirit generally."

Resource Investigator:

I personal would agree of the results that the test provided as i feel that im not a leader yet and much prefer to be leaded by someone else that way i have less pressure on me and i am able to bring my ideas across better and get jobs done.
