Overall, this has been a really successful project. I don't think there has been any point that anything has gone massively wrong, and the space in between major key points of delivery allowed us plenty of time to develop our work - which means that the end point has come out really professionally.
I think one aspect i've definitely enjoyed is not having sole control over the entire project. This was reflected in the Thought Bubble work too, but I definitely think having a set boundary to work in, set by someone else, working with other people to bounce ideas off really works for me - mostly because I don't get lost in stupid details or get confused or distressed about organising things. That isn't to say that I need to shy away from big self-driven projects; on the contrary, I think I probably need to take more of them on to build up my skills - but I definitely prefer it when i'm not the sole person responsible.
Another positive challenge from the brief was learning to discuss and present illustration-based ideas with someone who wasn't from a creative background. Kerry and the other engineering staff had little understanding about how illustration briefs worked, so it was our job to facilitate this and still meet their requirements. In spite of this though, things still went really smoothly - and the experience of doing this has set me up well for working with future clients.
