Exercise 3: Brochure Folding

Lectures :

Lecture 1
We started the class with finalizing project 1 draft and in like the last 2 hours we're separated into 3 groups. I'm in the same group with Beatrix, Vicky and also Yauyi. We're told to come out with as many as we can, a brochure  folded that contain 8pages. I't okay to have the usual mainstream as long as it works rather than having an unusual one but not working as 8pages.

Feedback
It's good that our group come out with a lot of foldings but we need to consider more on either the folding works with 8pages or not.

Reflection
Experience

The exercise was fun we're in the random group when doing things and surprisingly we're okay with each other and even having fun with the group members. 

Observation

The exercise is good for me to start a random group and try to make the group works and we also explore a lot of folding type, helping each other and trying to make things work even when we know it actually doesn't work.

Findings

I realize that I should have more experience on different group and try to work with others more and not thinking of something unusual only to make it outstanding when it actually doesn't.
