Lines

The emotions lines communicate are that they can shape anything. Lines shape and mold everyday objects such as phones, computers, letters, numbers and more. Lines are abstract and they show many different things from anger to love or even confusion. Lines show the world naturally and artificially, they DO NOT have to be straight but are often portrayed as straight because lines in math are straight. Lines are amazing in many ways and can show many things.

Pictures will be up later, I currently do not have the ability to upload the picture

Self Portrait

I am a person that is only good at numbers, if even that. I am not a good artist or sketcher and I lack creativity, but when I do come up with something usually it is very hard for me to portray my ideas. I can do numbers because they are easy and flow into every day life in one way or another. My strongest area involves numbers because I am not an English person or an artist or any other thing that most people would think off as skillful. The only other thing that I am good at is drawing lines and shapes with lines, my skills as a designer are not the best but hopefully they will improve through the year.

Bridge Project

Brainstorming is important because it helps us come up with ideas to come up with solutions to our given problems. It helps you get good ideas out to come up with the best idea possible that you can think of, later if you're in a group you can compare ideas and have a successful project.

Testing helps you improve a design because a finished project is always have some sort of flaw that makes you consider it as not finished, testing also helps you make sure that it is functional and doesn't fail at the moment of truth.

If I could change my design and make it different it would've been longer by some weaving and more supported columns to support the people blocks.

Some big characteristics of successful teams are that there needs to be teamwork in the group such as communication and non-infighting. Communication allows for feedback on projects or ideas so that people can better ideas to be more functional. Successful teams are made of people that work together under certain situations to achieve a goal with the given resources that primarily revolves around communication.
