Overall, this was a challenging but highly engaging project that pushed me to think differently about both design and collaboration. Working as a group was initially difficult and brought some ups and downs, but over time we were able to come together, align our ideas, and produce a strong final outcome. The experience highlighted the importance of communication, compromise, and shared decision-making when developing a project as a team. One of the aspects I enjoyed most was designing the brand for our prison support service. I’m particularly proud of what we created, as it takes a more unique and thoughtful approach—focusing not just on practical needs, but on the deeper emotional challenges prisoners face, especially around family relationships and reoffending. This shift in perspective made the project feel more meaningful and impactful. Despite some challenges within the group, we were able to pull everything together in the final weeks and create a presentation that felt both engaging and visually strong. Overall, the project was intense but rewarding, and it has changed how I approach research, design, and teamwork—encouraging me to think more critically, collaborate more openly, and consider the wider impact of the work I produce.
