REFLECTION
1 . Describe how reflection has helped improve your own designs
Because you can become to focused and only follow the one path. By doing this you may miss out on something great that could be in another direction. By reflecting you can have a look at what has been done so far and then look at all the possible direction that it could lead into. This way you will come up with something that you may have thought about if you had of just stayed on the same path as the original idea.
2. Describe how you have reflected on your group’s designs
We reflected on the process of how we created it. The things that we could have done better and the things that were helpful and that we could use in the future. We also reflected on the end design. We look at the design and questioned if it had met all the requirements. Did it represent the look that we were looking for. Then we looked to see if we needed to fix up anything. Finally the overall project was reflected on and how we got to the end product.
3. When is reflection useless?
If you have to many distractions. You can not focus on what you have at hand because it will get mixed up with all the other things that are going on. It is useless if you you do it during the process of creating something. Because you have not finished it yet and there is not really anything worth reflecting on. Also before you have started it is impossible to reflect on something that does not exist yet.
