Explanation of the creative process
Creative process that was undertaken by our group had been based upon
negotiation. At first all of our group members met in the class and discussed over
various available themes and finally the theme that most people agreed upon was
chosen. In the next step, the volunteers for the four critical roles were chosen. These
are architect, narrative, themes and art design. Again, for each of these roles a
backing up collaborator was selected. Our group members promptly stared posting
important components of the given assignment, the slides, hand-outs, brief outline of
the intersecting narratives and shared the same materials over Google Drive.
According to Bilgin, Karakuyu and Ay (2015), effective communication helps to
highlight any hidden issues in any project. Many times group members raised issues
or commented about the materials posted by the members who started to post the
original document and/or material. Alongside following this formal process, we also
met as a group working on a common project for two times, to update the progress
on the project work.
Personal Contribution
I suppose the most significant contribution that I made in launching the project

entire project team has met, mine as well other team members’ active interest was to
ensure our 100% dedication towards the work. I presumed that I should not take up
the role of being the jury foreman. My demographics and personal attribute did not
assure me to take up the role. As per Jin, Y. and Hong, L., (2016), a participant
should be aware of personal weightage. Besides that, on previous occasions, my
work has been to create an interpretation prevalent in the narrative in all the slides
that my fellow group members has selected for the project presentation. A subtle and
delicate artistic interpretation of all the slides prepared by us was required by our
group. All of us were aware of the fact that it was not necessary to artistically design
every slide before knowing which ones were going to make it to the final
presentation. I also delivered the role of keeping the communication regarding the
latest progress on the project work, intact among the group members by means of
sending group emails. However, I was also personally responsible for the
presentation of the narrative of the group presentation, as it is expressed in the art
