choosing the name for the team

Choosing the name of the team was probably the hardest and most time-consuming part of our branding. We started a long brainstorming session, writing down every name that came to mind on sticky notes and putting them on the wall. Once we had a bunch, we began voting on the ones we liked until we were left with just a few. After that, even more names came to mind, so we repeated the process again. At one point, we realized we were spending way too much time on this, so we just kept voting until there was only one name left, this is how “Twist Twist Twist” was born 😊)) Looking back, this process showed us how tricky it can be to make decisions as a group. It also taught us the importance of working together, being patient, and knowing when it’s time to stop overthinking and just decide so we can move forward.

• Short Summary • Team filled in a design-style questionnaire • Compared results and found shared aesthetic goals • Quickly aligned on a bold, chaotic, colorful style ________________________________________ Introduction Before starting the actual design, we wanted to understand what visual direction fit us as a team. Process We completed a shared sheet with questions meant to help us understand each other’s preferences. One important question was: “What design style are you most drawn to?” Most answers were similar: bold, chaotic, colorful, loud. We wrote these down and discussed them until it became clear that our tastes matched naturally, giving us a unified direction. Reflection This moment made later design decisions much easier. I learned how valuable it is to align as a team early in the process so the project has a strong, shared foundation.

3. How will the website look like? • Short Summary • Everyone created their own website concept • Team voted and selected one design • Added my surreal collage ideas into the final site • Designed and animated the Services page ________________________________________ Introduction With moodboards and color choices finished, it was time to imagine how the website itself should look. Process Each of us created our own website page designs based on our shared style. I focused on a surreal collage theme, because I thought it would be fun to animate and visually stronger. The next day, we voted on the designs like we did with the moodboards. The team chose one groupmate’s design, but they really liked elements of mine, so I was able to integrate my collage style into it. We also realized we needed a Services page, which became my responsibility. I added animations and collage details to match both my ideas and the team vision. Reflection This showed me how team collaboration can strengthen creative work. Even if my full design wasn’t chosen, my ideas still shaped the final result. It taught me how to adapt creatively while still keeping my personal style in the project

4. Posters? Logos? • Short Summary • Created collage-style poster sketches • Improved them based on team feedback • Received teacher feedback and refined the design • Explored icons, fonts, and colors for logo concepts • Created a low-fidelity logo idea ________________________________________ Introduction Beyond the website, I wanted to help with posters and experiment with logo ideas to expand our branding. Process I began by sketching poster concepts inspired by surreal collage art. I shared them with my group, who liked the “weirdness” and the bold elements. Based on their input, I created more variations and combined them into one final poster. Validation I brought the poster to a teacher to get extra professional feedback. They suggested adjustments, which I implemented to improve the final design. Process (continued) For the logos, even though logo design isn’t my favorite, I searched for suitable icons, fonts, and colors. I also created a low-fidelity draft to contribute ideas to the team. Reflection This helped me build confidence and experiment more creatively. Using both peer and teacher feedback improved my work and showed me how iteration strengthens a final product. Even tasks I don’t naturally gravitate toward can help me grow as a designer.

5. Coding the website • Short Summary • Assigned the Services page • Coded according to the agreed design • Adapted layout when team made final styling changes • Learned to stay flexible during development ________________________________________ Introduction Once the design phase was complete, we began coding the website, dividing pages among the development team. Process I was responsible for developing the Services page—the page I had also designed. First, I coded it exactly according to the shared design. Later, when the team adjusted the visual style for more consistency, I adapted my code to match these changes. Because I was sick near the end, my page was modified slightly by the team to stay consistent with the final layout. Reflection This taught me how crucial flexibility is during development. I applied my design ideas in code, but I also learned to accept and adapt to changes that improve the final website. It showed me how design and development constantly influence each other in real projects.
