Display Board Plans

We started off this week in ISM by doing some team bonding exercises. The first was a drawing game, in which we took turns writing the name of a movie and drawing a picture for the name of another person's movie, and so on, and at the end we saw how close or far off we were from the original name. I was really shocked by just how difficult it can be to understand what another person is trying to convey through an image, which tied back nicely to the display boards we are currently planning out. Even though I know exactly what my pictures represent and why I chose to organize aspects of the board the way I did, others may not see things the same way. As a result, I have to make sure that the ideas in my display board are easily discernible and don't convey multiple meanings. The second team exercise was solving a riddle, which involved critical thinking and communication skills so I actually enjoyed it a lot more than the first. Because we had several assessments due on Friday, I spent the majority of this week writing my Research and Interview Assessments, and also planning out my display board. I struggled the most with just coming up with a basic layout and design for the display board, since I'm not very artsy but still want the board to be perfect. I have a general idea of what all I want to include on the board itself, but choosing colors, fonts, and images has been harder than I thought it would be. This next week, I want to write another Research Assessment, finalize my display board plan, and schedule my last few interviews with professionals so I can start thinking about choosing a mentor!
