NGUYEN THI DIEU HIEN GDD17041 INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE REPORT

  INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE REPORT U33 APPLIED PRACTICE COLLABORATIVE PROJECT Nguyen Thi Dieu Hien - GDD17041 Greenwich of university - 30.08.2019     SUMARY - AIMS “Of the 8.3 billion metric tons that has been produced, 6.3 billion metric tons has become plastic waste Of that, only nine percent has been recycled The vast majority—79 percent—is accumulating in landfills or sloughing off in the natural environment as litter Meaning: at some point, much of it ends up in the oceans, the final sink If present trends continue, by 2050, there will be 12 billion metric tons of plastic in landfills That amount is 35,000 times as heavy as the Empire State Building.” - National Geographic Being created as a method to deal with plastic pollutant, Anti-plastic bag project is a simple yet helpful solution to reduce the amount of plastic bag being used As we all know, plastic right now is one of the most trivial matter in the world as it only took nearly 800 years to become the one of the heaviest environmental pollutant ​material This project is aimed at people with daily water needs The fabric cup holder allows you to take away a cup of coffee convenient or people who have a habit of carrying personal water bottles with them Instead of using one plastic bag once, in a few hours and letting them last for hundreds of decades we can use the reusable fabric cup holder Above all, they are made of organic materials and the decomposition time is from months to years Recognizing the need for the use of cloth cup bags, we offer design solutions that create handy bag patterns Below is a detailed description of the project PROJECT - EVALUATION On the first day of receiving the project and the team, we studied the project and divided the work as follows: Name Role Responsibilities Nguyen Vuong Hoang Mai Main Holder Designer In charge of the main cup/bottle holder design and sewing which is what she's good at Supporting Painter Support main Painter Cleaner Clean everything after finishing the Assistant project 2  Nguyen Thi Dieu Hien -

GDD17041 Greenwich of university - 30.08.2019    the process of decomposition between fabric and plastic And the hand as the affirmation "Be Organic" We unify the information on the poster as a reminder and a warning I use the software quite competently so we finished the design before the deadline Section 5: Making a brochure takes longer than expected because ideas are not accepted by our teachers And we decided to develop from the poster to create a unity between the products The elements of the brochure are repetitive from the poster and Mai, a member of the group, has put an idea that illustrates the two graves as a sarcasm to people Section 6: The final part is perfecting the real products and evaluation surveys We give the fabric bags we have made to the people around us and invite them to take a survey using the google form We think the project has somewhat changed the mindsets of people when they agreed to use fabric bags instead of plastic bags In my opinion, the project has been an unexpected success because most people want to use cloth bags Here is the statistics table that I have collected   5    SOLUTION In this project I have a mission to organize and manage the project Because of that, I  kept a record of the problems we encountered during the process to track the progress  of the project During project implementation, a lot of problems occurred, however, we  tried to use personal skills to solve the problem and complete the work before dealine.  Some of the problems we encountered were:  Disagreement in design, I think this is a big problem and often happens when working in  groups We chose to review the theory, analyze, evaluate, vote and get help from the  teacher to solve the problem.  We had problems buying materials to make bags The fabrics we found in the city didn't  fit, and the necessities weren't enough, we had to order a sewing machine for making  bags.  The division of working in group means that each member has different tasks, but the  computers and software used not match the versions, which makes it very difficult  to combine with other member In addition, everyone has a different design style, this  does not make up the unity One solution we applied is that all design files of all  members are transferred to me to evaluate and synchronize design elements.  6  Nguyen Thi Dieu Hien - GDD17041 Greenwich of university - 30.08.2019    We also have weather issues on the move, which greatly affects the duration of the  project.  We had trouble finding the right place to paint on our bags, we had to meet with the  principal of university and the building management to get permission to use the  common space for practice.  Another problem is that the prints, we have experience from the previous project, we  went directly to the printer to get the perfect prints.    LESSON An effective way to work in groups is to listen, share and harmonize the opinions  of all members.  How to properly divide the work, suitable for each skill of the team members  Arrange a reasonable time, always monitor progress and follow the practice of all  members  Arrange individual and group tasks appropriately  Plan and make contingency plans for every worst case scenario  Soft skills such as communication, negotiation and persuasion are all highly  appreciated  Connect with team members anytime, anywhere via online applications or video  calls  There is an online memory for all members to access and save data anytime and  anywhere        7      SELF -
