Making the concept card was not that difficult for me. I have gone to a High Tech school for 3 years already, so, I've been using Illustrator and Photoshop for those 3 years. I'm good at the design part but for me the wording and what I needed to say was difficult. I didn't fully understand what I needed to put on my card. The information and what information exactly. I didn't understand part off my topic. Specifically what gear ratio was and how to find the ratio of two gears. So I made a first draft. It made sense but it wasn't all correct. My partner understood it so I asked him for help. He helped but I didn't quite understand yet. After a while of researching the topics and asking for help the end product looked great. In the end I was fully able to explain gear ratios to people so that they would be able to understand it. While doing this I used the critique and drafting process to my advantage. I also learned that it can really help your work. I would say that I got my concept card critiqued 4-5 times. If you would look at it from first to final draft you wouldn't see much of a difference in the design but the content was changed a lot. The people that critiqued my concept helped out a lot. Also me not knowing what my topic was and excepting that and knowing I needed to ask for help understanding it was a huge part in the success of my concept card. That is part of the mistake learn grow concept. I made the mistakes, I acknowledged them, I wanted to learn how to fix mistakes, and by learning about the concepts I grew by the amount of knowledge that I was gaining.
