REFLECTION
What I loved most about this project was the level of teamwork involved in the entire creative process. I could not have done this job as a solo designer. I learned so much! My number one lesson was learning to ask for help when I needed a hand. There were so many times when I wanted to, and almost waited too long. Fortunately, I also learned that being part of a talented creative team is a challenge that I would gladly repeat.
