For around 2 days me and 4 other people worked on a project for e9. We had to come together and collaborate to make ourselves a group flag. First thing we had to do as a group was choose colors. That was pretty easy because everyone either voted for orange, blue, and white. We all got a sheet handed out to us showing us the colors meaning. The most voted color out of are group was blue which stands for tranquility and calmness. The other voted colors where orange and white, orange represented joy, creativity, enthusiasm, and sometimes revolutainry ideas. While white stands for peace and innocence. After trying out several different designs for our flag we decided to go with something more basic while making also meaningful to each and every one of us. The flag itself took a while to draw on the huge block of sidewalk but it was a relief to see it all complete.
For the colors and symbols our group just had us vote on the color and we each got to choose n object to put as our own symbol. For the entire flag we had a group symbol that was the sun. That was just something we all agreed on and it was that easy. For the individual symbols they were each something we valued. For me I picked a baseball because I have been playing it all my life. Other symbols my group picked were things like the mountains, a butterfly, and a camera.
All in all in was a good experience and a good test to see how well we could collaborate with people we might not have known. If we were to do this again I would wish that we all collaborated a little bit more but it was all good in the end.
