Task 3 - Working within constraints

The first problem I had when starting work on my graphics was that I was working on a small canvas which I'm not used to and I couldn't get in all the detail I'm used to, I also had a lot of fiddly details to work on such as the stripes of the Red Lionfish and the pattern of the Loggerhead Turtle's shell. We also had a problem identifying the type of rays in the tank but Paige found that out for me and I managed to get the file done in time although due to the complicated way the Ray moves we scrapped it. Another problem was the lack of communication between team members not between me and Paige but between Billy and the rest of the team as he never told us how far he was in the flash file and frequently left the file at home and avoided saying how much work he had done. Unfortunately although I finished all by graphics a week before deadline and had handed the files and Paige's research to Billy the final product was very underwhelming and had none of the actions Billy promised to code, which was very disappointing, we didn't even get to see it before the day we presented it to the aquarium.
