That doesn’t mean that there was no activity. Nothing could be further from the truth. February has been a real busy month, as it was the final sprint.

Comics are a bit different since they are (at least in my opinion) the perfect hybrid between written stories and animated film.

Though suggestions from the team like this or i.e. paintball appeared, I took my job as a production assistant for Shift! to organise an active, funny, not too expansive and team building excursion very serious.

I always took an huge interest in interaction design. I`m fascinated by the new layer it adds to the challenge of creating a unique design.
