Group Credit in Portfolio

Los Angeles

Hi everyone, this issue has been asked many times before, but this issue is a little more complicated. 

This past semester we worked on a master plan for our studio. The way our group (3 people in total) approached the master plan was to zone the site into three general programs and each of us design our specified zone. We then tied the three distinct designs through circulation and landscaping (like a typical OMA project, or somewhat, at least). Beyond each of us designing our own zone, as a group, two of the members dark-lined and annotated the drawings for the entire masterplan, while I did all of the renderings and diagrams for the entire masterplan. We each 3d Modelled our own building designs. Now–when it comes to displaying this project in our personal portfolios, what I was going to do was emphasize my own zone, and then show the other two zones in a smaller format (i.e. smaller thumbnails of renderings and 2D Drawings), just for secondary or supplementary information. Essentially, none of us really had any heavy hand on the other's zone, unless it dealt with site circulation, but for building design, it was rather an individual approach. 

Am I being paranoid? Is it okay for the other two group members to show the zone I designed in full/large format even though they barely had any influence on the design of my zone? 

Thank you!

Yes and yes, as long as its mentioned. I have a group project in mine where my partner's name is right there on the title page. As long as credit is given, even with a footnote that will most likely go unread, you are fine. Most likely you will be asked about it in an interview and then you can let them know the dynamics.
