Directions in Graphic Communication - Evaluation
When I first got the Rain brief, I was really excited with all the things I could do and all of the different medias that I could experiment with. I think that I did act upon some of that excitement and produced some great monoprints and the ink experiments went well too but I definitely think partly way through I lost my idea and just got a bit distracted. This was partly due to the 3 week holiday but also because I didn’t have any ideas that I thought I could push very far. So in a way I did find it quite difficult.
I think my final poster design works well and does portray the right message but maybe I could have had a deeper message or a different idea. I enjoyed doing it once I had my idea. I could have definitely produced something better with different time scales but as we only had 3 weeks I think my poster was successful.
Then I got the branding the show brief and I was so worried about getting everything done within the 2 weeks. It meant working fast and churning out loads of ideas in a small amount of time. But I think I have handled that really well and I am so happy with how my final designs turned out. I think I could have pushed the experiments further and maybe tried some other ideas but because I had so little time I felt like concentrating all of my focus on the idea I felt worked.
Overall I am happy with the outcome of this brief as a whole and it has shown me that even under such time restraints I can complete all of my work to a standard I am happy with and this will definitely boost my confidence for assignments next year!
