Buk Evaluation

As this brief was a resubmission brief, I once again got to write my own brief, but I needed to add a lot more to it, more work and more ideas.

Within the first few days I struggled to nail down any convincing ideas that I could use for a resolution, this went on for numerous day, with this being a resubmission and getting done during the summer, I wasn’t able to have crits, but I did ask some of my fellow students to look at my blog and give me feedback and opinions what I can do to improve my resolutions, along with asking them, I was asking my friends from home, who attend university doing Graphic Design, so that was pretty handy to have as a back up.

I was producing a lot of layout work, putting down every idea of thought of down on paper, for the two logo’s I designed, the set of books and symbols, then I was finding it easier cause the ideas where flowing. Then I was doing a lot of trying and testing with pieces, messing with composition of words and images and colours.

Once I had my idea down that I wanted to produce, I planned for the resolutions to be simple, nothing to confusing, with my options being limited, not having the apparatus I would usually have available whilst in the studio’s, but I feel I have done well with what I have got, and happy with how the resolutions have turned out, and the idea of keeping them simple have worked out really well. A lot better with the simplicity.

I feel I managed my time well, I got all the work done early, so that gave me a good amount of time to do anything that needed to be edited, and worked on anything that commented about by students and friends. I kept my work organised, the layouts and the computer programme work.

It was a lot harder not being able to have crits, because they are very helpful in addition to your designs and ideas, I had friends giving me opinions and my fellow student helping over the internet and phone, but of course that is nothing compared to group discussions, was a lot harder, but they where still helpful,

Throughout the past four weeks I feel I have produced a good amount of layout work,

and been keeping up to date with my blog well, I am really happy with how my resolutions turned out, I design four sets of books, giving me the options to choose from, I feel they where all strong ideas, but feel I have made the right choice in the ones I have chose, really happy with how they turned out.
