seeing to we got to write the brief our selves,
started by collecting a few existing briefs from the past, YCN and studio briefs etc,
Helped us get an idea of what we could do for our own brief.
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,
An going into the first crit I didn't have the greatest amount of work to show,
but that crit helped me alot and shaped my ideas alot more than when I first went into the brief.
From here I knew I wanted to do a poster campaign and a rebrand of the companies logo.
I was producing alot of layout work,
putting down every idea of thought of down on paper, then I was finding it easier cause the ideas where flowing.
Then I was doing alot of trying and testing with pieces, messing with composition of words and images.
Was staying in the studio till late hours trying to get everything done.
Once I had my idea down that I wanted to produce it was just simply the case of taking the photographs I needed.
I took over 100 photographs,
50+ for each idea, then selected a few that I feel I could work well with.
Unfortually cause it took me so long to nail down the design I felt comfortable with these photographs where taken in the last week.
So I didn't get aslong with the resolutions as I could have liked,
that is down to poor organisation on my own behalf.
Apart from the poor organisation of getting the photographs taken,
I feel my time management was alot better than it has been for most of the briefs I have done over the past two years.
Was well organised also, was making sure I had work for crits, so I could get as much help as possible for my fellow students.
The organisation and the time management of my resolutions was the biggest down fall,
but I am still pleased with what I have came out of this brief with.
But, if I was to change anything at all over the past 4 weeks of this brief it would simply be organising the photo shoot alot quicker,
and getting them done with two weeks in advance, to give me two weeks to edit the picture,
or may be even re-do them, if that would have been the case.
Crits, we had 4 over all,
and without them I don't think my resolutions would have been as good as they are.
Throughout this brief I have realised how important crits are,
and how much they help,
getting alot of good feed back, going in different directions, different designs,
all due to help from people around you in the same situation.
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,
Could my resolutions have been better?
Yes, but that is down to my lack of organisation, something I can learn from,
"Make Mistakes To Learn From Them"
Although they could've been better, I am still really pleased with how they have came out,
and are a good addition to my portfolio.
