OUGD504 Studio Brief 4 - Evaluation
This brief for me was definitely the most enjoyable and one where I am happy with the final outcome. This is because I took the opportunity to learn a new skill and enjoyed the process of creating this campaign.
Along with the campaign, I decided to create a website to go with it. Although this is not necessary, I took it upon myself to expand my knowledge and learn the production. I have done something similar in first year, but this time I took it upon myself to build the website (using Adobe Muse) rather than just using an online website builder. This has given me a new set of skills where I have learnt (not even to the full extent) of what it takes to build a website. This has conjured thoughts of whether or not I am suited to web based design as a designer.
While in the design stage, it was really interesting to have specific feedback from professionals and it was clear how much they knew. At points, I did find the design stage tedious as there were a lot of things I did not know how to achieve. However, I overcame these design problems by continuing on and learning myself how to achieve certain features. The whole process has encouraged me to learn more, as the more you know, the more naturally it will come to you which is something that I strive for.
I feel that my time management could improve as once the critique was done, I left this brief for a while and had to come back to it and rethink over everything, For future briefs it is so much better to get things done and out the way and perhaps revisited later with a fresh mind to edit a few things. In addition I have noticed a spelling mistake on one of my final designs, so its clearly evident I need to proof read.
On the whole the production has been really enjoyable and I feel I have taken full opportunity of this brief. It also has made me consider web based design for future aspirations.
