OUGD503 Studio Brief 1 Secret 7 - Evaluation

As I thoroughly enjoyed Secret 7 last year, this was a good opportunity to undertake for one of the smaller briefs. Design for the music industries is something that really appeals to me and something I want to explore for the future. In addition interpreting the song to create a design is very open, therefore there are a lot of possibilities to explore. 

This brief allowed me to explore more concept driven designs as well as psychedelic designs which I really love. I feel I interpreted the song and my research really helped to inform my designs. Psychedelic and distorted effects is a skill I've always wanted to explore and this brief had a lot of scope for this. I also found a new way of working as my designs were made using an app, which was new and refreshing.  I believe this brief has allowed me to learn new skills as well undergoing problem solving in terms of interpreting the song to create a concept, all of which will really help me in my future practice. 

I definitely had a weakness in terms of feedback as I didn't attend one of the critiques for this module, so I could of got useful feedback for my designs which could of really impacted my final designs. However I know now how important critiques are and need to get used to showing my work despite my confidence. Despite, I feel this brief has been a challenge for me and I have gained a lot from this brief, which has expanded my knowledge and will help me grow in the future and learn.
