This week I have decided on a brief, and started on my initial primary and secondary research. Im working a lot quicker than I did in the previous brief, as I think I do actually work quicker on my own, however, I also work better when I'm bouncing ideas off others and have others to give me feedback, so I need to keep asking people to look at my work and see if my concept makes sense throughout this brief. I've realised how short it is, and how much I want to do in such a short space of time, so its really important to stay organised, so I've booked ahead my print slots and tried to be realistic in the products I want to create. Working more realistically to deadlines is something I've been considering since the image module, and I want this to be reflected in part two of OUGD203. I want to make good progress, so after my concept crit next week, I want to get started on some design ideas.
Week Twelve [Monday 30/04/12]
My idea seemed to go down well in the concept crit, and the feedback I received helped me to make some decisions I was a bit unsure about, and really direct my brief in a certain direction. I've decided that my packaging will be type focused, to ensure that it attracts the right target audience. This will be a good challenge, as I usually work image based, so I really need to try using type only to communicate. I've got a lot of organising and planning to do, before showing my progress to the same group of people in next weeks crit. Hopefully they can give me some more useful advice and let me know if my initial designs are working in the way that I want them too. Next week, we lose a day with the bank holiday, and also we have many PPD tasks to get through, so I hope I still manage to keep up this good level of work I have been doing so far.
Week Thirteen [Monday 07/05/12]
After the crit I got lots of feedback to do with my font, so it made sense to create this font as soon as possible so I could get more feedback. I'm really happy with this and it works better than any attempt at making a font I've had before. I've done a lot of preparing and am getting a long well, however, I don't know if research has influenced me a lot as I haven't really done a lot so I need to do some to save me from getting stuck. I need to work really hard next week so that I can get everything ready for my print slots.
Week Fourteen [Monday 14/05/12]
I'm realising how close it is now to the hand in date, so have made a day to day plan of what needs to get done to stop me from getting behind. If I stick to it I think I will produce a good range of deliverables. I am starting to worry that my designs are a bit simple, so I do really need to do more research as I feel like something is missing from my designs. I need everything to be finished by next tuesday night, as my print slot is on the wednesday morning. I will then have the rest of wednesday, thursday and friday morning to take my photoshoot, prepare my boards, and make sure all my blogging is up to date and my evaluation is done. There is a lot of work to get through but hopefully I will get it all done!
Week Fifteen [Monday 21/05/12]
I've done so much work this week and am really pleased with my printed final products. As always, I panicked at the end, and didn't have time to do everything I said I wanted to do to the extent I wanted to. I have written more about this in my module evaluation.
Module Deadline... Friday 25/05/12
