Loose Project Evaluation


Open publication - Free publishing - More loose

Mini end of project self evaluation

I feel that in this project for a start I learned so much. Screen printing is a major factor especially when it come to printing on fabrics apposed to paper, I have gotten an intimate knowledge of the process and its variables. As well as screen print talking to other creative photographers and professional printers has given me a greater knowledge of the professional world outside the studio. I feel that my promotional skills has also been tested getting to grips with social media platforms and keeping promotion on a page going.

Software wise I feel that I have gotten better one illustrator, photoshop and indesign.

Photography, I have gained a lot of confidence within my own set of photography skills although i have learnt that using a professional photographer for something as bit as this would make a project far less stressful but also give me less control on the images I use.

I also feel that I have started improving my skills as a director and organising a team of people in the terms of photography shoots and organising publications.

Editorial - My image heavy layout skills have gotten much better especially producing publications and designing for a purpose.

I have found a weakness of mine is branding but this is only when compared to matt, I feel that I can improve this within my next projects but working as a collaborative partnership I learnt a lot from matt and his work ethic with logo design.

A weakness for this brief has been time management, although everything got done this brief's printing side was so big it really influenced the rest of my projects and resulted in a lot of late nights.

If I had more time I would of extended this brief, printed far more of my photographic Tshirts and produced a full collatoral range for this project on the lines of stock books, letter heads ect. 

Crits









Here are a range of my crits from this module, I decided to put them all in one post as their all relevant for all my projects. Crit feedback across this module has been help full to spot some errors within my work especially grammer. It has also helped to sort out concept problems and design problems that I have problems working out especially when I have been looking at the same thing for too long and end up missing simple errors. Refer to my folder for the rest of my crits, I have only uploaded the few crits I have received and then out of those I have only uploaded the ones which actually give me real feedback.

Just some of the many to do lists of OUGD301









This is just a select few of the many to do lists I have made across this module, I found that making daily to do lists and setting weekly goals it helped me to achieve the targets i needed to. Due to my severe dyslexia I find it incredibly hard to keep track of things to do so I find writing my daily to do list the night before then rewriting it as the day goes along seems to work. This makes these lists incredibly messy but in reality its me refering back to them and making constant notes relevant to that day. 

More posters I made that I'm not intending on using...

Amstersans Posters



These are two posters I am proposing to print to show my amstersans stypeface, I decided not to go ahead and print as I do not have the money nor would I want to keep these after hand in. 


Heres a poster For modern no5, The type sits really well with the image and I picked words which connote the typeface. I would like to print this poster but I do not have the money. Photography Thierry Sewell.
