What I did well:
I felt that during this brief I came up with three outcomes that I felt were very different to what other people were making and also reflected a lot of the personal style I've been developing throughout the rest of this year. Although for this particular project that may not have been exactly what they were looking for, I made something that I was happy with and that I felt like was a visually appealing piece of work.
I also felt I used type and image effectively in a way that I haven't before and considering I've never really done a poster before I think it was easy to read and understand and I'm glad I pushed my practise by doing something new.
What I could have improved on:
I could have considered the media size a little more when I was planning the piece, I was thumb nailing very small images and the final poster was meant to be quite large. When I saw the poster printed out the composition looked a little sparse and I could have included more detail which would have shown up really well when it was printed at a larger size.
How has this changed/affected my practise?:
Its made me realise I enjoy working with text and images together and so making posters is an activity thats probably well suited to me. I should try and identify more of these briefs that play to my strengths and use that in the future. I also think this brief furthered my confidence in my own work as I have seen that I can put together an image that I feel works well and is visually pleasing as well as fitting in with a brief.
Moving forward:
- I will try to design more posters
- I will work more with text and image combined
- I will continue to try to make the work that makes me happy and that I believe people will enjoy
- I will try and enjoy making my own work more
