Evaluation for The Notion Beauty and Responsible Design and Personal Project

Evaluation Personal Project

Doing this project was getting to my head because I had to redo my brief so many times and I didn’t understand why the teachers didn’t understand my brief. I hated the fact each week we had to alternate teachers about the work. One week a teacher would like the work and then the other would hate the work. What the fuck, it is doing my head in. fuck sakes, why can’t we have one teacher to explain one thing. Then in the other hand having two teachers explain about different stuff. I understand it. It great to get feedback from teachers, but they should stop fucking about and asking us to show the same work again and again. It gets fucking annoying to do work. Both of them are great teachers but we should be having alternating teaching in a different way. It fucking around my head what I’m meant to be expecting from teachers. Anyway, doing project my initial idea was jewel case for the Album cover for the Group JLS. Then from their I got confused then my teachers made it more confusing. So I agreed to redo the brief one more time, thinking I had only 4 weeks to the project. But in fact I had 7 weeks been great. That gives me plenty of time to do the work. I was thinking why the teachers making it sound like it will take a long time to design a cover. The only hard bit would be the temple plate or net of album cover for jewel case. Now, I knew why they were confused because I wasn’t precise about the brief because it sounded like I wanted make one of the old album cover from vinyl.
Once I was getting somewhere, I changed my brief again which was 4 weeks in project which, I was pissed off so I did what I did best and made a poster. I didn’t really care how the poster looks like. I didn’t even want to make a poster. I was bored making posters, so I though to myself I should make something that is challenging and test my abilities were I didn’t use any computers programmes just magazines, drawings and a colours photocopy machines. I found it very difficulty to do and time consuming. But there was an up side to this work were I realized what if I had no computers and left with pen and paper. Now that was quite scary to know that I was limit but I managed it well and I felt good at the same time.
When I placed the work on the train. My heart was pumping hard because there were people watching me placing some kind of poster but they didn’t know what it was. Some people though it was protest for something. But getting closer glace to the work they were impressed what they saw. But the adrenalin rush was kicking in. Afterwards, I was relaxed and I put the work like it was a normal thing.
Overall this was the hardest project that I did and I know my final outcome wasn’t great but my sketchbook is great and it show all the back up work that I did. Hopeful I’ll lead this type of style of I get into trouble in any work again. Actually, I rather get everything done and right the first time.



Evaluation The Notion Beauty and Responsible Design

At first doing this project sounded difficult because I didn’t know what to do without using firmly programmes. This was challenge pushing my boundaries where I have done before. Also, it made me think there more stuff out there and should be testing it out or I’ll be losing my chance of doing it. This project made me think I haven’t done a lot animation and work on website. I think this was fear factor which, I had to get over. I was moaning and explaining at the first week and I argued at my teacher, wasn’t great start to the year. But, I was glad that I got into argument because I didn’t understand anything at all. The first mistake I did was having argument with my teacher. A thing that I can’t forget. During the week and days went past by I suck up my pride and be a man about it and apologize to my teacher. Then I slowly got into the grove of working and got the storyboard and I totally forgot the blog. This isn’t me slacking, I am always one step ahead. I must admitted, I was falling behind with work but I caught up with work. The word ‘Beauty’ was used too many times to thing about and still think beauty still need to be found because it not clear. There are examples about beauty but that how different cultures face beauty. Doing this project made me think I don’t need to use advance things just make things look good or know a well-known programme. I realized if the idea is simple it will work well. The next project I do I’ll make the idea simple and easy to understand. Simple and easy.
