Love these. The colour swatches work really well and I like the how the transparency is set on some of the colours.

End of Module Self-Evaluation OUGD403

• What skills have you developed through this module and how effectively do you think you have applied them?

I started off using new improved skills when I used Illustrator to create my three posters. I traced images directly using the pen tool instead of hand tracing images and digitally rendering them. The effect looked a lot better for what I wanted to do. 

I'm really glad I have taken advantage of the laser cutter. Luckily I decided to get involved and have an induction which meant I was able to use it in my proverbally yours brief and made a set of stamps.

Having a specialised printing room on the bottom floor has made me more aware of the stocks that work well with my work and I think this skill of selecting different stocks has improved. I now think carefully with an open mind about what I am going to print on before I print it.

My typography skill has really improved. Before I came here I had not done any work related to creating typography and even though I think my typeface briefs could be improved I am still satisfied with what I have produced. 

• What approaches to methods of idea generation have you developed and how have they informed your design development process?

I think using design sheets and creating a grid with quick ideas works really well as you are able to select your favourite designs and develop them further instead of just focusing on a few designs and creating them to a final piece. I also think working on paper and blogs works well for me as sketchbooks feel restricting.

• What strengths can you identify in your work and how have/will you capitalise on these?

I think my work is all different, meaning I have experimented with different styles, colours, formats, media and stocks. I have tried to do new things creatively. I will capitalise by continuing to create new things and explore new ideas.

• What weaknesses can you identify in your work and how will you address these in the future?

Usually once I have developed something further from a set of idea's I find it hard to re-visit work and re-design. I think this is a mixture of being slightly lazy and also not wanting to change the design because I personally might like it. 

I am going to force myself to re do work if it is not to the best standard along with not jumping into an idea without knowing I have exhausted my design sheets.

• Identify five things that you will do differently next time and what do you expect to gain from doing these?

I will do more design sheets, development and experimentation which I think will make my design more dynamic, creative and generally more interesting.

  I will do more contextual research when I am designing so that I am more informed in design. So far I have been blogging lots of different design I like but not utilising it when doing my own practice. I think this will make my work more professional. 

I am also going to try and interpret the briefs differently in a way which will allow me to be more creative. Trying to read between the lines I guess. When I read the brief sometimes I panic without reading it properly without understanding what potentially I could do.

I will re design different pieces of work I create in the future to see if they can be improved. I think this will improve my design as developing ideas will create better design and if it doesn't then I will not have lost anything.

I will organise my time more efficiently. I think this will allow me to create more work to a higher standard; example, booking printing slots in the prints rooms so that I am not panicking about printing my work.

 Very nice examples of typography. I like how the typeface feels hand drawn but rendered digitally.  Again Rudi De Wet.

just downloaded this badboy. Very nice font by Rosy Gorolova

 

I have no idea how this was made. Woodkid's EP cover. 

URBANEARS

 

This website is mint. I like how you can drag and drop the colours onto the headphones. They even have the PANTONE code!

The plan was to get a decent pair of running shoes. Bought the Reebok classics in suede - I cant run in them there too nice.

Went to sports direct to get some shitty ones that I could actually run in and ended up buying the green Adidas Originals SL 72's -  daaayymmm, not the best running shoes but they look good.

bemboszoo is an interactive website which allows you to click on a letter of the Alphabet and it will show you an anomated illustration of an animal that begins with that letter; made out of a typeface! Pretty cool at!

Jerry Levitan, director Josh Raskin and illustrators James Braithwaite and Alex Kurina

In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan snuck into John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto and convinced him to do an interview. 38 years later, Levitan, director Josh Raskin and illustrators James Braithwaite and Alex Kurina have collaborated to create an animated short film using the original interview recording as the soundtrack. A spellbinding vessel for Lennon's boundless wit and timeless message, I Met the Walrus was nominated for the 2008 Academy Award for Animated Short and won the 2009 Emmy for 'New Approaches' (making it the first film to win an Emmy on behalf of the internet). - imetthewalrus youtube.

Inspiring words along with a great video. I admire Jerry Levitan for sneaking into Lennon's hotel room and grabbing the opportunity to get the interview. Amazing.The visuals for me bring the interview alive and help you remember the under lying message and points covered.

 

An alternative to desperado's. Slightly cheaper and the design on the front is a lot better!
