Something More Feedback

  - graphic traffic light?

- bit serendipitous 

- should have kept the original yellow tones rather than green 

- really fun, great idea


- would this solution help or hinder the problem?

- it could create the effect of more polarisation 

- trying to convert people, this logo idea may be too mocking or humorous

SELF- EVALUATION 

I find these types of briefs not very engaging because they are not specifically directed within my interests. Although as a group we adapted the brief to be within a subject we all found interesting, I find that if a brief isn't within a scope I am passionate about it is more difficult. I also need to remember that briefs set by other people follow the same process as briefs I set for myself: Inform everything through research! It's easy to approach a brief I don't like with a mindset of 'create something quickly and through just ideas I have'. 

It felt easy as a brief within the group as I spent a lot of time organising everyone and giving out roles and time planning, but overall having to do that with people who don't work well means I spend less time on the creative side of things, which is frustrating. 

The feedback we received from Something More aligned with ideas and developments we had already had or made, such as keeping the traffic light colour system more to Trump's skin colour (yellow, orange, red). Having evaluated this idea and deciding it didn't communicate as effectively, the overall project was successful, especially as there were no other suggestions by Something More. 

For future briefs in the Extended Project it would be challenging but important for me to approach more live and competition briefs that are already set, in order for me to get used to approaching and completing them alone.

 To Complete Website: > Name Love.jpeg created into artwork for starting page  > Lydia Article  > Joely Article  LYDIA + JOELY COLLAGE PIECES FOR ARTICLES  So - During lockdown 0.1, I found myself happily single and most definitely enjoying a little bit of me time… I was adamant that nobody was going to distract me from this intense period of isolation. One day I decided to go on a walk round the park (by myself of course). All of a sudden I find myself bumping into an old family friend’s son. This is someone who I have fancied since I was a kid, and admired from a far… We got chatting and ended up having a socially distance convo for about half an hour. FYI - I knew this person had a GF… When I got home and checked my phone, he had slid into my DMs and we started texting. One thing lead to another - he ended up confessing he’s been in love with me for years, he split up with his girlfriend the next day and we also got a private apartment in town where ...

Identity EVALUATION

Alike to GAIA EXRTH, it was disappointing not being able to complete the brief within the timescale set out. I recognise that I like working a lot on passion projects and pushing them further and further, to the point that perhaps the goals I set are unrealistic or I spend too long on one level/area of the project. In this case this was a research brief and I set out to spend a lot of time doing research and testing ideas. I found this a more difficult brief to do within the covid landscape and felt less inspired, as I wanted to go out into the world and look at things, ask people, visit places and so on. This meant this project took a back seat and by the end of the year revisiting it so late on meant there was no time to fulfil the visions I had for the project. It's exciting however to have so many projects I'm interested in to be continuing after uni as it means I can keep the momentum up of designing and producing more ideas and more work. The overall concept of this inter...

  LAYOUTS and UX I've noticed design studios use for their sites: 1. Simple white layout or black and white layout, sans-serif bold text, no specific logo or style present, scroll down box images of each project 2. Introductory logo used as image window or general logo, interaction leads into actual site  3. More interesting layout utilises UX more and guides the user through the different areas with seamless arrows  4. Either all the outputs are seen together collectively small, or they are large, independent, you have to scroll/click through to get to different briefs  STUDIOS that produce work I'm interested in: YES — Featured - Mostly do site designs and UX which is something I have only touched on - But their aesthetic and direction is really similar to where I would picture myself going, feels very artistic, has touches of fine art there rather than other studios which feel extremely one dimensional graphic design, super commercial branding  - Work with lo...
