FEMDOM FANTASY Evaluation

This brief was another really fun project to work on with a creative who has interesting ideas and a series of photographs which I have always wanted to design around (eg. Swallow from first year was similar). This was less a collaboration and more of a client scenario in that I gave her a moodboard of existing publications, asked if she had any examples she liked, produced designs and kept her up to date with my ideas and developments. She had a clear aesthetic she liked from the start which I am also a fan of and so producing this was a fun, easy straightforward experience. Coming up with additional outputs to go with the publication was a fun collaborative call, and having her there to see the production process was something I have learnt photographers like to do. This project was slightly difficult in that because of the free reign I had over the project, elements within the publication had to be made up by me - She wanted lots of text in the publication but had no ideas on what the text should or could be. Similar to Preternatural, coming up with the publication concept to encapsulate the photography series and give it a tone and narrative was fun, but large amounts of text was very time consuming to collate and write. I definitely found enjoyment in writing however, which encourages me to think going into editorial is the right path. I also got more experience in typesetting in this brief which is always interesting. 

Things to Remember:

> Photographers don't know your vision unless you describe it to them and get involved 

> You can come up with an aesthetic a client likes quickly and produce it at a high quality! (With time I think the ideas process will get faster and faster as I get better at it)

 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...
