This project was perhaps the most rewarding one i’ve ever done I believe this is down to the act of making a physical object, and having to wait 2 days for it to be complete before it could even be used.
Within this brief i tackled design approaches which i have not yet used as a main visual element, whenever i’ve used photography before it had always been used as an accompanying feature however in this brief using it as the main visual element allowed me to produce outcomes which i couldn’t of previously produced.
The feedback i received for this brief was the most positive i’ve come across throughout the course of this year, comments such as ‘amazing concept’ and ‘very personal and unique’ were made, it was also suggested that i make prints out of the images and sell these.
The reason why i found this brief so successful is because i approached it in a new way to myself and my practice, not relying on my illustration skills, and it resulted with a body of outcomes which are the most conceptually effective i’ve produced.
Continuing in to Level 5 i’m going to take away from this brief the fact that stepping out of your comfort zone can lead to more developed work. I’ve also discovered that i really engage with making a 3D object/ a physical thing which can then be used within a 2D piece of design.
Although the concept didn’t develop much from the initial idea, my skills as a designer have developed and in effect the way i approach a new brief will no longer rely on illustration and two dimensional explorations.
