throughout the course of this module i've really become aware of how much pressure i put on my self, and what is actually realistic. Overall i completed 8 briefs, however i had to get rid of two at the last minute as i just didn't have time to produce the right blogs and design boards. I need to understand when to stop expecting my self to do so much work because at this point in time i just can't do it.
The briefs i've completed have been really interesting, particularly the publication feature for Ollie and Will as it was the first publication i've ever been featured in. The kirkgate brief was perhaps the most enjoyable, i set myself a limited time frame as i wanted to see what was possible to achieve and i was actually really happy with the outcome, i think because it was something i wouldn't of originally thought to design. Throughout the course of sb2 i've also learnt how to work in collaboration with people, although it continues to not be my favorite form of working it is becoming more and more interesting to see the process behind other peoples designs.
My main set back, as previously mentioned is over estimating how good i am at time management, i will take away from this a more realistic view of how much work i can do.
The Prawn Shop photoshoot was the most exciting brief for myself, i think this is probably because i've built the brand from the ground up and to see images of the t-shirts in such a high quality brand makes the brand kind of seem more real in a way.
This module has been very useful is giving us an insight in to the real life of a designer, as stressful as it is, it's very interesting to produce several pieces of work all for different purposes, it helped to push me out of my comfort zone a little bit when i comes to taking part in new opportunities such as the collaboration with students from Singapore.
