Image//OUGD205 Module Feedback.

Module feedback from the OUGD205 Image module that was sent back to us today. Happy with all the comments given, and definitely see the relevance of this within my work, and wish in certain areas I could have devoted more time or experimentation to my weekly outcomes.


A little disappointed with the grade, largely because it's only 1% higher than last year, and I feel that I put a considerable deal more effort in, though I understand that the years are graded differently. Plus, it's also my lowest grade of the year so far. However, I still maintain that it's been my favourite module of the year, and I really appreciate the ideas, inspiration and challenges it has provided me, and that have given more focus and direction into the future of my design practice.

Image//Final evaluation.

My full, written evaluation to finalise my Image module- reflecting on what I feel comfortable with, my strengths, and what, ideally, I would have liked to improve, given my time to work on the module again.

Enterprise//Enterprise Group//Events Map.

Finally got a bit of design work done for enterprise! Between all of the heavy research it felt good to utilise my design practice for work other than proposed stock, here, making an "events map" which will be handed out during our presentation on Tuesday to other members of the presentation group as well as tutors, which shows the events and exhibitions that we will be selling at/networking at in 2012. 


Along with my research of the venues, times, etc, I was lucky enough to use some existing stock images for the design so it was able to be made quickly and efficiently- time for some more research!

Image//Type as Image//Brief & Rationale.

The brief and my written rationale for the second briefing from the Image module, as delivered in yesterday afternoon's session- written notes about my target audience, research required etc, which I shall start doing imminently. 

The quotes I picked for my 'Type as Image' brief (from the articles we worked on for last week's 'Editorial Image' brief) are:


1. RELATIONSHIP MATHS: FACEBOOK:
"Brass- rubbing"



2. DOCTOR, DOCTOR:
"I wish I could!"



3. THIS COLUMN WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE:
"It certainly has nothing to do with the number of birds"


I felt that these three quotes had a lot of potential for experimentation within my designs and that I could produce a great selection of visual communication with various methods of delivery- excited to get started!

Image//Editorial//Feedback.

(Design sheets above for the final resolutions, in context, of my designs for the week- long brief of Editorial Image).

Today we had our second Image session- and a chance to showcase our week's designs and receive feedback from other members of the session.

In a group of four (along with Matt Chatfield, Mitch Weaver and Steph Lawson) we discussed each of our designs, potential improvements, and things we could do if we were to revisit the brief- my notes were as follows:

FEEDBACK//EDITORIAL IMAGE

- Good ideas, clear, well represented

- Perhaps try out a different colour scheme for the colour blind test so that it doesn't actually affect those who are colour blind (thus the design being a bit pointless!)

- Experiment with different shapes (as opposed to two circles) on the x2 article page

Really happy with the feedback I got, people seemed to like the concept development- particularly of 'This column will change your life', and given the time, I felt I did an okay job, yet still lots more room for improvement- looking forward to the next brief to apply the feedback and criticisms in the design I got from this session to make a positive change in the next set of designs.
