I enjoyed the perspective drawings in the 1st year so ive been drawing quite a lot of these this summer, hopefully i'd like a do a larger piece that could be used as part of my portfolio later on.

Here ive tried printing letters using different textured wall papers, i like some off the out comes, they're each one of a kind making them interesting.

ive moved my interest onto type and gone through the same process of recording type as i did textures. any type that stands out or is engraved in some way i have recorded.

Using drawing i can record textures that i come across in a different possibly more interesting way.

I took a lot of photos of things i thought had intersting colours, textures and feels to them. However taking photos is rather dull, i want to record such things in different more intersting ways.

Very simple design aimed to be decorative to fit in with your house's furniture and coloured walls, making this very functional within your home.

Love how plain the case to this perfume is apart from the type which is extremely bright and playful, which draws us in. The type stands out, the metal tin is bubbled out at the type adding to its playful feature.

For the print brief im interested in looking for homely things that have interest in one way or another for example the product above is a healthy drink clearly aimed at children. The character design and use of colour makes this more appealing to children.

Evaluation
This module began with the recognition day brief. I rather enjoyed this brief since i approached it differently to previous ones. I tried using photography as my main content. I used rather thought out photos that consided depth of field and macro. I feel these worked very well rather then using images that have been brought into illustrater and changed. The photos weren't altered but raw from the source which i think gives them more value. In this brief i should have considered the type more, as it was very important in supporting the photos. On a whole i feel the photos i used were very visually pleasing. It's taught me the importance photography can have in communication.
The next brief was How to... which started badly. My ideas to start with were poor and when i tried to make these work the results didnt look graphic and didnt communicate well. I produced many ideas but my development in this brief was lacking. When i changed my idea to one that was working which is the map idea i should have pushed it further with colour use and researched it more then i did. I aren't very happy with this brief there is a lack of development and research which would have pushed my final piece further. However on the plus i think i produced a lot of ideas on this brief all having potential. If i was to do it again i would push more of these ideas and develop them further.
The collaborative brief came next which made me have to organise myself. Since i was working with another person it meant i had to organise each day so we could work together share our ideas and develop them. Individually we gathered research and brought it together which meant we had more research on a whole. The problem with collaborative briefs is its easy to become reliant on your partner which in this case i don't believe was me. I prefer working by myself since there's noone else to rely on but me. From the last brief this one was more developed, when we had our idea we did develop it to try push it further and make it communicate better. More planning could have been taken to push the final idea further.
The final five week brief was speaking from experience. I found that distractions this year prevented me from working a whole lot so this is what i addressed. I should have produced more ideas, i feel i did jump into my ideas straight away without trying others and pushing their potential. I researched each of my final outcomes unlike in previous briefs to see what other designers have produced and help develop my ideas. I tried and tested different layouts to push my final pieces. I was rather happy with my final outcomes, i screen printed the majority of them which seemed appropriate. Compared to the previous briefs i think i pushed myself much more. I felt the benefits of researching my ideas and developing them i feel its given my final pieces more value and i appreciate them more.

Here's my coaster in action in the studio. Rather dashing!

In the center is my flyer which is simply tying together my resolutions and giving tips on how to study best without being distracted, i think as a set of things it works well with its mainly black and white theme and logo to tie it together.

This is my mouse mat which again i screen printed onto foam paper. The mat is completely type based. I wanted to play with positive and negative space which i think i did quite effectively. I listed many websites that would be considered as distractions from doing work, then placed my priorities logo in the middle in white appearing as negative space. Again simple idea but straight to the point without having to spell it out. The mouse mat to the right was an error when printing, i happened to print it without aligning it correctly so it was printed twice onto the mat. However i actually like this, priorities is more readable and i think the message is still clear.
