OUGD402 Studio Brief 1 | OUGD405 Studio Brief 1 Evaluation

My Studio Brief 1 work isn’t my favourite worked I have produced and I’m not 100% happy with my final outcome but from the crit feedback I am confident that I completed the brief.

I think the research I gathered at the start of the brief could have been more extensive to help me get a wider range of ideas to explore but overall I think the research I did gather helped me get to where I finished.

The interim crit was a very important point in the brief for me as the feedback I got was extremely helpful. I started off looking at animals and thanks to John’s feedback along with the group, I ended up doing something much more interesting to me and hopefully to everyone else too.

One thing I do regret and would do next time or if I had more time on the brief, is that I couldn’t take my own pictures. At this point I hadn’t had my photography induction yet and wasn’t fully confident with a DSLR. Instead I gathered my images from the internet., which was good as I kind of had a wide range of choices. I say ‘kind of’ because I had a specific look I wanted and I also needed an object to form my polygon shape around, so although there were a lot of images, not a lot fit the criteria i needed.

Once I found images I could use and liked, it was difficult to match the black and white settings as each one already had their own. I thought I had done it as close as possible and they looked okay but it wasn’t until I printed them out I saw how different they were.


This has taught me that I should definitely take my own photos for any project.
