All in all I am extremely happy with the outcome of Studio Brief 3. I think this brief went well for me due to the fact I did a lot of initial research to get me started, but then the interim crit gave me some extremely helpful opinions, ideas, feedback and directions to go in. Without the crit I doubt I would have completed this brief with a piece of work I like so much.
Although my initial research was very helpful to me as it gave me the foundations of my designs and layout, the research I gathered after the crit due to the suggestion of looking at Elephant and Matt Willey was a lot more helpful and influential to my work. It was from that research I discovered ‘Port’, which also gave me ideas to play around with and I hope all of this is clear in my work although I don’t want it to appear I have just copied or take ideas from those publications.
This brief has taught me to always follow up other people’s suggestions; whether that be to change something, add something or look at something, because it won’t do any harm but may be of great use. In this brief I listened and asked other people for their opinion more and more and got great feedback every-time which helped me make some pretty big design decisions in my work.
If I were to do this brief again I would definitely try to get my hands on some physical copies of Port and Elephant as I think this possibly would have helped me a lot more than just looking at a very select few on a computer screen. Other than that I’m not sure how much I could do differently as I had set content to work with, but I am happy with my final outcome.
