evaluation 2

During the brief,m I feel that I followed a good structured design process well I began by doing some research via the internet and also via books from the library, existing posters in sandwich shops, etc. I then did some mock ups on photoshop and illustrator to get an idea of what I wanted to do, I feel that this research and mock ups were done reasonably well and helped me to go onto a final idea.

In the first client meeting out of what I did we presented my website as well as a couple of posters of my own design, the clients said that the website was alright but not really what they were looking for and that the posters were good and a bit more along the lines of what they wanted. From this I think that the work I did up until then was worth while, definitely down the correct path and was of a good standard. In the second meeting most of the work was a combined effort, but from what I did I feel was of a good standard and the clients really liked it.

I fel that I have a pretty darn good interpretation of the brief, I thought that I was able to get into the same mindset as the clients were and understand what it was that they needed. I feel that I worked well in a team and shared the workload well, I thought that I did some good work and contributed a lot of worthwhile ideas and suggestions. In the final presentation I think that I spoke well about the work and explained it in a clear and easy way that the clients were able to understand, I answered questions given by them to the best of my ability and overall I feel that the presentation went well from my side of it. I felt that we came up with what we needed to do for them, and did it well, the clients seemed to like the work as well. Throughout the brief I was in class every day we were scheduled and I was on time. I also came in one some of the days we were off to get work finished.

Two local Techno DJs, Dave Dow and DJ Fyvie have asked us to design a logo, website, flyers, and an e flyer. They were looking for something that represented them and encorporated a dark gritty looking citcy scene combined with a nocturnal animal somewhere in it. From what I got from them I felt that the animal represented them. An exotic animal in an environment that they look out of place in but they somehow fit in. A techno band that plays nice soothing tech-house looking out of place in a sea of generic and predictable techno music.

We decided to split the workload between the 5 of us. I did the photoshop and fireworks work, steven was doing sketching and some poster design, ashleigh was doing dreamweaver and some photoshopping, and kirstin and james were goiong to focus on illusrator and photography.
