Looking back at this briefs and the tasks set, I believe I
have delivered what was asked of me in terms of producing a new visual identity
for Skylights, a new visual identity for SAR Architects and a branded exhibition
and exhibition idea collaboration with Josh Roberts.
I found this brief manageable. I feel like I managed my time
well and completed it sooner than expected. Ideas generation was quite easy and I had a
clear vision in mind from quite early on as to what I wanted to produce in
terms of my Skylights band visual identity. Ideas wise I feel I had plenty of
ideas to come up with various concepts relatively quickly as the issues of a
visual identity was a common factor across all briefs. My research stood me in
good stead to kick on and develop a solid idea. My research for both Studio
brief one and two allowed me to gather a lot of ideas and I had a large amount
of material I could use for inspiration.
The tutors have been around and are always available for
advice when needed. They have been helpful and have given me ideas when needed
which have helped me further develop my work. It was easy to ask for advice on
what works best, and the presentation of my first live brief helped me further
my ideas also.
I feel the workload has started to feel a lot again due to
the number of briefs we’re currently working on at once, it can be quite
difficult to almost juggle all the briefs at once, especially when certain
modules expect relatively extensive portions of work during important and often
stressful deadline periods for other modules. There is a lot of work on at once
to be able to concentrate enough time for everything evenly, meaning some
modules may get less attention to make sure the module with fastest approaching
deadline is up to scratch. There isn’t enough time when other briefs are pushed
heavily.
I feel my time management across the whole module was good.
I didn’t not agree with having a time management workshop that demonstrated a
3/4/5 week plan sprung upon us a week before an important deadline. I feel like
the content of the workshop would have been much more beneficial if given or
offered to us at a time where we didn’t have a looming deadline or a large
number of modules on at once, I feel like the way it was given to us meant it
was frankly a waste of time and was not a good management of my time. I also
feel employability fortnight was a waste of everybody’s time that could have
been spent making sure all modules are up to speed or developing this module to
ensure a much better outcome. Again, I feel like if the fortnight was given to
us at a calmer period of the year then it would and could be beneficial and
more students would take part and listen to the content, but when students are
worried about getting behind, a fortnight of workshops that don’t relate to our
current coursework work in any way is not a smart use of our time.
If I was to visit this project again I would be better
prepared with time management. Despite feeling positive about how I managed my
time I always aim to improve this. I would also make sure I’m consistently
blogging as I feel this is one of things I need to improve upon the most. I
would give myself more time to experiment with my ideas, maybe allow myself to
take more risks with more time to correct or improve anything. Even though I’m
happy with my outcomes, Giving myself more time to experiment with my ideas
more for both briefs would result in better outcomes. Although I’m very happy
with my outcomes it’s always good to improve upon that and gather even more
research to be able to develop more ideas and produce better outcomes.
