The process of creating my research publication has been a really challenging experience. I set myself a lot of crazy ideas and challenged myself in how I could step outside my comfort zone as a designer.
In doing this I feel that I have learnt a lot of lessons that have helped me see where my strengths and weaknesses lie. I have definitely enjoyed using a multitude of different stocks and experimenting with colour a lot more that I have in previous modules which I think had made my book really interesting and different to look at.
However in regards to time and crafting I think I really let myself down, I have had the struggle as with the rest of mu modules with juggling different briefs which has made me neglect other areas of particular brief which then left me on the day of submission reprinting an binding my book and then messing it up at the final hurdle. This was a very harsh mistake but I have definitely learnt from it as a designer and will now ensure that when I start a project I take the time to practice my final crafting a few times instead of leaving it last minute.
I also wished that I had blogged this brief as I went because I have done so much development and experiments but due to loosing pictures and forgetting to state when I had done them I haven't been able to express this.
In conclusion I have really pushed myself as a designer in this module by trying to step out of what I usually do, I think I have really benefited in doing this as I have learnt a lot from this and it will help me develop as designer and become more organised and more careful when it comes to my work.
