Evaluation

When i first go this project i was excited by the music project available but i now realise this is mainly because i was coming out of a music related project, i now feel that another project would of tested my abilities more.
I started the project with optimism and felt i did well at the beginning however with several holidays (3 week break) being after the brief in it dampened my spirits and initial thoughts about what i could do with the projects set. When researching i swayed towards the musical scene graphic design and forgot that i was doing something for a charity, this confused my ideas because i had certain type of ideas but felt they were too "out there" for a charity design. When the time for the presentation came i felt unprepared due to this confusion of ideas however i felt i got a design direction out of my presentation which was the Saul Bass style, i had done a Saul Bass project in first year college and i researched him before so i knew a fair bit about him and i believe this helped me develop my designs.
Throughout the design and development stage i struggled with ideas, i wanted to have a brave new style but i also knew that it was for  charity so it couldnt be too much. After a while i did get the ball rolling and start to understand the style i was going for more, i was able to create outcomes much more effectively and with better quality.
If i had to do this project again i wouldnt choose the music related one, i feel that because i was excited by my last project which was music based that this one would be just as good however i didnt enjoy the "charity" part of it. I think if i went for another project such as the annual report i could have designed better outcomes which would have a more charity feel to them. Overall i was rate my efforts on this project high, the flame started to die out throughout the middle stage but near the end it was reignited to complete the project.
