Evaluation

As this module was such a big module my research was such a big part of this as it helped explain more about the brand I was given because overall I wasn’t sure on the brand and what they did. I looked into the Mulberry tree itself and I researched this to link to my project, which helped me with the final look of the design altogether including the colour.

My main work process was to keep up to date with my research and design’s so being in the studio helped me do this. Also having Ollie there to help with the design process was very helpful as I didn’t really know how to do 2D design on Illustrator but him teaching us was very helpful and made my design’s come to life and look professional. Which makes my idea of bath products look like actual work for a company, my skills improved a lot more and I was able to help others in class.

I’ve learned a lot about in this module the main one being come in and work in the studio the days that help is around as you are able to improve design and change bits later on. I’ve also learned that research that you do is key as it improves on your designs and idea’s, this is what happened to me I researched the Mulberry tree a little more and found out a lot more about it that I didn’t know. Even though this might not end up in your final outcome just having the knowledge is good as you can actually link areas. I linked the wood to the tree, fruit to the smell and colour. I’ve also got more confident with the blog instead of the sketchbooks as this became a lot easier to handle and collect information and keep it together.

Overall I do like my work and am impressed with how much my skills have improved in the space of two weeks, as this is when I had a final idea and could then expand and design. At the beginning of this module I had my mind set on one idea however as time went on I’m glad I changed it, as I don’t think the outcome would have been as strong. I would like to have done a few more products to expand on the range of bath products and then this could have improved my skills a lot more. However I’m happy with the work that I was able to do and I’m pleased I was able to use my time well and in the right places.
