FEEDBACK

Week 7 / Feedback : Mr. Vinod gives everyone feedbacks for their work progression. No lecture was given. Week 8 / Feedback : Mr. Vinod gives everyone feedbacks for their work progression. After our artwork was proved, we need to began to start designing the poster. Week 9 / Independent Learning Week : Mr. Vinod told me to add more design elements to the artworks instead. After redoing the suggested changes Mr. Vinod Told me that now Idea wise the artwork is lacking even though it looks good.




REFLECTION

Experience:
Even though I had a concept in mind I had trouble finding a way to execute it effectively. With Mr. Vinod's feedbacks I kept changing my approach constantly. Finding unique images that represent the creators, trouble was not easy.
Because my final designs were not Finalized that week I found myself juggling a lot of work within a short period. Even though I dropped back I made t
ime and began working on a new final design from scratch.


Observation:
I found that I spent a lot of time searching for images and effects I could use in my artwork. These images did not work well most of the time.
Finding inspiration outside of the normal areas helped me broaden my ideas. Instead of looking for inspiration looking at other artists' work helped me tackle the project from a different angle. Instead of Searching for pictures online I decided to save time and draw what was its head and use that as my artwork. This gave me a lot more freedom to explore.

Findings:
If the foundation of an idea is not strong it is very difficult to execute it properly. Sometimes it is better to start fresh with a better understanding than try to keep amending an old idea. I found that it requires a lot of reading and research to come up with the right concept. Finding metaphors that represent a specific title is not an easy and proper understanding of what the title means to come up with a strong concept.


FURTHER READING

Thinking with type
The page is full of fascinating full-color examples, fast and easy to read. Moreover, it is packed with footnotes, side notes, quotation marks, and other interesting tidbits, attracting readers and texts. It is written for more of a general audience that includes writers and editors rather than just designers. The focus isn't on the web as much; it's just more of an-around typography primer. This book includes tons of tips about how to apply the practices through modern computer software.
