I have been going to set sessions but need to commit to getting in early and staying later. This applied to my commitment to outside of the studio, I need to take a more proactive approach to my self directed work and print research.
Blogs - Very Good
Blogging has been inconsistent this year, but has made significant improvements after a bad start, will start blogging tasks on the day so they don’t build up. The connections between print and context are now becoming much easier to deal with on my context now that I have started to understand and complete my own research to the different processes, this in turn should have a positive effect on my design work
My PPD blog is an area I want to maintain committed to this year, after working with a few clients over summer I want to keep up these relationships and expand my contacts within different industries.
Current Progress - Good
My strengths defiantly lie within software development, especially within illustrator but I need to maintain the same progression in Photoshop and InDesign.
One of the areas for improvement is defining a target audience, I will stop doing projects that simply interest me and start to think about what makes them interesting and why there interesting. This will expand my creative approach to design, as well as the range of graphic styles that I explore.
Need to maintain a more constructive and directed aproach with context and practice work.
Action Plan
Draw out a timetable and think about how to divide my time effectively and productively. This includes staying in late for at least two or more days a week.
- 1 / 11 / 2011
Make and distribute surveys and primary research to define my target audience for Vinyl project.
- 26 / 10 / 2011
Re-write rationale once I have completed the rest of my primary research with a defined target audience and finalised set of deliverables.
- 29 / 10 / 2011
Discuss and decide on appropriate print methods, thorough my blog and communication with peers, for my ‘What is Good’ deliverables. Think about printing alternative substrates such as vinyl and explore how I could use laser cutting in this project.
- 1 / 11 / 2011
Design layout-using InDesign for my print manual - re-order the visual and contextual work. Think about printing for personal use in different formats – Posters (may end up cheaper than printing my own publication)
- 29 / 10 / 2011
Look for placements for over summer / possible Christmas and explore the role I want to take as a graphic designer
- After reading week
