I have had some basic ideas based on what I have researched so far but nothing I would like to commit to just yet. Starting to feel that as much as I want to get on with the design work for this project that maybe I have to step back and wait until I get the right idea.
After discussing potential ideas with my lecturers last thursday, I have come to notice after looking back at previous work that I have tendency to have one idea and push it forward until it works - I need to do more research in different areas and broaden my range of research to improve myself as a designer. Although I believe that I am a good designer I have considered that maybe I do not experiment enough and have limited my creativity in the past few months. I want to improve and I am determined to be the best I can be.
Looking back on my discussion with my lecturers I have realised a few things about the way I design and that is very important. I can design well so I tend to stick to my safe zone... I need to express myself more with design and try new things to improve. I now consider this to be vital part of my development as a designer.
Post Final Thoughts
This project is about me at the end of the day and is a chance to express myself as a creative individual to the fullest. To express my views and opinions using graphic design as platform. After all besides all the commercial chaos involved with design - being creative is about expressing yourself as an individual. This could the last chance that I get for a while to do a project that actual has meaning to me and I need to grasp this opportunity with everything I have got.
