Week 17- The Last Week

This week the focus was on tying everything together, finishing up my research folder, completing my portfolio and creating my 3D aspects. I had continued my research as I progressed with this project, printing as I went along so completed it didn't take me too long, it was mainly development of my promotional ideas. I wanted to include all the different designs I created to highlight that I tried several different ideas before picking the final outcome. When compiling my research and development boards I wanted to keep them as relevant as possible as in a lot of cases they are all people will look at to see where the idea has came from. The design is consistent across all 4 boards.

I got my 3D aspects and portfolio professionally printed on Tues 14th to give me time to fix up any mistakes I came across. I really like how my promotion looked when printed, the colours are really vibrant and I think they all work really well as a collection.

Once I had completed my 3D aspects (cut out, assembled etc) I had a play around with the design layout for my table. Since the artificial grass I am going to use is the right depth I marked out on the floor the proper width so i could see how much room I will have. I was unsure whether to leave white space either side of the grass but I felt it made the display look unfinished so I filled them up with the leaflet design. Front to the left and the reverse side to the right. i wanted to keep the whole display symmetrical as I feel it makes it look more professional. The cups will be placed in the middle of the table acting as the main focus.

I got the rest of my postcards printed on Friday leaving me the weekend in case I think of other parts to go in the research.

Now that the project is over on reflection I feel I have managed my time rather well, I think if I hadn't of kept up research throughout I would of been panicking more towards the end but from previous experiences I knew I wanted to keep on top of it. In terms of design I am quite impressed with what I was able to achieve.I wanted to keep it as fun as possible in a quite cartoon like manner which I think turned out well. I gave myself plenty of time between printing and actual deadlines so I could really check they turned out how I wanted to. I feel this project reflects my design abilities well and will hopefully work well in my favour when it comes to interviews.
