Modular Reflection //
I can't quite believe I am saying this, but I think Im complete! It has been one very long and stressful modular to say the least. The beginning seems like a life time ago and the in-between seems like a blur.
I started this modular off by visit New York. It gave me such inspiration and a passion for designing to come in the Final Major Study. Equally, I also felt as a disadvantage from the time away. However, we were soon thrown in at the deep end. Rapidly I completed two D&AD projects. I can say throughout this modular they are by far, the work I am most proud of. It was hectic, with long hours and many tears but the outcome of working both independently and collaborative has given me a huge body of work. I think completing the both at the same time proved to me I could work effectively under such a stressful deadline.
Reflecting on the overall body of work from the modular, I have completed a lot of projects (more than I realised). I have said yes to every opportunity that has come my way - Gareth, Molly etc. Unintentionally I have completed a lot of little projects, extending them to my own personal advantage. I am glad I have took on such a variants of tasks, especially when compared to Negotiated. A lot of my time then was focused on my personal work. In Major I have branched into commercial and campaign. As much as I love political graphics and collage, I think its a dream to find a full time job in it. Mixing my style up and incorporating has been a good change.
Overall, this has by far been the most stressful modular I have ever completed at university. The obvious reason being the pressure. For me it has been the pressure of juggling everything. I have work commitments as well as univeristy and balancing the both has meant I have been non stop for the majority of the year. I think on reflection I am hugely proud that I have managed to maintain a job whilst also working towards my degree. The imminent idea of leaving into the unknown has also played a factor of stress. Because I have been so busy, it has taken my mind away from the situation. Three year of working inside univeristy and out has took its toll. However, I love being creative and with finishing univeristy I am going to solely focus on searching, networking and building my design career. The future is very exciting.
