Major study evaluation hamza iqbal
ever since major study has started, i have been patiently waiting to turn my negotiated study experience around 10 fold and really show what i am capable of in regards to my design skills etc. Having a major fall back then had projected my motivation to do more than exceptionally well and now I can confidently say that i have made myself proud with the work i have produced. I initially started out brainstorming what kind of projects i can come up with. I set out to do a personal project, a competition project and a few mini projects i found online. It was never enough for me in relation to the quality of work i wanted to create. At the back of mind i have always knew i had one idea i can put on a piece of paper and perfectly orchestrate the designs for a final product. The problem was i didn’t know how to do it and where to start. I have always wanted to design a mini operating system integrated into an app where people can download on there phone and activate it with a single switch. After having many tutorials with both of my tutors, i bought them to the attention of possibly re designing apples or androids existing os which is :iOS and android lollipop. I have taken a very keen interest in the evolvement of these softwares design wise and how the user operates them. I have observed and experienced the growth from iOS 2 all the way up to iOS 10. This is one of the main reasons why i wanted to redesign the software, always thinking there are graphic elements i can change, evolve and design better. With my tutors help i narrowed down this idea to a os which is targeted towards a specific group of audience, an os for children. This was a perfect idea as everything i had in mind to accomplish with this project i could set out to do. My intelligent app came into play soon after. I was very interested in an idea like this because i knew it was of industry level and possible application to further develop and actually publish to the public. Now inevitably this was not a route i am pursuing as i am a designer and not a developer but being able to work on ideas that can have constructive effects on my audience brings me high motivation and satisfaction. Mia was at the time my largest project in depth of thought that went into this children's operating system app. Working through this project i went through many obstacles i shortly overcame with not knowing what softwares to use and how to present it as a final product. Animation was in my mind but after speaking with tutors, they gave the impression that its not always the animation and previewing that counts as a good project, its the thought process and development that has gone into it. shortly after another project i have always wanted to do came to my head and naturally being a car enthusiast i desired to incorporate all the design elements i possibly can. that includes videography, animation, ui for an app, posters and more. I thought MIA would take the spotlight but my AMG definitely shun through and then it came to me to use my main specialist areas in design and apply them to my projects. A few of them include: UX design, ui design, character design, cinematography/video/animation. completing these two projects have been my greatest design accomplishments and i can proudly say I’m ready with my portfolio to get out there and work my way up.id like to take the time to also thank my tutors James and Johnny for all the help they have given me. i came along way from negotiated study and wouldn’t have been possible without them both.
