This unit has been a long, hard but also very enjoyable one. I have loved the creative freedom that has come along with this self led project and I feel that I have reached a really good level of both skill and confidence. Having the one week project at the beginning of this unit helped me to formulate my ideas and encouraged me to follow a path of personal interest. I think this is what really propelled me through this term as I was fully invested in the topic.
In terms of the learning outcomes, I feel that I did well to meet them. I have substantial amounts of primary and secondary research that has been refined and applied to my outcome in a visually interesting and exciting way. I showed a range of developments and experiments throughout this unit through spread designs and also sketches for my personal branding. I was well organised and managed my time to a good level without letting anything pile up. I also evaluated and reflected on my work continuously throughout the unit which helped me to refine my ideas.
I am really annoyed about the printing of my outcome. Due to the printers printing quite wonky and the colour quality being off. It has hindered my final outcome due to the page numbers being cut off at the bottom and misalignments. If this wasn't the case I would be a lot happier but me and Joseph spent 2 hours going through each page to try make them line up so there wasn't much more I could have done.
I am really proud of my outcome. It was a big project as a lot of the information was primary. Also the creation of such a big book and trying to find good quality images and also using my own images was a time consuming task. Binding my book in a lay-flat style pushed my abilities in this area as it was a completely self led idea that I was able to complete to a high standard through relevant research and help from Joseph in the print room. I am really thankful for all the tutors help, especially Rich, Emily and Jordy as they all pushed my ideas into a good direction and helped me continuously throughout. I am really happy to hand in my work and feel proud of what I have achieved.
One area that I could have developed or focused on a bit more was linking to a target audience a bit more. It could be seen as confusing who my book was directed towards. I tried to make this as clear as possible but I can see how it may have been lost. It was meant to be aimed at people who enjoy travelling, who have been to Hong Kong, who want to go to Hong Kong and people who live there. Other than this, I think I did well.
