During this module I have been able to concentrate on more illustrative type briefs. This was a module I really wanted to do well in because of the subject matter. There was a good core of briefs and I enjoyed working on all of them. However, I feel as if I have not worked hard enough on this module. I have not done enough back up work to support my overall final pieces. This is my own fault as I don’t prioritise and I let this module slip up the radar.
Despite this, however I have been especially pleased with my final brief as well as the book fair brief. With the book fair brief I was able to concentrate on something that I am passionately interested in. It was a struggle at first because I couldn’t think of a thing to do but that was what was good about it. I had to think about the subject matter long and hard and in doing so I came up with several good ideas and one that was made concrete.
My final project was also something I am very interested in; books and editorial design. I feel that it had been some of my strongest work but it could have been improved more. I think I was to do it again then I would have spent more time on the illustrations and coming up with a possibility of idea’s for the actually book designs.
Overall I have enjoyed the module and I hope to do more image based modules in the future.
Final project for the Image Module. Editorial book design of five of my favourite novels. They all have a common theme of pure "oddness." I decided to collect these together in one handy collection, also know as "An Odd Collection."
These are the finished designs and I'm quite proud of the outcome. I could have spent more time on some of the illustrations but I've never been good with time or prioritising for that matter.
And here's the box they slot inside:
I missed not having any crits with this brief. In the end, I asked HJ for advice on the type as it's not my strong point but I think it turned out ok.
