CodeBreaker.

What skills have you developed through this brief and how effectively do you think you have applied them?

I have learnt the skill of collaborating with Eddie. Can be frustrating as we are both very laid back people but this meant when it came down to crunch time we had to smash it and I think we surprised even ourselves.
I think I developed conceptual design as we spent ages trying to think of a design, which had a meaning and purpose towards the exhibition.


What approaches to/methods of design production have you developed and how have they informed your design development process?

Like I said we did our reading about the exhibition to inform ourselves about Alan Turing’s work. This helps to inform our design and create a professional identity and collateral of this event.


3. What strengths can you identify in your work and how have/will you capitalise on these?

My strengths within the brief were design and also communication with my collab partner Eddie. We help plenty of meetings and discussed where we were up to and what needs to be done. I felt like the products I designed were visually attractive and to the standard that is needed for a real event.


What weaknesses can you identify in your work and how will you address these in the future?


Time management. We started this brief early but hit a bit of a wall with the concept which made us take a break from the brief. This was not very professional of us, although I think it did help with the overall design of the brief.

What skills have you developed through this brief and how effectively do you think you have applied them?

I have learnt the skill of working very closely with a client. The constant decision changes and little tweaks at points had me going crazy. But to be honest I did enjoy this brief. Steph is a very hard working individual and I was happy to help with other little project she wanted to make herself for the end of year show. I helped with teaching her InDesign and showing her to bind books. I could of just done it for her but she loved learning these skills and I found it refreshing that she was so passionate about her work and didn’t just take me for advantage and just get me to make everything.

What approaches to/methods of design production have you developed and how have they informed your design development process?

My approach for design was more of that of a teacher. I ended up showing Steph a range of new skills and software knowledge. Also been able to properly teach some and solve there problems and which them take note to your instructions was rewarding. She was a good person to work with and also knew a lot about design and how things should look so my designs had to look very professional, as she is someone who knows what they are talking about.


3. What strengths can you identify in your work and how have/will you capitalise on these?

My strengths in this brief was persistence. I designed about 100 rose symbols trying to find the right one. I am not a fan of making pretty flowers but I did it and despite not using them I’m glad I showed myself I could do it.


What weaknesses can you identify in your work and how will you address these in the future?


Weaknesses was getting stuff printed. I should really of done more test prints and got this brief done a bit earlier.
