Extended Practice - Evaluation

This year in extended practice I have learnt a lot. I have completed eleven separate briefs that have allowed me to gain professional experience ready for the industry ahead. PPP as a module has effected the briefs which I have decided to do. I realised through the placements that I have done that focussing on one area of design can be good as it can make you extremely appropriate for certain jobs, however I have tried to demonstrate my ability to work in all areas I have tried to show that I can make websites, Design for web, design for print, animate and I ask willing to try and perfect new things. I believe that from visiting studios like Maraid this comes across as having a strong passion for design and a keen eye for detail. From the briefs that I have completed I have learnt many new skills from animating in after effects to screen printing gradients I have thoroughly enjoyed this year of work and the outcomes have provided me with a diverse portfolio. Creative Networks was counted as two of the eleven completed briefs, one brief was the execution of three events where I worked collaboratively with the group and the other brief was one were I lead the group to design an event for esteemed Graphic Designer Jonathan Barnbrook. One of the collaborative briefs done with the group was done poorly a lack of organisation lead the group to having no printed posters for the event. This mistake taught us as a group that communication is paramount. Other live briefs showed that working with clients can be difficult, Irax as a company was great to work for however getting paid and dealing with changes to designs constantly taught me that non design professionals struggle to understand just how much work goes into each design which can be frustrating however this is the sort of experience needed to do well in the Graphic Design industry.
