EVALUATION - Dialogue

It was a great experience being a part of the Dialogue exhibition as it allowed for the opportunity to display my work to a wider audience, which meant that my design wasn't just restricted to it's usual environment. This then allowed for exposure and increased professional experience, which led to me gaining feedback from individuals outside of the course.

It was great to see how the prints had been combined, seeing how effectively two designs had been paired together to create one outcome. I was extremely proud of Eve and Nathan and all the hard work that they had put into the exhibition. It made me much more aware that I should be trying to find more opportunities like this one where I am able to get my designs out into the real world.

Although this brief was a quick turn around, I am pleased with how my design came out. For this brief, I was able to work with a subject matter that was relatable to my own current thoughts and interests, working with a humorous tone. This made the whole project a more personal experience, allowing me to reflect real life situations and people, whilst offering a memorable space for the chosen quote.

If I were to do it again however, I would have liked to have experimented more with hand written type and I would have developed it further, exploring new visuals. A lot of research was undertaken into designs that feature the maker’s own handwriting, and I am aware that my own skills aren’t quite there yet. However, it is something I want to keep practicing and incorporating into my work. I am still learning in this area, and I therefore want to build upon this in order to produce exciting and contemporary visuals that will work alongside my illustration.
