The Designers Republic Evaluation
This workshop/ brief pushed my design
thinking and I think that it may have been a little too different for myself,
however I did really enjoy the preliminary task and I think that it had a
strong concept and I liked what I created in the day.
The second part, the task and presentation
of the workshop where a little less enjoyable, I struggled with thinking of a
task and then after doing the task I felt that I had not done the right kind of
activity and others had done some really good tasks that had converted into an
interesting presentation. I feel that I found this hard as I always try to
create some meaning and connection in all of my work and I was being asked to
do the opposite.
However in the presentation I did bring it
back to some meaning and I think that this was not entirely appropriate for the
brief as it made it un pointless in a way.
Moreover in this workshop I enjoyed the
presentation and gaining some feedback from an important industry professional
who was honest and not to critical meant that I felt encouraged. I had been
told that my presentation was too busy there was too much on the slide and I
can see that now I look back on it.
I am also slightly disappointed that for
the end I didn’t really have a physical outcome which others had done and they
had looked really good, but then again the task was meant to be pointless and
so having something from it defeats the purpose.
The workshop was over two days and I think
it really pushed the amount of work and thinking I had to do in this space of
time especially when it was a brand new brief. I think that this has pushed my
idea of timescales and the amount I can produce in a short space of time,
however I do feel that my best work if there is a lot required isn’t when the
time is so short, but this could also be due to the fact I wasn’t familiar with
the context of the brief.
