Monotype Evaluation
This brief pushed my idea of typography and
my skills in typographic design. I think that I was steered towards this brief
due to my own personal interests; I don’t feel that the brief wasn’t suitable
for me but I think that it may not have been the best. I struggled with the
idea of only using type to create a film poster as I think that films are image
based they may not convert well to type only solutions.
I did a lot of digital development
concentrating on the posters and how I could make them interesting; I wanted to
do them justice. It showed me that I wasn’t as confident with designing film
posters and that it may not be by strongest area of design.
However once I had come up with the final
outcomes of the three posters I found it easy to apply them to a range of
mediums that I think where effective and enhanced the brief a lot. This showed me by ability to apply a design
to a range of outcomes, and I thought more into what appropriate deliverables
could be. I also felt that I had done this brief in quite a small space of time
at the end and I was happy that I had managed to get the brief done in time for
submitting it to D&AD as I had started my full time placement on the same
week.
Although this process of working and then
doing this was tiring I think it pushed my abilities and I would of in future
had this brief finished before I had started working on placement.
