I come away proud of what I have achieved not just in this module but in the last three years. I've worked myself into the ground, and at times pushed myself physically and mentally to limits I didn't know I had. I know I work hard and get things done, and I am organised but that has been challenged by the amount of stress and strain I have put myself under for this module. To say I have been tested in every area is correct. However, I have been in control the whole time so discipline and rules have evidently been a strong factor within my approach. <br /><br />Looking back at past evaluations I have always questioned my decision making and experimention involving the actual design process and the format a piece takes. In the past I have said I would like to experiment more with typography and layout, which I see now as the core of my practice. I feel this module that I have enabled myself to do that, as well as factor in new skills that I thought would help me beyond the course and in industry.<br /><br />The quality and depth of my work I think has been replicated in this module as I set a large benchmark in the last one. I think what makes this body of work much more significant is the attention to detail and the introduction of print processes and stock choice. I was all too happy to use what was in the digital print facility in the last module but this time i have taken a much more industrialised view and designed with stock choice in mind and in some cases as a strong factor in the communication of the work (Anna Swingland identity). I pointed out in my first evaluation of the year that I needed to research into stock and I felt I did that during this brief.<br /><br />My blog once again has been consistently strong and has enabled me to plan accordingly and shows a clear development of where my work has taken me. During the whole three years I have always put emphasis on how important it is to my practice.<br /><br />I still know there are weaknesses in my work, and at times I felt that through taking so much work on, I felt like I couldn't sit back and reflect on my development as much as I wanted. I did, however, write evaluations throughout the year at key points. Perhaps the level of finish and attention to detail has been lost at times at the expense of me putting aside time to think before moving forward. The pace in which I have worked at has been consistent but I still think my final execution can be improved in some areas, when compared to some of my peers. <br /><br />I have really enjoyed working as part of a collaboration and on live briefs as they are the ones that test me. I would not have been happy to do a few competition briefs or all self initiated briefs because of the kind of work I see myself doing beyond the course. I wanted to design for subject matters I knew nothing about because that is what half the job of a graphic designer entails. The collaborative practice saw me take a leadership role which I believe I performed well in. Liaising with clients and setting up meetings was something I felt comfortable with. I also enjoyed the art direction side to the collaboration as the other group members had ideas that we could all mould into something none of us would have thought of (A classic example was doing the type installation for the year book). As individuals we would have never done that.<br /><br />I have digressed enough here, and I feel this evaluation could go on for too long so I will now bullet point things I have learnt during the module.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Collaboration</span><br />- I can finally see why collaboration can only be a good thing - more ideas, more development = more arguments but it also makes for a better outcome. At the start we all didn't want to give an inch because we were possesive about our ideas. In the end we rallied and made the right decisions.<br /><br />- It's frustrating when people don't get your ideas but if the group members didn't the client would not either.<br /><br />- Collaborations can involve a mini crit regularly. - we had a massive crit for the profile spreads which epitomised our approach.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Live Work and working with clients</span><br />- Having my first taste of clients has given me encouragement but has also brought out qualities I didn't know I had. I can be very persuasive in my approach, and sometimes get annoyed but also talk through ideas sensibly to convince the client.<br /><br />- Clients are generally a nightmare. I had evaluated earlier in the year about how much clients frustrate me, but the experiences I had were all valuable. Here is a post evaluating what I found with some of my clients. <a href="http://a-townend0811fmp.blogspot.com/2011/05/i-really-dont-have-super-powers.html">blog post on clients</a><br /><br />- Working and liaising with printers was an experience. Obviously every printer has their own requirements for artwork so getting in touch with them was really important. You really can't design in a bubble and expect the results. Seeing the process and the finals hot off the press was really rewarding.<br /><br /><br /><br />I think the lessons I have learned from this module have put me in a good position to progress. I have won competitions, worked in collaboration with talented people and I have worked on some real projects for clients that were both very controlling and others that allowed me to express my opinions. All that, and I have stayed true to my design practice and rationale, which has evolved but the core of it has remained in place since the beginning on the FMP.Adam Townendhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17739309332646555268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752546312306931592.post-7790448018632396942011-06-02T13:33:00.001+01:002011-06-02T13:34:54.950+01:00Flatland BriefThis is the brief for the Flatland project.

So I embossed the design onto this card to help differentiate between the things Anna does. I felt that the stock was dissimilar enough so the print techniques would help. I found that the deboss actually looked a lot better than the emboss so I flipped the car over and photographed the opposite side and flipped the image so it could go in my portfolio and no-one would tell the difference.<div> <div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 234px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgejeLvgdR28iF6w4LNtu_YpdyNMrInE-uSAxPckpvo_X5bjPRjpoITLRvdyms2JRYDa-bA_-LNYcHHkV4SyEXtIaaHeLdU8zHbRZ6Bwuo_xdi2mq1zIEbY0HNfM7INpsmu8W38_yGYUiSZ/s320/annapostcardblog1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613532454061220514" /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 230px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieG75ebKumzIMwdXxLb_Q743WKTvqt-aYKGPxmWPSyEqAh8TUqfjXsK9Uar_UK_T5-27rbMre3erhQ7Pt27rEdmDZ800lO4MwIZgpMWQejseka1jt5k8zqM1lTmJDW6ZpOG-1LF9_DeMbp/s320/annapostcardblog.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613568211378019282" /></div><div>Full mock up</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div> </div></div></div>Adam Townendhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17739309332646555268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752546312306931592.post-72185810793689474582011-06-01T10:23:00.001+01:002011-06-02T14:33:36.543+01:00Charlotte Taylor - Idents<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSVXpf0fwDf37oFeV03wyz0RTEgGU2VVdB_vTgFc6i2A47rHWtikUt9jFOTEzQwDphLfkrtNzfFfl27PZehpC2_aQCZWWrLKXk-S7KOEdsy0Mqnt25sQuY1RJTgHAVQRhHDuPIgiy9Euad/s1600/ctidents.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 226px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSVXpf0fwDf37oFeV03wyz0RTEgGU2VVdB_vTgFc6i2A47rHWtikUt9jFOTEzQwDphLfkrtNzfFfl27PZehpC2_aQCZWWrLKXk-S7KOEdsy0Mqnt25sQuY1RJTgHAVQRhHDuPIgiy9Euad/s320/ctidents.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613613606926477794" /></a>This storyboard shows some sample screens that explain the idea I had to produce a range of idents using Charlottes work.

I feel like I have everything in hand, unless something goes drastically wrong. My action plans have helped me pin point where I should be and what I have left to do. I still have quite a lot of PPD to do but the design practice work is failing into place well.<br /><br />You can't help but look at what everyone else is doing, and the crit helped me get a feel for what is going on and what levels others are working too. It has inspired me to work that little bit harder because I want to achieve the best possible outcome, but I don't want to throw together extra ranges that I didn't plan for at the start of the brief, because it may not be appropriate and the level of finish could be not up to standard.<br /><br />I would still like to expand some of the deliverables for some of the briefs but these will not be a part of the design practice boards as they are already designed and properly photographed. I will continue to work hard as ever, but I won't be looking over my shoulder as others to cram in extra work. I don't want to pad out any briefs, if it doesn't feel appropriate.Adam Townendhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17739309332646555268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752546312306931592.post-70577892971855101892011-05-30T10:49:00.004+01:002011-06-01T12:51:37.279+01:00Store PromotionTo expand on the range of deliverables for this brief, I felt it was necessary to produce store window promotion for the Leeds United superstore. The superstore is located at the stadium and is the only place you can buy Leeds United official merchandise. The footfall on matchdays is massive and the passing traffic comes straight from the M621.<br /><br />I have mocked up both the front of the store and the road side. At this stage it was a case of keeping with the design direction of the book and correctly positioning the graphics to fit the displays.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyj2LmjBWPXxy0JCRJieGV03LTrPpt3qC9E9XD19mFwezI7GOQz7yctVrglxQz2YQNq1jrjpnAWmUxDK4NyeAgt2iHps4pIyOAmsWfhG2Roew3mxg8Bhbhb6dASLBVZuqwtDimol4w-D5b/s1600/IMG_2456.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 211px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyj2LmjBWPXxy0JCRJieGV03LTrPpt3qC9E9XD19mFwezI7GOQz7yctVrglxQz2YQNq1jrjpnAWmUxDK4NyeAgt2iHps4pIyOAmsWfhG2Roew3mxg8Bhbhb6dASLBVZuqwtDimol4w-D5b/s320/IMG_2456.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612444972240846594" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFnbPbTaa7KDTX5iLxjrGyats2nHXC2lk21m8ZVEYm8ZwVl4s6piFY-RyuUBMP8ckgAe-l8xGgQNybz1w46yAO1WJNafGRh9D7r9DHbJyzsietNjKvAR2qNTSXq3-MzLnEZBQAzdP4-4W5/s1600/IMG_2458.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 215px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFnbPbTaa7KDTX5iLxjrGyats2nHXC2lk21m8ZVEYm8ZwVl4s6piFY-RyuUBMP8ckgAe-l8xGgQNybz1w46yAO1WJNafGRh9D7r9DHbJyzsietNjKvAR2qNTSXq3-MzLnEZBQAzdP4-4W5/s320/IMG_2458.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612444976119979266" border="0" /></a>Adam Townendhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17739309332646555268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752546312306931592.post-45308162007556674222011-05-30T10:32:00.005+01:002011-06-01T12:51:37.280+01:00Context shots<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLeE9frr2a2Nd6cCT8pQbQfm9tP0BQGGsy0g5r-1FSIVRETO34IGGIFZT5-KFVYIh6_NjOztFTfQIQKd2pae7w4MnPSJHMLNQOpGnvK9nHRb6oNPe122C4NgirsnqHUeU-3XFYUKaFDmhB/s1600/IMG_2454.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 230px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLeE9frr2a2Nd6cCT8pQbQfm9tP0BQGGsy0g5r-1FSIVRETO34IGGIFZT5-KFVYIh6_NjOztFTfQIQKd2pae7w4MnPSJHMLNQOpGnvK9nHRb6oNPe122C4NgirsnqHUeU-3XFYUKaFDmhB/s320/IMG_2454.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612440360433600706" border="0" /></a>A lot of my work for this module with the exception of Flatland and the Giant Killer publication doesn't require context shots.

Got the proof back off Duffield and I expected it to be a bit better for some reason. I thought it was going to be a proper mock up, but to no avail. We checked the images which were all up to scratch, and for all but one little mistake the book was sorted. Bit of hairy moment when we thought we might have to pay for it, but Clive accepted a new file at no extra cost.<br /><br />Dan sorted out Clive with the new file and all was well.<br /><br />These images were also taken by Dan.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRC3fYYo-eri8izFotQzN_s8a7D99Pp2J5TAOhCbTpnZvSGCgofyEgnO3W63Fw_kyseBlfjHqaLeqJ04zxL4kcGrmyNmgpryWu8nTjH3hXvFX2Jh1KB3dda1rRfy1_mB0qVyBbKYsifM6E/s1600/IMG_2289.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRC3fYYo-eri8izFotQzN_s8a7D99Pp2J5TAOhCbTpnZvSGCgofyEgnO3W63Fw_kyseBlfjHqaLeqJ04zxL4kcGrmyNmgpryWu8nTjH3hXvFX2Jh1KB3dda1rRfy1_mB0qVyBbKYsifM6E/s320/IMG_2289.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612254316340170242" border="0" /></a>Adam Townendhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17739309332646555268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752546312306931592.post-17494950055334684862011-05-26T17:13:00.003+01:002011-06-01T12:51:37.282+01:00Leeds book packaging<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjIPPYXqz1CWD9dj0-_Xv6TyVKvrWC9gcTNqTqM7CLLxMjhRNM17-usNPOELVJFjvJoxoMsyC-QS76T68YAdNJChal8DlzE9EKEf8Ulpie6EZHHCRbpoY1khZemHTj9a1f3PBsLOaVtv7Z/s1600/DSCF3013.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjIPPYXqz1CWD9dj0-_Xv6TyVKvrWC9gcTNqTqM7CLLxMjhRNM17-usNPOELVJFjvJoxoMsyC-QS76T68YAdNJChal8DlzE9EKEf8Ulpie6EZHHCRbpoY1khZemHTj9a1f3PBsLOaVtv7Z/s320/DSCF3013.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611059141931085330" /></a>I finally decided on this for the Leeds book packaging.

I didn't have time to considered stock or finish because I had already ran way over my budget anyway. So i printed them on an uncoated card stock. They look real good. These will have a hole punch and will be threaded and stuck to the poster wraps.<div><br /><div><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 226px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikTDobWkeC-FBe1sB8Z5ofXExsc5nEkOSJ6tXyRsv9fk6O3AJxBWWcKWERnF9tEA_tuMj60zvcscJQxz8s1_1AQsyAKdfv0KH87HVvysH3VTAS1Uj4VMXFcAd-ySYsHY-yyoxhZ-HzgDn2/s320/decadestagsfront.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611050602106397570" /></div><div><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 226px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZGHsZEK_k4sIV4P4KvSLQNL4iC40_b4XXx7aKWnw01alVdQUfNj2Nvtj81fawCug4wFUZMbk01psgYDbBBbo_lZq5j_LMhw4U3Mf7UuwTpAtd56qy0fjJMk3YMq4cwLCGxl7MEK_M-Bat/s320/decadestagsback.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611050600281700082" /></div></div>Adam Townendhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17739309332646555268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752546312306931592.post-20293515314933819562011-05-25T12:04:00.002+01:002011-05-25T12:06:17.178+01:00Final Action planI believe this is effectively, what I have left to do.

The module has changed my perspective on a lot of things like<div><br /></div><div>- talking to printers and clients</div><div>- working within a team</div><div>- preparing artwork for print</div><div>- the need to check and re-check proofs</div><div>- take into account budgets</div><div>- how much client power can influence a project</div><div><br /></div><div>In terms of deadlines and workload, I could not have done any more than I have done. However, I feel I could have focused on getting the best results possible by exploring stock and print finishes much more. I have done this on some briefs, and I have looked at format, but I feel my work could have benefitted from properly exploring embossing, spot varnishes, and foils. The results I have had from the finishes I have tried have been not up to my expectations or my satisfactions. I envisage attempting to put this right to certain degree this week and next where I can take time to consider my options, now the bulk of my work is out of the way.</div><div><br /></div><div>Overall, I am happy with what I have achieved up to now but its at the expense of the quality of finish. </div>Adam Townendhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17739309332646555268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752546312306931592.post-57604238578968816762011-05-25T09:14:00.004+01:002011-06-01T13:22:38.888+01:00Pop up Shop opening<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzD_2lFOF_TRuPoplKSFFe8Jb_MuiX05Zcv6hayINV2fM1tWFiJvMMiH8iaYR4EWaFFbSZIDwXWtdGSp3Tzl9f_-B9QmF9Tt4v6gS5PI2JRFb161V-W7FsDBzW60pdy3dZpNxc9g0oCzKy/s1600/DSCF3005.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzD_2lFOF_TRuPoplKSFFe8Jb_MuiX05Zcv6hayINV2fM1tWFiJvMMiH8iaYR4EWaFFbSZIDwXWtdGSp3Tzl9f_-B9QmF9Tt4v6gS5PI2JRFb161V-W7FsDBzW60pdy3dZpNxc9g0oCzKy/s320/DSCF3005.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5610566041143480162" /></a>I took some time away from the studio to set up my prints for the pop up shop.

Amendments have been coming back and forth via email but these were text amends. The map that was supplied was pretty poor so I had to redo the text as it was way too small for the size of the postcard. <div><br /></div><div>These should be sent to print on Tuesday.</div><div><br /></div>Adam Townendhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17739309332646555268noreply@blogger.com0
