OUGD403 Studio Brief 2 Evaluation

Studio Brief 2


In this brief I have learnt new skills using Adobe Illustrator, I had not used the software before the start of this module so had to learn as I went along, although this meant i was slow with my designs my future work will be done faster as I now have the skills. 
I think that my final typeface conveys the word surprise well, I think simplifying the idea was a good idea as the message is now much more clear as there is not too much going on. 
Having an interim crit gave me feedback to push my designs further to see where I could take them. The feedback I received helped me to push the illustrative approach to my designs, it also helped my narrow down my ideas so i could start refining just a couple of designs. 
For this brief I started out by hand sketching ideas, this enabled me to quickly come up with a range of ideas, it also gave me more creative freedom as I didn't have the limits of computer software holding me back. 

With more time I would like to have put the Typeface into context, such as a type specimen or put it into a logo or heading. If I had used my time more effectively I would have had time to produce one. Next time I must be more organised in order to get all of the work completed to a higher standard.
