Papercahse

Evaluation:

This was the first brief which I carried out in Level 06.  Looking back I did spend quite a lot of time on this brief as I was experimenting with my illustration style and practicing free hand illustration while also using a Wacom tablet for the first time to create the final octopus illustrations which you can see applied to the greetings cards and notebook.

When I submitted the brief at Christmas, I submitted more outcomes, which didn’t look particularly good together as a set.  I also photographed the work in my living room with poor lighting, which really did not do the outcomes justice.  When photographing my other work for the yearbook I decided that I really needed to refine this project because it was letting my overall portfolio down.  I went on to package and apply branding to the pack of greetings cards.  I also photographed my work with a good camera and lighting hired out from the photography department.  After doing this I was so much more pleased with the final outcomes and felt that it was then good enough to put into my portfolio and finish off my design boards.
