I have now started the wonderful journey that will be my degree. Since I have only just received this PDP project i might a well start by reflecting over the first project. The first project i received was the Visual Communication module with Phil Perry. This is a 5 weeks module that had 5 week projects. From my point of view i would have to be very strict with my time management to achieve all of my goals for the week. This will help me produce better quality work rather than it being rushed at the end of the week. The first project was a typography week. The idea being that our respective groups all to what was the same story line wrote 4 different times and broke them down into just dialogue. Then using type faces tell the story so it somehow makes sense. After first hearing the brief i knew this would be difficult. Mainly because i would have to type out all of the lettering myself.
I highlighted the dialogue that i need to use and started to pick out my fonts and where they would go. The process of actually drawing out these fonts took so long but as i started to get to grips with it the fonts look better. My final piece for this project was done after many experiments with font and different sizes.
On reflection this project was a good one to start university life. It showed me how much work actually should go into a project and that i shouldn't actually rely on a computer. The work itself i felt was a success except for one piece of random human error. The work did not get many bad points as part of the critique so overall i am very pleased.
