PROJECTS

I have talked previously about my group work and I could not omit talking about my individual work that I had for this second term.

Same as the group work, the individual work is linked to OUT Projects and consists in creating moodboards, posters, catalogues, tote bags designs and web pages for a hyphotetical personal exhibition based on a folktale of choice.

We were given requirements in order to create each design, which limited our freedom. And this is not, by all means, a bad thing. I feel that when I have too much freedom in terms of realising a design, I have no idea where to start, but when I have restrictions, I can come up with ideas way more quickly.

Since the folktale I have chosen has a dark storyline, I wanted my designs to have a certain mysterious atmosphere to them and the moodboard helped me get a sense of how I might approach it.

I found creating the web page the most challenging task for me since my coding skills are -still- not that great. Therefore, I am not quite satisfied with the result and it could -obviously- be improved. However, that does not mean I dislike coding. On the contrary, I enjoy it and for sure I will get better at it in the future.

By working on this project I got the chance to understand better what should be considered while making a campaign and how each element must be linked to one another in order to create something consistent.

My exhibition’s tagline is ‘Be the change!’ and I think it can also apply to me.
