Personal Feedback
This brief has been a up and down journey for me and most probably to most stressed I have been since my time on the course. I feel that learning from scratch about print processes and colour and then making a publication about it all I found very difficult. The amount of research I had to look into was massive but I have defiantly benefitted from it all. If I could go back and start again I think I would change everything. I'm not saying I am not happy with my final outcomes but I would have loved to make my books bigger and not spent so much time researching as this effected my design layout. I had to just come up with a layout and stick to it. I would defiantly make my paragraphs smaller and I would have loved to have more white space as my books are very cramped.
What do I do now? I leave the books and start thinking about packaging, that and embossing. I want to make my front covers on different stocks too. Before my hand in I feel I need to bulk out my research as I haven't blogged much on secondary research etc.
