Did you analyse/interpret the brief?
- To an extent yes, but I probably could've taken this further. This was a strange brief where we planned our own project and then had to give it to someone else - this led to some confusion and difficulty between briefs. I almost had to take the brief in my own direction rather than sticking to requirements etc.
Did you think about the contexts of the brief?
- Yes definitely - it was important to think about the content inside the guidebook and where abouts it would be sold. Shops such as Urban Outfitters were mentioned in the brief as potential places the book would be sold, which meant I had to stick to a certain aesthetic and style to suit these sort of settings.
Did you outline the problem?
- I think so, as the whole idea was to try and make indoor plants a cool and interesting thing for younger people who may not have much knowledge of the subject. I had to make sure the book was quirky and fun in order to engage the audience.
Was you research thorough and meaningful?
- My research definitely wasn't thorough as we had a certain time limit and things became quite rushed. The research that I did do I felt was beneficial to the project and helped spur my ideas along, but I would've like to research a bit deeper and more thoroughly if time had allowed.
Did you arrive at some ideas through research?
- Yes, researching into the topic gave me some ideas almost instantly - some successful, some not, but it helped kick-start my thought process and design work.
Did you generate more than 1 conceptual idea?
- Initially yes, I had a few potential routes I could take aesthetically, but I chose to develop one of these ideas further. I could have probably pushed another idea forward too in order to compare the two deeper into the process.
Did you generate multiple visual/creative solutions?
- I had multiple variations of my final design, with slight differences between them, but nothing too major. This is something I could work on in order to give me more choice towards the end of the process.
Did you develop several possible solutions?
- See above q.
Did you go through an iterative process of experimentation and improvement?
- Kind of, I could've experimented a lot more, but again I was pushed for time.
Did you propose a number of possible solutions as prototypes?
- No just one.
Did you develop your prototypes further?
- Yes, once I had printed my prototype it was clear what I needed to change before creating the final outcome.
Did you test and experiment with your production processes?
- Yes, a bit, but again pushed for time so was limited in the amount of experimentation I could do.
Did you leave enough time to ensure your final outcome was as good as it could be?
- I was happy with my final outcome, but if I had more time there were more things I would like to do with it to improve it.
