During the time of working on my AS graphics projects, I
realised that taking this course meant I had to endure a lot work and tight
deadlines. Deadlines that – in the end – would have me screaming.
The projects were fun, don’t get me wrong but they enquired
a certain amount of motivation and commitment that I couldn’t seem to find. I
know it was there, somewhere in me, but I couldn’t find it so I found it
difficult to keep on top of all the work and in the end it stressed me out.
I think the course has made me embrace my creative side and
has made me develop my illustrative and computing skills. I found it quite hard
to understand Adobe Illustrator at first but after a while, I got the hang of
it and managed to produce something worth showing.
I also lacked confidence in what I was doing. I looked
around me and I criticised myself for not being as good as the people around
me. I put pressure on myself and this made me question the path I was taking on
the course.
Some positives about my work would be that I think I showed
my development throughout my sketchbook and arranged work well on the mount
board to show this. Looking through my sketchbook, I realised that my illustrative
skills had progressed throughout the year. I managed to think creatively about
the target audience of my project and managed to make the final product look
eye catching so the audience would be drawn to it.
Next year for the A2 course, I definitely need to be more
motivated and more confident in the work that I’m doing and I think I need to
do a bit more work so I have more ideas to choose from.
