What have I enjoyed most, or the least, and why?
I think the most enjoyable part of this section, for me, was the final task, the freedom to design a pamphlet in the layout I wished, with content that I chose myself was quite a liberating task, and coincidently I think is also my most successful work in this section, form a design perspective.
Have the exercises helped me to think about things in new ways or try out new ways of working? What have they been and how has your viewpoint changed?
Most definitely! I think the penultimate task, the Altered Pamphlet definitely forced me to think and work in a way that is something a little bit outside my comfort zone. But one that I enjoyed, and think achieved a good degree of success with. As a result I would feel much more comfortable in working in a similar fashion in the future, and to good effect. It has definitely broadened my thinking in terms of physical ways to approach a brief.
What area(s) would you like to develop further?
I still feel that my contextual research is probably lacking some depth, and maybe just skims the surface of what I could be looking at. So this is definitely something to consider and focus on when progressing through the course and into the next phase.
