My final outcome consists of a secrets tower as well as two A3 posters centred around peoples secrets. I started my final major project with
excitement and high hopes as I did a lot of research and experimentation with
artist and designer styles, however I did become a little overwhelmed halfway
through the project as I was so caught up on focusing on the obvious of my
project, however with a little break I was able to look at the bigger picture
and look at my project from a different view, which in turn gave me the idea of
the transition of transformation to secrets.
I believe my final major project outcome
was quite successful as although at the beginning my thoughts were not clear
due to the fact that the topic I picked, which was Transformation, was broad
and vague, I believe through the continuous experimentation and development it has helped me clear my mind and helped me work in the right direction, the guidance I received from my tutors and peers also helped as I was able to gather
my thoughts and finish everything by having successful final pieces. This is a skill that I
believe I have gained, as in the past I used to experiment and develop my work
however not nearly as much as I have done during this final major project, and
I believe that has helped a lot in having a successful final piece because I
was able to test out many different ideas and outcomes which led me to make the
final piece which I was most satisfied with.
I also believe that a contributing factor
to my final major project being successful is it’s different and unique nature,
because I went from focusing on transforming ones appearance to transforming
ones ability to let out a secret. The extensive research that I did on artists and designers such as Ralph Meatyard, Erik Jones and Tim Walker as well as the trips to museums and exhibitions such as the British Museum and Pick Me Up also helped greatly in starting me off and inspiring me with some of my own designs.
Also, during the overall final major project I would have to say another skill that I am happy about gaining is my computer skills (using Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator). It has improved greatly and will be very helpful for my future degree in Graphic Design, which I am very grateful for and excited about. My time management has also improved a lot due to the fast paced schedule that we worked by during the final major project which I am sure will be of great use in the future also.
As for doing something different? I would definitely have to say maybe do a final piece on transforming through make up. Although I am completely satisfied with my final piece, while I was experimenting with the skull candy face make up I was really intrigued into how far a person can truly change their appearance through make up and I could make a magazine of transformations that I have done, each possibly being inspired by a different festival such as the Day of the Dead. I believe that would be a fun idea to do however I still am very fond of my secrets topic so I would still continue the idea of transforming ones ability to let out a secret but then I would simply combine it with the idea of transforming someones appearance.
