OUGD603 - SU Elections - Evaluation

Strengths & What I liked

I enjoyed being able to work with a client on this brief and getting really good constructive feedback for my designs. Being part of the student union has really helped me progress my communications skills between clients and also in getting files ready to print. I think that it was a fantastic thing to do in order to get some professional hands on experience.


Weaknesses & What I didn’t like

I’m not overly keen on poster design as a whole and often struggle with the scale of text. However I overcame this fear of posters and managed to create some successful designs.


Time Management

I did these designs alongside working on finalising my dissertation as well as working to a pretty short deadline before printing so I think considering this I managed to keep well organised in regards to time keeping.


Final Outcome

I am really happy with the final outcomes of this project. I feel like it does answer the call to action that the SU were looking for with bright and in your face designs. The designs themselves are not necessarily my usual style of design but I feel that they really encompass the theme and concept that the SU gave me so they are successful in that respect. The collaboration with Adam was really beneficial as it meant that I could complete more of the design while he provided me with illustrations. Again, having that feedback from people who I’d not really show my designs to was really encouraging.
