OUGD603 - YCN BEAR - Final Submission & Evaluation

Today I finally submitted my finished BEAR brief. Overall, I'm really pleased with the outcome of this brief as I enjoyed creating all of the illustration. I think it really makes a difference to the quality of your work when you really enjoy doing something. However, I do feel that in hindsight I could have worked more on coming up with a unique concept as having seen other entries a lot of people seem to have used the ocean and ocean life as a basis for their cards. I tried to push it further by offering a partnership and a game idea. Although I am confident in my visuals that I have created I'm worried my concept will fall flat.  

See below for a copy of my final presentation boards. 






I think that in particular the cards came out really well. The illustration style is realistic yet appeals to children. Also the information provided is concise but informative appealing to children aged 4-9.



Strengths & What I liked

I think that my illustration in this project really shone through, creating friendly, approachable designs for children. I really enjoyed this new target audience of designing for children, meaning I could make every element of the design as playful as possible.


Weaknesses & What I didn’t like

I do feel that in hindsight I could have worked more on coming up with a unique concept as having seen other entries a lot of people seem to have used the ocean and ocean life as a basis for their cards.


Time Management

I handled my time really well during this brief I think mainly because I enjoyed doing it. I managed to go above and beyond the deliverables of the brief, providing a website design and game idea as well as the 3 cards that they had asked for.


Final Outcome

Overall, I’m really pleased with the outcome of this brief as I enjoyed creating all of the illustrations. I think it really makes a difference to the quality of your work when you really enjoy doing something. I tried to push the brief further by offering a partnership and a game idea. I hope that the online game will get more engagement for the children, making them feel part of the BEAR academy.
