EVALUATION- OUGD203

At the beginning of this brief, I was really excited to make my own brief, however, I didn't realise how difficult it would be.. 

There was so many different aspects I liked in the YCN and ISTD briefs, I found it difficult to focus and make a question..

When I came up with my title, I then found it hard to actually get into it.. whenever I found some kind of solution, I ended up at a dead end, and frustrated.. However, the crits were really helpful, and I got some really good feedback and advice on what I could look into more..

If I was able to go back and do the brief again, I think I would be more decisive and start designing earlier than I did.. I realised I was just writing a lot down, but not actually doing anything!

I would have also liked to do the embossing, however, when I did it in my experiments, it was very hit and miss if it worked.. so maybe look into more stock choices, to see if it would have worked better on them..

I think also, if I had been more organised, and not worrying about other things in my life, I would have been able to do more of a range, which is annoying, because when I got into designing the final pieces, I got into it.. 

Overall, I like how my cards turned out, I think they look very handmade and appealing.. I think some of the 'hidden words' could have been more hidden, but I still wanted them to be just noticed.

And also looking back, it slipped my mind, but I wanted to take photographs of the range as if it was a gift for someone on christmas..
