Yesterday was the deadline for the first unit of vis-com- text and image. After completing several mini-projects, the outcomes of these were compiled in a book I designed in quark and made using one of the techniques I learned in the book-binding workshop. I was pleased with the book I made, after some massively frustrating setbacks (tearing the front cover as I was cutting it out with my scalpel, realising my entire layout needed redesigning to avoid the pages being obstructed by the binding a day before the deadline and misplacing my sketchbook on deadline day) whilst putting it together, it eventually looked exactly as I envisaged it would.
Despite finishing this unit there is no time to slow my working pace, We have been given our new brief, to design one poster adorning a double-decker bus and another for a bus shelter to persuade 19-35 year olds to become a member of the charity amnesty international. I like the prospect of this task and think it has the potential to be a really enaging and challenging brief. However, aside from jotting down a few of my initial ideas I'm not going to get stuck into it straight away due to the fact I have two other tasks going on- an essay and a live brief and I'd prefer to get these out of the way so I can really focus on it.
