• I think my work was satisfactory. I think my practical work would have been better
if I managed to have more than one photoshoot. I found it difficult to get a
daylight photoshoot because I work nights when I am not at school so by the time
I have rested after work it is sun set.This made it difficult to get the photos that I
envisioned.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/ecangru-220209064523/75/Evaluation-16-2048.jpg)

- 1. THE GRID YEAR 2PRODUCTION WORK Millie Southall
- 2.
- 3. What was thetheme of your project and what attracted you to it? • The theme of my project was illusion. I wanted to take on illusion as a theme as I feel like there are a lot of different ways you can go about it.The theme of illusion could be linked to lots of other themes we were given such as time. I also like how literal you can be with illusion.Visual illusions are fun to look at and fun to create and I liked the idea of creating a visual illusion.
- 4. What research didyou undertake and how did it help develop your project? • In my team, we started off by researching our target demographic. Our target audience we were given was 16–25-year-olds. We started by researching what social medias they use and what people this age like to do in their free time and what sort of things they enjoy.We found out teens enjoy crystals and healing sort of things, so we decided to go down the theme of 60s trippy psychedelic illusions.
- 5. How did youdevelop and improve your ideas throughout the project? • At the start of my project we decided to go with visual illusions in the more generic was as in moving grids and eyes. As we moved onto our own personal part of the project I moved more towards the themes of illusion and nature. I decided to make collage art of natural places and turn everything into an illusion.The idea was, if you see a natural place there is much more than meets the eye. So, I edited natural places and used adobe aero to make them like augmented reality.
- 6. What was theoutcome of the project/task? • I made a collection of collage art and put them all on some sort of website format, and made a map of York as to where each picture is. It was meant to be some kind of like a treasure hunt. I ended up not using the map because I found it too difficult to create something that looked good I then used adobe aero to separate the layers so you can use the camera and move between the layers.
- 7.
- 8. How did youfeel about the project before you started? • Before the project started, I was unsure about the project. I didn’t quite understand the brief and the whole teamwork and the independent work aspect. I was also unsure on what we were supposed to make.
- 9. What do youthink about your project development and how did it help you to refine your idea? • I think my project developed well.The further I researched into time and illusion the more of an idea as to what I wanted to do, the better of an idea I got. I originally was going to go more along the lines of the stereotypical illusion, like grids and neon green. But as I researched illusion, I discovered it isn’t just images, it can be the illusion of something. So my project is like everything is an illusion. I got an ordinary photo of something in town like outside the minster and edited it to be something completely different.
- 10. Did you collaborateon your project or engage contributors, etc? • I collaborated on my project with the team I was given. For the first half of my project I was in a team and we researched the project as a group. I enjoyed doing collaborative work however at times it was difficult because all the work fell on me on occasions, for example the research PowerPoint.
- 11. How did youfeel when the project was completed and why? • I felt happy with the work I created. I enjoy making print and doing graphic design so doing the project was a lot of fun to me. I felt unsure a lot of this project so I am happy it is over and we get to start with our FMP’s because I can incorporate some of the skills I learned on this project into the design parts of my FMP.
- 12.
- 13. What were thegood points about the project/task and what did you learn from them? • I liked working with a group. It is a very different dynamic than working independently and I enjoyed getting to experience this and collaborate with others. • I enjoyed doing the independent work because I had free reign of what I was doing and didn’t have to take in someone else's ideas on my vision. • I learned how to use a new Adobe Software that will help me with future projects (Adobe Aero)
- 14. What challenges didyou face and how did you respond to them?Try and think of at least 3... It was difficult to draw using mouse and keyboard. I then started using a drawing tablet and purchased a drawing tablet so I could also work from home. Another challenge was the groupwork. Me and one other team member did the majority of the work and it was difficult to do since other groups had more contributing members than us. Understanding the project was also a challenge. Once I understood more I began to work better but it was difficult.
- 15. What were thenegative points about the experience, and what could you have done to improve them? • I didn't understand the project too much so I wasn’t sure what the actual task was until we got further into the project. I think taking more time and looking at the brief closer might have helped me understand what the project was. • It was slightly difficult to work in a group because not everyone did equal amounts of work which led everyone to have different levels of responsibility over a group project.
- 16. How would yourate the final piece? [think along the lines of poor, satisfactory, good or excellent...justify your rating] • I think my work was satisfactory. I think my practical work would have been better if I managed to have more than one photoshoot. I found it difficult to get a daylight photoshoot because I work nights when I am not at school so by the time I have rested after work it is sun set.This made it difficult to get the photos that I envisioned.
- 17. What is youropinion of your final piece?What elements do you think are successful and why? • I think my final piece is okay. I could have done better but I worked with the images I had and I think I did a good job. I think if we had a longer production time I could have taken some more photos in multiple locations.
- 18. How well didyour project apply the characteristics and conventions of the medium you worked in? • I think the project fit the characteristics and conventions of graphic design. I believe illusion and graphic design fit together hand in hand because illusion is a very visual thing so working on making illusions with design was good.
- 19.
- 20. In what wayswas the overall project a success? • The project was a success overall because I was able to develop my skills in graphic design. I learned how to use Adobe aero, and I also learned how to use a graphics tablet better. I enjoyed drawing off a graphics tablet more than using a mouse.
- 21. What elements didnot go well and why? • I was unable to get a good photoshoot because of my weekend hours at work. Due to the fact I work nights over the weekend, I sleep during the day so by the time I wake up the sun is already setting.This could be changed next time if I take a set day off work or do the photoshoots on my definite days off.
- 22. How did yourskills develop during the portfolio? [remember, skills aren't just technical, remember things like organisation, time management, communication, etc as well] • The skills I developed were mainly technical during this task. I developed skills in graphic design as most of my previous projects have all been video. I developed skills in softwares like photoshop, illustrator and aero. I also got a graphics tablet to help.
- 23. What would youdo differently in the future and why? • In the future I will develop my time management. Over the course of this project I have started to plan things by the day. I have a diary and now keep trach of everything that needs doing by when and will schedule shoots.
- 24.
- 25. If you weremaking a similar project in the future, what would you do differently? • I would spend more time reading through the brief and maybe take some notes and try and fully understand what I am supposed to be doing in the project is. I think I would try and engage the group more and take less of a leadership role, so it wasn’t so dependent on my ideas, and it was more collaborative.
- 26. How could youdevelop your skills for future projects? Please identify the appropriate resources and courses. For example, webpages, tutorials, books, short courses and qualifications. • I will use moreYouTube tutorials on the software's I am using. I enjoyed using adobe aero and I would like to learn more adobe software to expand my knowledge and skillset.
- 27. What personal attributescould you develop to ensure you are working at a professional level? • I could work on my time management. I managed to complete everything to a schedule but I did most of it closer to the end of the project. I think I need to spread out the work throughout the weeks I have and then it will make it easier to complete the project.
