Now that I have complete both my typography and the Albert Einstein projects, I can now look back and see the progression with my work. I found that the typography sounded fun when I first heard about it but after panicking part way through the work. I felt that my first piece of typography was not as strong as it could be, after seeing my workshop groups work it made me worry.
After changing my first idea part way through I still kept working on the first idea as well as the new one. My second idea was a long the same path as the first one, trying to help people learning the alphabet as well as someone who has a disability. Taking the idea of font helping someone who could be deaf and blind will be learning the alphabet and how to use it in other areas.
After finishing both typography projects I feel that even though I changed my idea part way through and now have two pieces for my final project. I felt that I learnt from my work through the process of it all, I learnt that I should not just panic when I first think of an idea but spend more time brain storming to make the my final idea really strong.
For my second project which is to create a website and mobile device app for a specific target audience, which will need to explain “The Theory Of Relativity” and about Albert Einstein. I found this one more interesting and the project had more directions for ideas, not only did I have to think about a website for my certain target audience, but creating an idea for an app. After reading the brief ideas were instantly flowing towards children being the target audience, knowing that children like colour and simplistic things. I wanted to create a simple app and website with loads of colour and images.
After putting my ideas together I made more work for my self by not only creating the app on a mobile but for a iPad or tablet, I found that children currently seem to be using tablets and iPads for the educational and entertainment base. Bearing in mind that children are attracted by images I looked online at a website which Chris recommend in a workshop called https://thenounproject.com so most of the images on my work have been from this website but I can admit I could make them myself but just found that I wanted to spend more time on other areas that seem important. I know that I struggled with trying to make the website and app look very similar to each other but then in my last week in the workshop with Chris, I emailed him previously wanting to have some feedback but he gave me some in the workshop which made sense. I’m rather happy with my app and website final piece of work and my infographic I feel is my strongest piece of work because its simple but very effective.
After my second project I feel that I have come a long way with my progression with the softwares and ideas in general, but my project 1 and 2 are completely different and I can see how my idea and work has drastically improved.
