Evaluation

I feel through this project I have selected research, which is appropriate to my brief. This has informed my design decisions and development. I felt looking at indent’s for the specific channel (MTV) helped me see what the targeted audience would appeal to. If I was to do this project again I would like to look more into stop frame animation to create a hand rendered look, which would tie in with my concept using the hand rendered imagery and sequences. This could give off a more authentic feel. I also feel that maybe looking more at pace would of helped me as I tended to edit to music, breaking existing title sequences might of given me ideas about pace and transitions which will of enhanced the final product.

I felt my Investigation and experimentation could have been more present on my blog and documented more. I found experimenting with my hand rendered type gave me ideas for storyboards and sequences. I felt that my quick scruffy design ideas and storyboards were he most effective for idea generations, as I tend to lose interest in something when I take a large amount of time on it. If I was to do this again I would take more time creating more storyboards that were a bit more refined and clear, this would help me make more refined decisions about composition and movement.

Through this module I felt I have developed a number practical skills such as time management and preparation. I found this to be a massive help especially when dealing with numerous amounts of file and design sheet. I also felt I have improved my practical skills in software, I have improved my finishing skills in illustrator and also learn't how to use completely new software After effects which has led me into a new way or working.

Documenting my work through this module has been my weak point I feel, not showing everything I did as test, or experiments. If I were to do this again I would try and document everything possible on my blog. This way I can easily go through my ideas and design practice, which will give me ideas for the future.

I felt that my final product met the brief; I felt that keeping the transitions and sequences simple made for a more effective motion graphic, hopefully keeping the audience engaged. If I was to do this again I would like to try and create more complex movements and transitions which would be possible thanks to my development of practical skills.

Things I will do differently next time.

1.Keep my work systematically saved so it would be easier to deal with at the final point of design.

2.Experiment more and document it through my blog.

3.Experiment more with colour .

4.Use imagery rather than just typography.

5.Use a varied mix of media.
