General Comments
I liked how open-ended this brief was, and how it didn't immediately seem like a design-related problem, after a little research however it became clear what this brief was all about, introducing a new word to as many people as possible in a short space of time in a suitable context.
Successes
The chosen type of outcome is really relevant and was definitely the correct approach to take for this brief as well as the strategy behind the approach, and I put this down to the Design Thinking Workshop we hand, even though it was aimed at OUGD505. This is shown by the change in approach I took in the blog posts after that session compared to the two from before it.
I'm also pleased with the fact that the outcomes look quite contemporary, as this is starting to be something that's happening semi-consistently now, especially in this brief, the work for the Creative Advertising Student, my branding for PPP, and the Augmented Design brief in OUGD504.
Changes
Looking back, a lot of time was spent unnecessarily making numerous copies of the speech bubbles in numerous colours because I was too enthusiastic and didn't spend as much time considering it as I should've done, which resulted in a lot of time wasted on blogging.
Going Forward
The continuing improvements in both the quality and consistency of my final outcomes is very reassuring and is giving me more confidence in my abilities as a designer.
This brief has also demonstrated to me how applying theoretical research to a practical project can really help narrow down the options you need to choose from when making design decisions, so this is something I'll try to do more of in future projects.
Given the time constraints and workload I'm currently facing, I don't see it being practical to do the Pantone brief as was the original plan, because of it being a rather large oneI will instead do Secret 7 as my final individual brief instead.
