Today we completed our first design brief, a themeboard. My chosen topic, Military. I found it quite easy to collect the relevant information and images but I was surprised how small A3 seemed in relation to my many images!
Luckily, we had all day to complete the board so I had plenty of time to re-arrange and adjust the layout to make the most of the available space and ensure I included my favourite and most relevant images. I added some trims which helped to jazz up the final piece and add some texture to the board.
I enjoyed putting the board together however, honestly, I didn't really see the importance of the task as I've produced many themeboards in the past. However, it was brought to my attention that my board was very fashion and designer based whereas some of my classmates had gone about the task slightly differently, displaying what the theme meant to them in a more personal way. I believe the images I used are what would inspire me however it is good to see the other sorts of media I could use in the future and other sources which I could derive inspiration from. Above is my completed themeboard!
so far so good; but maybe I would say, keep an open mind and explore the potential of other opportunities and skills , take risks - the creative process evolves and changed -you never really 'finish' anything -just keep building on the last.
