For my Final Major Project I have been designing an online movie streaming company, known now as SOCIALSTREAM. The project initially started off very slowly because I felt that I couldn't progress without a name, which meant that I couldn't create a logo. Thankfully, as time went on and more ideas were tried, a final outcome was decided on. I do think that it could be improved on but what it is, it serves the purpose.
Going into this project, I thought it would be a bit pointless as I was certain I wouldn't learn anything. I also didn't feel as motivated because this is the type of work I would usually do for a client. Thinking up how everything should work was challenging and isn't something that is usually left to the designer.
Over the past few weeks I have been spending days and days in Adobe Illustrator and during that time I have ran into many obstacles, which required a little research to over come. Because of that, I have picked up on a few new techniques which benefit my workflow quite a lot and for that I'm quite happy.
Aside from designing mock website pages and the above logo, I also wanted to expand on the idea and create a mock Android/iOS application for Smart Phones. I was able to get it onto my phone and take a shot that shows how it would look if in use. I think it looks pretty legitimate!

Sounds like you did learn something ... ? Motivation? Is the motivation not being able to do a project that is completely of your own choosing?
ReplyDeleteI probably should have tried to word that better: Yeah, I did learn new things.
