Back to Uni

Coming back to uni after summer was difficult, but it was mainly my own fault. I wasn't prepared at all for the amount of work that we were about to be given. Our first project was set in the first week of coming back and was just a small one that in hindsight was one to get us back into the swing of things. Unfortunately, i didn't take this opportunity to get back into the swing of things and left it all late to start the research and the work and very quickly became quite stressed about things. the brief was to think of a current issue that we believe is overlooked and create a poster that would create awareness of the issue. I chose to look at online gambling and this was probably the only part of the project that didn't take very long. I wasn't happy with this project at all, my designs were not thought through and ended up looking rushed.. add that to the fact that my concept behind the poster was not that great and i ended up with a final poster that was not my best piece of work. Then again, poster design and advertising is not my strong point. Luckily, this project was split into 4 sections (this being the 1st). This meant that i had a chance to go back over my final design in my own time and strengthen the design. I promised myself that after this mess of a week that i would keep on top of my work and make sure that i wouldn't allow myself to get stressed.. this did not work!
