Dear Sir or Madam would you read my book, its took a year to write will you take a look??
This past week has been one of true panic, decision making and true team work, I have had very little time to welcome my usual allotted margin for procrastinating, It has been that bad that I am yet to venture out to see Iron Man III on its opening week, a venture that was unheard of with the release of the first two.
This week has been so busy because of the ever approaching deadline for the degree show catalogue design that the printers is wanting for a draft copy. It appeared that with the deadline approaching, our chief designer was in need of some help, so I stepped up, I very much enjoy the designing of poster work, flyers and now, the degree show catalogue. So over the past week I met up with the wonderfully helpful and talented performance artist Amy Sage, who has taken me through a crash course in Adobe InDesign, allowing Me and Matt have pushed on with completing the final draft of the catalogue, not forgetting the input from the other students on the course.
Visualising a finished catalogue with so many peoples involvement is such a hard thing to do, creative control needs to be enforced and unfortunately you’re unable to please everyone, no matter how hard you try. I’m including below the conversation we had over our Facebook page, it’s in reference to the images we are including on the inside cover sleeve both front and back of our degree show catalogue, I think this shows the steps needed to problem solve and overcome difficult decisions. I think a very important skill I have gained and added to throughout this last year of the degree course, is the ability to express and explain my ideas and back them up to my fellow students, explaining to them the advantages and gains from doing things a particular way, through doing this I feel I have been able to gain their support and trust and so far we have been a very solid and successful year group…
The images I have included are that of the conversation process we have for decision making over our Facebook group page, I think including pieces like this enables you to see how a decision is made through many parties.
