Reflection on the current creative format

I have sent my work so far over to Paz to have a look at, in general terms of layout and creative design.

I have gone back to look at my work today and although I am pleased with it overall, there are a few things which I would like to change. For example, the text will not seem to align properly; I am not sure whether this is because I have inserted it in a strange and peculiar way!! Or simply because I am not using the correct function. I also feel that there should be a heavier use of colour through my report. The issue is that, when changing the colour of a piece of text, it sometimes can become very difficult to read.

I have left my font at size twelve – the same size as a printed document. However, I must take into consideration that this is an electronic submission, therefore it should bear in mind the fact that this may not be easily readable once this is turned into a PDF document. I have decided that I should be more experimental with font types – I may wish to try and download some from the Internet. However, I must outline or embed these so that they become a graphic as opposed to a font, therefore when I return to uni I will be able to use these with no issues.

What next?

I will begin to tweak the abovementioned areas. I also have been having considerations with regards to my sketchbook, and how best to format this. At present it is in a binded sketchbook format. However, with previous submissions I have presented in an A3 file of mine, and work has always looked very neat and professional in this.

Also, because I have created these characters, I shall now get in contacts with my ‘frequent supplier’ at carnie badges, and send over my characters so that badges can be made up for these.

What is more – watch this space, as I will be uploading an image of these characters onto my blog, to keep the continuity flowing throughout my project. I also desire to print and cut out these characters, and place them into the enveloped pocket at the front of my sketchbook, as a nice touch 
