Feathr Responsive, Evaluation

Feathr Evaluation

I really enjoyed this brief because I didn’t take it very serious. I had an idea in my head while we got briefed and just went with it, which I think at times works best.  So this brief was more of a one day brief with some revision later.

I think I liked this brief a lot because it started with a very good briefing from Feathr. They explained what they were looking for and made it feel fun rather than a massive professional step forward. It was daunting at all to get involved with live work and compete against other artists. I think working on live work can be intimidating at times however a lot of professionals like to give help and the creative community isn’t that scary. This brief is good practice to be aware of what’s going on around the world

I worked quite well for this brief, I was always aware of it. I was inspired and excited when we were briefed so that fuelled me to do a lot on the first day. I didn’t just work on it for one day however, I was always aware that I still had to finish it. This brief for me was quite easy to remember to do but being doing other briefs along with it. It’s made me aware of my time management as well. I definitely still need to work on it but I think I’ve started to keep up a bit better. It helps when it’s good brief; it’s something I looked forward to working on.

I only really came across one problem over the design. That was the repeat, which probably a lot of people struggled with.  I drew the design the way I wanted it without considering if the repeat would work or not. At first it didn’t look like it would work. However, after speaking to Feathr they showed me some tips to attempt it. By this time they had added a few more drops meaning it did work out. So because the original design did work, but I had made a back up I submitted both.

I think this brief was a lot of fun. I was able to draw which was important because I don’t want to do so much digital work straight away. I think not taking it very seriously and not worrying about the prize made me do the idea I wanted. For this brief it was definitely the taking part that counts for me.
