Studio Brief 1 - Reflective Practice A2 Poster

As part of our reflective practice we created posters that would be displayed to the class in a later session and presented so that we could begin to develop our presenting skills and gain further feedback on areas that need improvement.

For the poster itself, I started by looking back at some of the memorable parts of the course. This included the Design Skills module, in which we were tasked with creating a way finding system for an venue in Leeds. I felt that at this stage on the course this was probably my most successful work and therefore decided to include an element of it on the poster. I was also reflective of the Helvetica documentary, which was shown to us earlier on the course. I felt this was a necessary element as it was the start of our understanding about the application of type in design.

The poster also includes some of the areas of the course which I haven't enjoyed, such as the lecture programmes and the blogging. By stating these concerns, I may be able to look back during level 5 and reflect on areas that I may have come to like more.

For the design layout itself, I chose Helvetica as the title font and used transparent blue backdrops which would be reflective of the styles I have become familiar with during the time on the course.
