Self Promotion Evaluation
I have found this project the most difficult project i have done all year. I really struggled and took far too long on deciding what my unique selling point was. In the end if anything it got to me that i could think of anything unique what so ever. I eventually asked some friends what they thought was unique about myself, and most said adventurous.
With my unique selling point found, I began to plan some ideas that I could use. I decided to create a travel journey that would display my creative journey so far. I used typography and illustration to portray this. I created some sentences that fitted each image; for example I had an image of a field, so i would write “Exploring the field of design”.
The travel journals final page was explaining that my creative journey has not yet ended, and I would need assistance (from a work placement) I thought this idea worked quite nicely.
I handed crafted a box that would contain the journal, as well as a ”refuel” box. The refuel box contain a tea bag that i had personalised. The box also contains my CV, Cover Letter, Business Cards and an A5 personalised poster.
Once my pack has been completed, I created a short motion piece which was an idea/start of something that i could take further.
All in all, I would honestly say that I did not enjoy this project as it felt like my worse nightmare. However I do think that this project has helped me with confidence with my own work and developing work.
