- The final outcome of my project is a 4 page editoral I styled centered around my magazine I created called Omanako.
I firstly started out producing lots of moodboards I had for my ideas based around my theme, which made the development process a lot easier and taught me it's better to have all your ideas down so you can see them more visually rather than just keeping them locked up in your head. I mainly looked at women in the 90's especially in music which I found the most helpful to my research and ideas as my theme was popular during this time period. I also interviewed family members and friends for their views and ideas. Originally my final outcome was meant to be a print magazine but after careful timing I found it was easier to produce an online version instead.
These were great for seeing my development of work throughout the project and looking at what I did well and what I needed to improve on. My blog was used to record my progress, thoughts and ideas throughout each studio day of the project which see what i had done that week and what I needed to get started on next.
In the past i've always used a normal sketchbook to get across my ideas and development but as I am more of a promotion student my tutors advised me I would be better off producing an online-sketchbook (which i didn't even know was allowed) to record my working progress better I made it using a tumblr theme and instantly found it so much more easier than a normal sketchbook and noticed it helped me work at a much faster pace than usual.
- My main FMP targets were
One:
Shoot front cover
editorial. Get started on editing. Design/make props for cover shoot. By 28th April. I didn't meet this target due to not being happy with the idea of the shoot and needed more time to re-plan.
Two:
Print out favourite exerts of the magazine in A3 for End of Year Show and copy of the magazine in final for public display. By 19th May. I Partly met this target with my exerts printed on time which I was happy with as I never usually do and the magazine I changed to an online edition which was meant to be in print.
Three:
Get
some feedback and advice on final edit of the magazine then send off to the
printers! Create an online persona of the magazine through Social media to
raise awareness and give off a realistic presence. By 12th May. Again this target was partly met with the feedback of the magazine I got from peers and tutors plus making an online persona for my magazine.
- Key developments which contributed to my final piece
With the theme of my project being feminism I first looked at it through music looking at artists such as TLC, The Spice Girls and britpop bands who I found weren't so political and boring about feminism but projected in a way of their own which is what I was trying achieve with this project.
I originally wanted my project to be feminism from a males perspective but after researching I found there was so many areas of feminism i could look at and didn't just want to restrict myself to just one.
-Improvements to the way I work and things I want to continue getting better at
I shall definitely continue to develop my work using an online sketchbook it's been a tremendous help to my work pace and makes me feel a lot more confident about my ideas.
Although i've found myself getting better with this project I do need to work more on my organisation and timing which is key for going into degree level.
I feel using the online sketchbook really helped me to 'let go' with my ideas and not feel so restricted.
I want to continue using a blog as way of recording my progress and thoughts as I need to manage my time a lot better which I feel the blog has done.
