This post is more of a diary entry summing a huge chunk of
my life and putting into perspective and
understanding why these particular events that have happened have made me this
way and how these previous 7 projects have led me up to this point in where I
create an entirely personal piece.
I started to research about how growing up under different
circumstances have an overall effect about you as a person. Meaning so when you
grow up your personality will reflect your upbringing in a way that dictates
your emotions so to speak. I therefore understood what kind of a person I am
and the way I think, so because of this, these 8 projects I can relate to as a
form of growing up, a transition if you will.
Starting from the very first project all the way to this
final project I feel like the transition that has happened is like; us going
from a small child all the way to an adult. That does not mean I did not work
hard, I did. What I am getting at here with each project I learnt something new.
Even if I did somewhat 'Screw' up, but that is not the point and that is
clearly subjective. Due to my ever learning nature I still progressed to the
next project taking into account what I have learnt from the previous projects.
Thus learning from my mistakes.
This final project is something totally different as I have
read in between the lines of the brief. I feel as if this is a summation of
this whole Graphic Design year. I decided to reflect it on my process of my
upbringing meaning, going from child to an understanding, mature adult. This
whole year I have changed and this project puts it into perspective on how much
I have changed positively.
This is what I have created. Using the outline of my name I
filled the innards with my personality, attributes and my attitude through out
life. To give you an understanding of what kind of a person I am and how I go
about thinking/progressing with these projects.
