What methods did you use to gather your evidence and what forms did it take?
Opinions, Facts and objects. Then books and internet and word of mouth.
What methods of research did you find useful and why?
I found the 100 opinions and facts interesting because I learnt a lot from them and enjoyed talking to people to try to understand other peoples views of Reggae music/ culture.
How did these inform your response to your problem?
Eventually from the crit the group liked the idea of album artwork rather than the reggae music/ culture and i also used the idea of the older audience saying they used to buy the record because of the artwork.
What methods did you encounter as problematic?
Finding 100 album artwork where I could get enough information on it and 100 that i found interesting. Also creating the packaging and CD turned out to be a bit of a mess.
How did you overcome this?
Learnt for next time to try to keep the packaging as simple as possible. Eventually collected 100 but needed to put a few in that were less interesting to get to 100. (around 15ish)
What research could you have carried put that would have proved more useful?
Reserch the product design more I thought I could apply the book making to the box/ CD cover but should spend more time producing it as well.
List five things that you have learnt about the design process over the last Five weeks.
1. I don't have to use flash, photoshop, or hand make for final ie-iTunes.
2. Take more time on producing hand made box
3. Spend more time on finals
4. Collecting and processing research- how the research influenced where my project lead to.
5. Learnt loads about album artwork and designers- Got a good research resource for future use
List five things you would do different next time.
1. Take more time on finals
2. Research packaging design
3. Logo designs- iArtwork relates well but looks abit of a rip off.
4. Be more experimental with ideas/ processes because I spent that much time researching
5. Idea generation maybe because from my research i kind of went along where it was leading to and didn't really have a back up idea.
