OUGD505 // Evaluation

I have really enjoyed the 505 Design Practice 2 module, more so than other modules so far this year.  This is down to the fact that we based our projects on something that we were really interested in.  To begin with I was slightly worried that "Bunting" perhaps was not the best thing to pick for the briefs, but through researching, I found a way that it could work for the briefs and possible graphic outcomes for the brief.  I finally feel like I have achieved something to be proud of with this brief and I plan to carry on making bunting and other crafts to sell, not for charity but to put the money I make, back into making more products.

I feel like I have improved my organisation skills with this project, having to organise a place to sell the bunting, organise getting fabric donated while also designing the graphic design to go along with the project.  Crocheting is another skill I have gained along the way which I wish to build upon in the summer holiday as there are so many things you can make out of crocheting and could be an interesting way to create graphic outcomes in the future.

In the future I wish to expand my product range and hopefully make enough so I have enough stock to start selling my designs and products at Craft Fairs.  I am going to carry on making bunting, a few people have already asked me to make them some personalised bunting.  I also wish to make more dream catchers, greetings cards, crocheted cushion covers.

If I had more time for the "What is Good" project I would have liked to have this product range available.  Other graphic outcomes I'd like to design would be stickers or badges and possibly an article to promote the project in a local zine or newspaper.
