| First stage |
So the ISTD project started apparently well, at least I thought it did. Well, I was wrong.
I still have to say that I enjoyed every bit of it, studied typography as much as I could, went mad for grids, got some very interesting idea... Unfortunately though, my tutors did not seem quite pleased with whatever I was doing at each single step of the work. At first my design process was upside-down, because I quickly had strong ideas about formats. Afterwards I was not going around all the time with my research to visually back up my development. Then I was not experimenting enough. Soon after that, I went too far in experimentation, so I should revert back to something more conventional.
This is pretty much what actually happened. The result of all of it has been that I got quite stressed and I produced a very dull outcome, in my opinion.
What did I learn then? To follow my own judgement much more, stop giving limits to myself, listen to tutors less and less - they are not telling me what to do, they are giving hints out of their own opinion, nothing more and nothing less. It took me a seriously long time to get it, but hopefully this time I will stuck with it.
