PPP3 - Nina's Blog Evaluation

Nina's Blog Evaluation 

This brief showed a range of issues with my practise as well as things i need to consider within my work and future briefs.

For this idea i offered to do more work for the client than was asked for originally (digitally drawing the images), due to this for the other brief i need to clarify this with clients at the very start of the briefs. What to they want? what can do? At the start of live briefs form now on i aim to write a list with the client of what they want from me so we can define this at the start and make sure the payment fits with this.The client changed their mind often and this meant a lot more for me than i originally predicted, going back a working on ideas for this to be changed after, this also needs to be budget for the extra time.

One of the good aspect of this was the sending of research, doing this allowed me to pinpoint what the client wanted and their aims at the start. This gave both the designer and client a visual idea of the outcome so they both understood what was being produced. Also defining the audience and limitations at the start meant this where at the forefront of the design from the start. The lack on gender and age range ment that these styles where considered for the start of the brief.

This outcome will not be used on my extended practise blog, this is because i do not like the final outcome. There is other outcome i prefer and ideas i liked better, but the client didn't agree with this. This is an issue that will happen often with clients, so i have to be aware of this but i felt the final idea was too child like for a serious and young adult audience. I felt it looked more like a children's TV show then a blog, but the client was very happy and i got paid for it. This showed some briefs will not alway be good but sometimes they have to be done to pay the bills

-push ideas more
-feedback on research is vital
-get a defined audience and breif
-check any limiations
