A3 Presentation Boards
As the development and production of my first LuchaGod design is now complete, i'm able to reassess what i have left to complete and how long it's likely to take. I took the opportunity to revise my practical proposal and brief.
The main alterations come on my proposal sheet, having had a rethink on what suitable products could accompany the 'LuchaGod' character prints.
• Having made the decision to produce digital prints that had a screen print 'feel' to them rather getting bogged down into trying to reproduce them with actual screen printing, this will free up some considerable time to spend on creating all 6 character print designs, rather than the 3 that i initially proposed.
• Also with that time freed-up i can look into designing and printing branded card bag toppers for my postcard pack, and cardboard backers for the pin badges.
• As wrestling is a something that appeals to such a wide age range i felt i needed to select products to would possibly appeal to both older and younger fans.
• Although only relatively simple items to design, pin badges & enamel pins are popular and collectable, especially if i have a range of character designs to apply to them. Die cut stickers also have been popular for years and the 'mini mask' designs would transfer onto that platform well. Again, as theres a range of designs theres an opportunity to collect the set.
Looking at the list of tasks to carry out still, it does look like a lot to ask in the amount of time remaining, but it involves a mixture of physical and digital mock work i'm still feeling quietly confident i can achieve the goals i've set myself.
Below are the peer feedback forms based on evidence of progress on my blog and physical work including my sketchbook, test prints and presentation boards.
The feedback was really positive in regards to me being able to demonstrate a strong synthesis between research and aesthetic. Also my 'continuous reflection' and analysis in my practical response development was praised.I've been urged to focus on getting the 6 prints completed rather than getting too carried away with the proposed outcomes just yet, which is a good call, as i could very well see that happening!
As there was no real criticism or negative feedback to address in my immediate plans for the coming two weeks i drew up a mindmap/info graphic fusion 'thing' so i could see my proposed product range , what i need to do to produce it, and when it needs to be done. This includes print slot times, and alternative production methods if the time factor starts to kick in.
Above: visual doodle of the LuchaGod product range, which now includes a colouring book for the younger Luchador fans, which features the all the characters from the LuchaGod range.
So, now with a short break from the dissertation side of the module, its time to get proper stuck in again with a whole lot of character development sketching and poster designing - with real focus and assertiveness, which hasn't always been the case when it comes to me making design decisions.
