This brief was't actually too bad nor was it as difficult as some of the others. The only thing that was a struggle was the workload as this module is heavily pack with 4 different briefs. I found it especially difficult when the group work came in as it was difficult to get together as it was during Easter and because we had another brief going on. This module was more open than the others; you are able to choose what you want to design as long as you produce what it asks. We got to choose any of the 7 songs (or multiple) from secret 7, we could choose whichever currency we wanted to redesign and also we designed something that showed our personal first year experience.
Since the workload was quite intense, I felt like I couldn't spend as much time on each brief as I wanted. However, the outcomes have turned out better than I hoped. This module had been better than the others since I became more independent and create something that is towards more my style rather than having limitations. I especially enjoyed creating the designs for Secret 7 as I could really show off my skill in this brief as I experimented with various outputs. Overall, for the whole module, it has really pushed me into creating something that doesn't have to be digitally printed. For this module, I have done hand paper cut outs, screen print, monoprint and a digital print. It has helped me gain confidence in creating work outside technology and I have given myself a wide range of options.
For briefs 1,2 and 4, I have noticed a recurring pattern and that is that my work is quite simple. I think that simplicity is something that I like in designs as it just looks cleaner and uncomplicated.
