tt are good evaluation

I believe my ability in developing and evaluating was up to a standard level, as I only selected what I thought to be appropriate information and nothing more where as last year I gained so much information it seemed some of it was irrelevant, I think that in doing this method, I kept the project nice and simple and Gave it a clear direction on where it was going. I used Primary and secondary sources for research including images, drawings and information from tattoo shops their selves also taking into consideration Qualatitative and Quantatitive research in order to see how people reacted to my ideas and get feedback.

I don’t think I looked at enough media revolving around processes and technologies. I got a good understanding of many of the processes but I only researched into ones which I was using relevant to the project which was Litho printing, Heat transfer printing and screen printing. However for the processes I did research into I believe I did a relevant bit of Investigation into the subject matter which included in My experimenting with different media and print and of course trying out the process myself to see what worked and what didn’t, for example, printing on Nylon via screen print wouldn’t of worked with the CMYK colour scheme I picked.

3. the breadth and quality of practical skills, ideas and design development.

As I stated before I only designed what I thought to be relevant, I did many idea’s on design sheets of how to make a good tattoo based product. But i quickly dismissed the irrelevant material after evaluating whether or not it would work due to it being appropriate, a perfect example is my target audience was under 18’s and people who didn’t know about tattoos/ what to get for their first one. So one way of solving it was a transfer tattoo kit, which really would of only worked for certain ages under the limit, i.e. 3 – 12 which dismisses the other years of where someone is 99.9% more likely to get a tattoo without thought. I settled on a tattoo t-shirt based on the top man range of popular v neck t-shirts, development went really well as the t-shirt adapted instantly from a screen printed skin colour to printing on Nylon to get around not using certain skin colours on designs. I originally planned on a simple bag as well to go with the product which was to be screen printed, however development kicked in really fast and I ended up with a separate information blog to customers and a booklet that came with the product giving them some brief information to the blog.

I don’t think I organized my work right for this project in my PPD I think for the next project I am going to produce a PPD presentation folder straight away to keep it all in order and get neat scans rather than last minute light box photos of design sheets.

Overall I believe my final product, packaging, booklet’s and blog for the product where a great success and answered the briefs requirements, I really enjoyed this project and think that it did go well and I believe it to be the best work I have done on the course.
