The publication aspect of this brief allowed to develop my understanding of editorial design, and explore different photographic page layouts, which was something I am really interested in but haven’t provided myself with enough opportunity to develop this interest. This brief also provided me with a great platform to showcase the photographs I had taken during my two trips to Brasil, which otherwise would of had nothing done to them, and this way they were given a purpose and a meaning, and hopefully inspiring other people to travel to the same places I did.
It was also great to get feedback on this project from Venn Creative, which then led to me developing this brief into something more substantial with more purpose.
This brief took a lot longer to complete than was initially intended, and this had to then be factored into the time plan to complete other design work, however I managed to complete it to the standard I wanted, and managed to do everything I wanted with this brief, which highlights the success of my time plan, and being able to adapt it to allow for extra time on this brief.
I have really enjoyed working with the topic of travel, as I find this area so inspirational, and this definitely has an impact on the amount of time I wanted to allocate to this brief, because I was enjoying the design process so much.
This brief also gave me the opportunity to talk to different people who live in Brasil or used to live there, to include within my publication, and give more of an insight into the country itself from the people who live there. This was conducted via a family member who spoke Portuguese to send out my questions to select friends and family, to get varied responses from people all across Brasil, which were then translated back into English for use in the publication. This process was probably the most difficult part of the brief, picking out quotes I could use in the publication, and which were positive and relevant as well. Saying that, as far as challenges within a brief go, this was a really minimal one.
This has been such an inspiration brief to work on, and I feel this really shows in the effectiveness of the final outcome, and my enjoyment throughout the whole process.
