OUGD603 | Extended Practice | Brief 03 | Development - Final Publication & Evaluation | BBC (Our Generation) - Life being British Born Chinese
Final Design
Below is the final 'Our Generation' publication.
Evaluation
In conclusion the design process of our British Born Chinese brief 'Our Generation' Publication was challenging. Initially at the beginning stages of the brief we were unsure and strive to produce something simple (publication) or big (exhibition). The reason of this uncertainty was if we were able to collect enough information from the depending number of potential participants (BBC Society - Leeds University). In addition thinking and collecting questions to ask the potential participants was important as we needed to collect significant quotes that reflect on a British Born Chinese lifestyle. Despite this problematic situation we were able to get at least 16 to 17 participants (including ourselves) to contribute to our brief. We further created a Google form for the participants to write some of their experiences, what being a British Born Chinese individual is like and so on.
By using the google drive as a media sharing platform that my collaborator, Leah Chen we both could access. This platform was beneficial for the both of us as we were able to edit, critique, share informations and work on each others designs. The google drive made everything organisable as we put them in folders: colours, development, typefaces, sketches, vectors, Photoshop, Photographs and so on. This sharing media platform was appealing as we were able to given each other constant feedback.
Due to timescale we were unable to deliver a possible exhibition as our own individual projects cause this draw back. Therefore our other idea the publication changed to be our final outcome of the brief. Since we were inspired to produce something similar to 'Human's of New York' and the 'Recreate an Childhood photograph' we decided to go in that direction for the outcome of the publication.
However, since we planned to take "now" photographs of the participants/individuals involved, many were unable to get back to us. This was due to the individuals commitments, as well as that, in the questionnaire we provided for them to answer, some responsive lacked substance which made it quite challenging to elaborate or be used within the publication.
Overall, the brief challenging. The reason of the challenges were the participants or individuals commitments and the slow response to our questionnaire were not as elaborated as we predicted. Nevertheless the collaboration and communication between Leah was reasonable as we relayed too much on the participants which made it more difficult to produce more of a respectable publication. We worked very well together helped each other on designs aspects, we considered each others personal projects and tried to communicate and respond if needed.To conclude I would collaboration with Leah again as we did communicate well (especially when using the google drive platform to share designs.)
