Time management

i found this module very different from others as my final resolutions has to be created in advance to allow for time to apply them to other formats instead of working on the finals up until the the deadline day. 

after speaking to fred on my first tutorial on the 3rd of march i new i needed to narrow down my topic and decide on an end point to work to. - product, range and distribution

to make sure i had sufficient time to spend on the application of my work. i set myself indiviual deadlines and directions early on.


PLAN i have been working to, setting myself targets after each key stage (i.e progress tutorials):- 

• 3rd-10th march  - decide on direction
• 10th- 17th march (peer review) - collect all photographs to illustrate from.
• 17th march - 26th march (peer review)- develop and experiment on tone of voice to produce illustrations with. 
• EASTER- 21st April (group tutorials) - draw all illustrations for book pages
• 21st april - 30th April (progress tutorials) find campaign or charity i can apply my illustrations to to give them a purpose in the real world 
• 30th April- 7th May (digital printing) add illustrations, selected quotes and charity logo to book template on indesign ready to print. 
• 7th May - 8th of May (final crit) create 3 presentations boards presenting my work and bring in final book to be crited. 
• 8th May - 14th May (deadline) project report (featuring 750 summative evaluation), touch up blog of the profession of  the module, print off post cards to a professional level to hand in alongside book to show another physical format. 

realistic workload 

at the beginning of the module i underestimated how much time i would need to produce what i was purposing, making my project/brief very broad. after speaking to tutors i have learnt to set my self realistic  goals with my workload, this has allowed me to produce work in a less stressful manner which i feel has given me more time to produce to a more professional standard because i have allowed myself the time to develop, alter and perfect my existing work after each tutorial, peer review and crit.
