I faced a few challenges whilst creating my products for the PLATFORM art exhibition:
- When trying to create my other products and relating them to my poster, I struggled to make them look interesting. I wasn't getting much inspiration and wasn't sure where to place my patterns (pentagons, rectangles etc) on the pages so that they related to the poster but at the same time, looked different and eye-catching. However, after a while, I did gain some inspiration and managed to overcome this challenge.
- Also, when I was inserting my rectangle design, I had to make sure that they were the same width apart as well as the same length apart so that they looked even. This took a while because I had to take the measurements of each one and then adjust the rectangle one by one. However, once again, I managed to eventually overcome this challenge and the rectangles were even.
- Finally, when I was creating my web pages, I wanted to use the same font for the title of the pages that I used for PLATFORM. However, I didn't note down the name of this font (found on dafont.com) and so I had to search through my computer history until I finally found it.
The end results of my art exhibition pieces to slightly differ from my original plan/ideas.
- I wanted pastel colours on my products that I create for it. However, I got feedback from my fellow students and they said I should use more vibrant colours on my products to make it look more interesting and stand out more so that's what I decided to do. I experimented with lots of different colours and I found five different ones which I didn't think would work together but they did look really good
- I also changed the font of my text. At first, I wanted a "handwritten" text to be on my pieces of work. I liked the theme of sort of childlike writing and thought it would look really good on my work. However, when I was experimenting I found that it didn't really make the poster looked like an art exhibition one and when I looked at other fonts, I found that bold and block ones looked better!
