Self-Reflection/Evaluation

Overall, I think the branding project went well this was due to the fact that I already had the brand, and website set up so I knew what I wanted it to look like. So I have saved a lot of time which allowed to focus on my Degree Project and personal life. 

Throughout the project, I had to make various decisions where some had played a minor role but others were crucial to the project. One of the first crucial decisions I had to make was whether I should stick with my previously made name of Albert//able and after some discussion with Dean, we have decided that it's not that bad. So, I extended the domain name of the website for another year. 

Another crucial decision when designing a Showreel was how to present my work in a somewhat interesting way rather than just sticking a picture up and calling it finished. So, I decided to go with unravelling the work in layers creating suspense and making it more interesting. I have seen the following technique used in other Showreels/Portfolios that were based around Graphic Design as it is hard to make the static image come to life. At one point I was considering animating some of the posters to make them more interactive however I have realised that it might not look as professional as I would want to it mainly due to my lack of skill with After Effects.

Some of the issues I had along the way were associated with Premiere Pro at the beginning of the project as it was crashing every now and then forcing me to enable autosave every couple of minutes or so. However, the crashing was fixed with the latest update.
