As far as this final project goes for the graphics pathway, I have once again found it extremely difficult to get into to and lacked in idea generation.
The "Weather" project was not one of the most interesting projects we've been given and because of this I got off to a very slow start, despite talking to fellow students and also my pathway tutors, I still struggled to gain a starting point for this project, although I eventually settled on the idea of looking into the immense flooding recieved nationwide in this country throughout this winter.
With a lack of motivation, this project eventually ground to a halt, however once I managed to get back into this project I drew on my experience from the data translation project to create a piece which translated the data of the average january rainfall compared with the rainfall recieved this winter as I believe it was a problem which was being portrayed in the media each day and also I was something which people were seeing on a daily basis.
Although once again, no final piece was created for this project, my idea generation soon picked up and helped me to get a good feel for what I could have created in this project.
I am disappointed by my lack of motivation for this project however I feel I am strongest when presented with a project which gives me freedom to explore an area of my own particular interests, although I understand for the purposes of the graphic design industry this is not always (NEVER) how the industry really works and it is more about making something special out of the projects which are infact the least enjoyable and the hardest to begin.
Overall, I feel this project was my weakest to date and I am disappointed to have to finish this stage of the Foundation course with a project such as this in which I could not fully express my creative potential however, I look forward to starting the FMP Project, as I have chose a subject area which I on extremely great interest to me, Music Festivals
