reflective josh.

i wasn't sure what to expect when i enrolled. but i am glad i did.

i was really pleased to be working with the letterpress in the first assessment. it allowed for varied results in print, something that is often forgotten in such a digital age. the small amount of studio time and amount of type and presses were all challenging constraints.

the second assessment was very similar to a few past assignments from my graphic studios, but relied a lot upon the technicalities of typography (i guess that's the idea). it was a shame that the end results were fairly subjective to the taste of the people assessing. but i didn't feel there was much direction to the assignment, leaving everyone in the lurch and unsure of their design.

assessment three, i feel, will be the most successful. im really impressed with the way the class pulled together in such unusual circumstances. i was skeptical with the short amount of time and the high number of students working on the one assignment. im really looking forward to seeing how it all comes together. i throroughly enjoyed working with my team...a lovely group of girls who i was only too happy to work with.
