I have decided that I will do a progress update for each week as it gives me points where I can reflect the weeks work and decide what direction to go in for the following week.
I have found it much easier to progress with this brief this week. I think I am getting more comfortable with the task and am more confident in my ability to create the typography. I definitely still have a lot more work to do in terms of creating really clean and refined type, but I think at this point I am doing well with it all.
At this point I have tried out a few different type styles and am starting to learn which styles I like to do and which ones I really don't like doing at all. I think the last three days (12 - 14) have been my most successful works so far, which is something I feel good about because they're all three completely different styles.
I have also started making decisions about which style to do on each day according to the chart I created initially. I have skipped a couple out up to this point because I haven't felt that they will benefit me in any way compared to the other styles. This does open up two days work for other styles that I may see around or online.
I am quite confident that by the end of the thirty days I will be at a reasonably good level of skill in this brief and am definitely considering the idea of redoing this brief in the future and changing it to fit what I want to achieve at that point in time.
I have decided that once this brief is finished I will do a bit of a mini brief in refining/redrawing a few of the designs which I am not happy with. While I like the fact I can see the progress, I do want to have an amount of designs which are all at the same standard. I think the first weeks work will all need refining, and possibly day 8, 9 and 11.
