Evaluation of AF101

Overall I really enjoyed this project and the development process my designs underwent. The main thing I enjoyed was the ability to use the skills I acquired on Illustrator for a different purpose and incorporating Photoshop into the process. I also learnt how to use InDesign which was a challenge but hopefully I can develop my understanding of it a bit more in the future. 

Working on a live brief was also quite exciting as it gave me the opportunity to see how what I was designing would be viewed in a real-world scenario. Working to very specific constrains within the brief also kept my focus on the overall objectives a bit more than it otherwise would've. The increased compatibility and cross-program issues were also a good eye-opener for me when it comes to working on different designs for the same project.

I think my increased understanding of the software I used has been very beneficial to me and I think that my furthered understanding translates into the overall quality of my final designs.
