'Thoughts & Feelings'
Through out this year I think my work has progressed and I think I have learnt a lot of lessons about time management and not to leave things till last minute. I have also developed my skills in using indesign which I had't used much before. I think my favourite project was the Artist Typeface which I really like my final outcome and the hole project went well.

'Thoughts & Feelings'
I didn't enjoy this project as much as I thought I would, partly to do with my time management and trying to create magazine layouts. Before this project I was looking to go into some sort or print baed design when I had finished uni but I think i've changed my mind now. I found it had designing layout and my layouts will probably bring my mark down a little bit. 
On the other hand I really enjoyed creating the masthead, I found that I had a few good ideas but I wasn't sure about which one was the best. I their for asked my friends about which one they would find more attractive and then used that one as my final. I found that by have the masthead one colour it wouldn't work with all magazines, so I looked back at the current mastheads that are out there now and found that quite a few of them use a range of colours so that they work well with any front cover used, therefore I have done the same. 
I think this project went ok, my time management was as good as other project, so i did't get as much annotation on the design document which I will have lost makes on but I feel my design work was quite and the flow, which I have struggled on before went better this time round.
