Well, it's that time again, the end.
I can't say I didn't enjoy this brief, because I wrote it. I did however find it challenging, and a definite experience.
I liked being in charge of a brief. Knowing I can change or alter it is like a safety net. I did find myself getting a little lost at times. Being in charge of something, knowing I can do whatever I like intimidates me a little I have to admit. I'm a very indecisive person, so I'll never fully decide on something until the last minute which is something I need to address.
Writing the brief wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Having an idea as to what kind of work I want to produce made it easier, so I simply chose a brief I liked the sound of and adapted it to what I wanted to do. Although I've got my interests, it was still difficult choosing exactly what to do as the options were endless. I found my outcomes changed as the brief progressed.

I feel as though I made it harder for myself, which isn't a surprise. I try to pick something relatively simple and straight forward (in the most un-lazy way possible) but somehow I always tend to confuse myself. I'm still working on this, by laying things out. I found action plans really helped, so I knew what needed to be do for when.
I think my time management has really improved during this brief. As I mentioned before, I made action plans which helped me get things done on time, which left me plenty of time to do other things. I usually find myself rushing my outcomes, but it's kind of been a breeze this time round. I'm hoping to keep this up in the future.
Overall I believe my brief was successful. I've always said I've never been able to produce high quality finishes, and I know my outcomes could have been a lot better, but I'm really happy with how they've turned out. I still feel as though the concept and entire meaning of my work is so much more stronger, but I can safely say I'm pleased with what I've produced.
I've thoroughly enjoyed writing a brief for myself to put in to practise, and I look forward to writing more.
