For the first brief, it was ok; I choose Agatha Christie for my project not just because her novels are very famous but also I felt like is something I will enjoy doing because I like to draw something dark and dramatic.But then I realized it is difficult to communicate all the feeling from Agatha Christie's work. I also really want to try draw in a different style. I usually like to overcomplicate my work; now I try my best to show as less as detail I can. I was pleased that I can do that and finish my first brief very soon.
Then for Brief 2, I started to struggle. Maybe because we need to do prints, I don't do much print, and for some reason, I don't enjoy doing the screen print, so It affect me a bit. For the first time, I also try Lino print which didn't work out quite well in the end. So I choose to stay in my comfort zone and do digital print. But I feel like I can not come up with some good ideas for my digital print, it is very frustrating. I was very disappointed and had a lot of self-doubts, stating to lost motivation. I aim high but accomplish little. I had a very difficult time during this brief.
For brief 3 I would say I had a good time with it. I always had an interest in the animation field; it is very exciting for me to learn After Effect and make a small animation, although I don't like my animation because my work from brief two but it is fun for making it and learning it.
Despite I didn't enjoy this module, but this module did make understand myself more, I think it will be a good lesson for me and teach me the importance of dealing with emotion while creating, never put too much pressure on myself. I am grateful that this module can let me see who I am what I am afraid of deep inside me.
