Project Planning - Time Management

-

Four categories ( skills, research, product & portfolio ) each with twenty thought out approaches that I feel would or could be relevant to my design practice and strategy. I found this extremely useful in understanding exactly where I should be heading as a designer. The choices I should consider, and the things I need to consider. Throughout level six this is going to be extremely helpful, as long as I keep referring back to it.

THE LIST

QUESTIONS

1. How can I effectively approach context, with illustration ?
2. Would freelance benefit the start of my career more than working for a studio ?
3. Should I be focussing more on type or illustration ?
4. How can I sort out a motivational and organised strategy to work ?
5. What is the best way to approach finances and paperwork after I graduate ?
6. Am I doing the right practice ?
7. What is the best approach to contacting professionals ?
8. Do I need to simplify my illustrations to meet a more design lef outcome ?
9. What do you think of my current practice ?
10. Should I collaborate with other designers more often ?

TIMELINE

- Idea Generation
- Research & Investigation
- Concept Development
- Design Development
- Evaluation & Selection
- Production & Resolution
- Presentation & Submission

For each brief, we had to put a timeline together with each of the seven design processes included. There is no strict order, or particular structure. The idea was to focus on which would suit the brief the most effectively in an order the we felt appropriate. I now understand exactly how I should approach each brief, more so as I have tried different orders to see which strategy suits my work rate the best.
