The Mood Board – 141

At some point in one’s life, a person shall be in the position holding the title ‘Guinea Pig’.  My classmates and I were given this position for a new assignment. Although there is nothing wrong with being the first to work on or experience a new project, there comes a problem where there are examples present to help gain a better grasp of the assignment itself.  The lack of examples was understandable but I spent quite a bit of time re-reading the brief but was met with nothing but confusion.  The project due date was rescheduled (which I shall be forever thankful for) but the revisions that occurred during the week brought on only more stress.  I was so full of stress and confusion that by the end of it I had just given up and threw it all together. InVision also had some problems especially if you place something in the wrong place, there was no undo button so I had to move everything around all over again.

 This project deserves a four out of ten because I truthfully am unhappy with what I’ve created.  The mood board feels so plain and lacks any form of distinguishable flavour and my voice is buried underneath facts.  I was under the belief that all the topics I had chosen were what I was thoroughly interested in but alas-as I write these words in the early hours in the morning, I am wrong about what I am intrigued by once again. I enjoyed the research aspect of this project but my procrastination got the best of me and sadly I was unable to finish this project fully.
