Industry - Design Development: Unit 8

During this unit, I had a two-week window to devise a final outcome based on a quote or short text related to the environment. After careful consideration, I selected a verse from the song "Rain on Me" by Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande, drawn to its reflection on how weather can impact one's mood—an aspect I aimed to include in my final outcome.


My project took the form of a leaflet, intended to explain how the weather affects your mood. While I felt moderately satisfied with the outcome, having successfully curated a fitting colour scheme and incorporating segments of my chosen text onto the front page, there were aspects that left me wanting. Notably, the printed colors did not quite capture the desired pastel effect that I had on Illustrator, diverting from the aesthetic I had envisioned. I feel my final outcome was too basic, however, given the two-week timeframe and my emphasis on documenting the developmental process, I refrained from dwelling on what I could have done. Instead, I regarded it as a stepping stone in my creative journey, fostering a resolve to refine and enhance future endeavors.





I feel my planning was quite successful as I had created a project schedule outlining the things I needed to achieve within a specific time frame. Due to creating a project schedule, I was able to outline what things I needed to achieve thus being able to produce developmental work much quicker this time around.


The knowledge and skills I have achieved during this project is being able to scale shapes equally on Illustrator which was something that was vital for my leaflet as it was important for me to make sure my leaflet was aesthetically pleasing. This is a skill I will definitely be using for future projects.

FMP : Evaluation

During these past 2 months, I was working on a project with a very heavy topic that was important to me, France and the colonisation of Francophone West Africa. The whole project has been successful, I managed to create a film which came out how I wanted; it was very informative and visually pleasing. This project holds immense significance for me as I was able to shed light on an issue that resonates deeply with me. I take great pride in the awareness I've raised and the impact it may have on others' understanding of this complex historical narrative. Beginning with my research, it was crucial in shaping my film. Both primary and secondary sources were essential. Without them, my film wouldn't have turned out the same. Research laid the foundation, ensuring accuracy and preventing misinformation from spreading. I prioritised online sources due to the fact that they are easily accessible and simple to verify. This approach ensured that the information I incorporated into my...

FMP : Deliver

To bring my vision to life, I relied on a variety of applications, each serving a specific purpose in the creation process. Firstly, I used notes to create my script and then I used voice memo to record myself reading the script for my film. Next, I turned to Paint.NET, a graphic design tool, to create drawings of maps and flags for my film. Additionally, I utilised Photoshop to create captivating GIFs. In the post-production phase, I turned to CapCut, a video editing software, to piece together the various elements of my film.  These apps helped me improve how the film flows, enhance transitions, and make the final product look great. Using these apps made my project feel more detailed, professional, and true to my vision. I made sure every part was carefully made to match what I had envisioned. Initially, I wanted my film to be around 5 to 7 minutes in length. However, as I looked at the amount of information I had gathered, I realised that achieving this duration would be imposs...

FMP : Develop 2

During this week of development, on the journey of creating my film, I made a conscious decision to start writing a detailed script in my notes. These notes served as a means to capture my thoughts, ideas, and to create a script, with the ultimate intention of utilising them for voice recordings to be incorporated into my film.  Contemplating the use of an AI voice to aid in this process, I found myself combating with the idea of using AI to alleviate the challenges I often face when reading text out loud. While the prospect of utilising AI seemed promising initially, promising a smoother workflow and alleviating the struggle I have with reading from a script aloud such as stuttering, not speaking clear enough or speaking too fast, I soon came to realise the potential downsides.                                  One prominent concern that emerged was the risk of the AI mispronouncing certain words o...
