Self- Evaluation for Age Uk Project:
The aspect of the project I found difficult was the communication with other member of Age Uk and the pressure it brings knowing that I am using his or she's memories to create a piece of Illustration work. After my talk with a lovely gentleman called Geff, I found it really easy to pick out part of his story that I can make into a really effective Illustration that incorporates Stockport's Trains, but still holding onto the most effective part of the story which is Geff and his farther. The turning point to my work was the discussion between my class members and what I found out from Geff, also what ideas I wanted to generate from the talk. This really helped me and my class member's gave me some great feedback that I can us to develop my working method. The feedback from my first draft image was very successful, we communicated more about how I can make the train look more like a train from World War 2 time, also how Geff and his father would look in the image and what materials would best be used to mimic their coats and pants in that period of time.
It is important to do this type of project becuase it adds more pressure on you because its not your story or a advertisement idea , it is someone else's memories of their family or an experience they had in their childhood. It also created elements of control and limits you in different ways and challenges your ideas.
