Looking back at the project I feel that I have learnt a totally new way of working. I have found it interesting working towards an idea rather than an actually final piece which has allowed me to be more ambitious and because of that, it made me learn new skills and a better understanding of things along the way. For example, I knew that choosing to take on the challenge of branding and planning an event would be a real challenge. I knew that it would make me look deeper in to aspect of design such as marketing and merchandising, to planning skills, such as a choice of venue and health and safety. All these new ways of working and life skills are essential if you wish to work within a creative industry so I'm glad I choose something that pushed me into these new territories.
Taking in from what was said in the feed back, I do agree that my event had a strong cultural theme. I chose everything from the colours, animals and the nature of the twisted design to communicate the key message of the event. I'm not one to judge but, I do believe that my idea came across clear to the audience which is down to the passion and confidence in my work. A key highlight for me was my youtube video (although I agree that the advert was too long) and it's an idea that I wish to take further with more time an planning for future projects. One of the major things that I'm proud of is my management with the time that I had. I must say I could have managed it better but I thought I did quite well taking into account the scale of the project I set my self.
As I said, I feel like my video was the highlight of the whole presentation. It has opened up new and exciting ways in approaching film making. I also learnt how far you and how powerful the laser cutter can act as a design tool and process.

So what went wrong? Well time was a major issue because I just ran out of it. I knew it would be challenge but every piece of new research unearthed more and more questions that would need answering but I must say that this idea wouldn't be created as an individual, it would be created by a team which leads me to my other regret. I wish I had worked more within a group, I managed to gain research via the Padlet, mind mapping and discussions but I feel I needed to involve myself in group more. Spellings are a major factor, I need to have things checked over by other eyes before giving it the green light. My timing was way off because I was repeating information that was already on the board. A more realistic budget would be important which would mean more looking deeper for information.
Another small regret was that I should have explored more possible routes before I decided to take on the challenge of branding and planning an event, but I do question the fact that would it have been as good of as an idea in the long run if I spent more time looking for a better one? Either way whats done is done and that small initial idea did spark my imagination which turned into various others, in fact I could have kept on going with it and developed more ideas to go with it!
Looking back at my process, I feel like it worked well. From a one small initial idea in the beginning, the idea managed to turn into various other ideas which supported the main one which came down to my confidence and trust in my own personal process, but I do regret not keeping it in one place because this sometimes added unnecessary confusion which led to the wasting of time, which could have been put to better use in the visual development.

Overall I'm happy with the new knowledge and skills I have acquired, I'm also pleased that I have gained a quality piece branding to go into my portfolio with a strong idea to back it up. I have highlighted some key weaknesses which only makes you stronger if you take the criticism and look to right those wrongs.
