Task

Task 2A:

Fig 1.1, Mindmap and inspo (20/5/25)

From the mindmap, I then started my first attempt.

Fig 1.2, First attempt (20/5/25)

Mr Vinod gave feedback that it didn't communicate the designer aspect of myself much so I decided to rework my idea.

Reflection

Experience:
The process of exploring my personality and translating it into my own brand was fun. Mr Vinod gave a lot of tips on how to think about our assignment and it really made it interesting. Being progressive in nature, this task needed lots thought and time management put into it. Feedback sessions were also really interesting as I got to see many of my fellow classmate's personalities shine through their key artworks.

Observation:
The feedback given was very practical and tailored to each student's ideas. I took some of the feedback given to my classmates and applied it in my own work as well. 

Findings:
I've realized through this assignment that brands do put a lot of thought into how they curate their logos and wordmarks and how they position themselves in the customer's mind. This challenges me to be more observant and think about how I can be a more intentional designer.
