For the briefs, I decided to add some time to reflect on what I really wanted to do for this unit. I added this time to the Gantt Chart so that I have time to think about it, whilst being able to juggle other projects such as the photography unit.

​

For the Top Trumps card, I felt like it would be easy for me to come up with something that anyone can personalise and a lot of my class is going for the Top Trump card brief. I feel like originality is the best course of action. 

​

The penguin book merchandise is an interesting concept, but due to doing a studio shoot (for photography) and a book cover for unit 13 and unit 4, I feel like this would burn me out and I would not come up with another idea for something related to books. I know that book covers are interesting and I know that I can come up with very interesting merchandise ideas, but at the same time, my portfolio cannot showcase what I can do as a graphic designer and thus will lean more on the typography posters. 

​

I can also come up with my own typeface that can reflect any chosen issue as a whole.

​

I feel like this typography-led brief will be an interesting idea overall and could be something that is inspiring for everyone as I feel like being able to finally put my ideas down for a mental health charity or a place so that people feel like someone is listening to them is a good idea. 

​

The brief does mean that I would need to research a lot about mental health in general and would need to see if there are any original ideas already out there to support each other. 

​

This brief also talks about needing to have;

• At least 3 different posters

• At least 1 digital element

• At least one non-traditional touchpoint

​

I have already come up with some ideas for these different types of designs but will need to make sure that these ideas can be put forward.
