Final evaluation

For the project Souvenirs we had to create ten final postcard sized images relating to the theme. For this we could have our postcards as the actual souvenirs I decided to have souvenirs in my postcards. I created 10 images relating to different destinations around the work these included places like New York City, Japan and Russia amongst others. I feel that some of the postcards may have been a little bit confusing to some people but truly it was quite understandable.

I had originally decided to make a postcard for each destination so get 10 different location shoots, I struggled to this as I couldn't get ahold of the stuff so in then I decided to create two for both Russia and Japan but the remaining six were completely different locations which really helped the diversity of the locations in the postcards.

I think that a lot of the postcards came out really well mainly the simplistic Japanese card, the bottle cap one and the Barbados one are the ones I am most proud of as I feel that despite being very simplistic they do remind me of actual postcards which is exactly what I wanted to go for.

For some people the New York one may have been a little bit confusing but really if it was on sale in New York most people if not all would understand it. The only real thing is that no-one really knows anything about New York so that was a flaw on that part but in the city itself there would be little to no confusion over it whatsoever so I still think it is a good postcard regardless of what others have said about it.

The actual shoots went really well I did main shoots of Japanese and Russian items I got a large range of items for this shoot a lot of these images really helped me when it came to creating the final postcards which means that this photo shoot was vital. It was the main shoot of the assignment and I feel I would have really struggled had I not done this shoot but thankfully I did and it came out really well.

All of the other shoots I did were just compiled one as an evaluation of them as I took one or two images every so often, these were also a main part of the project and a fair few postcards were created by using these images.

Overall I would say that my final images came out really well and that I had no major problems during the project and I would say I enjoyed it and if I did it again I would focus on creating the final images earlier on and not leaving them to the last few days and spend the last couple of days doing the written work instead of the other way round. Anyway I am happy with my final images.
