Evaluation and Reflection of the OLIO Module

The tasks for Olio in producing a visual illustration of a given proverb could have gone either way in terms of difficulty in terms of difficulty and luckily I was given a proverb that easily sparked some ideas in illustrating. Producing the presentation roughs for the proverb and the illustration cover was time consuming, considering the fact that it will take some time to finish creating the final artwork, I had spent more time than usual at the rough stage of the illustrations. This was to balance out the workload on the remaining time I have left when it comes to the finished pieces at some point later in the year. Doing quick roughs and hand those in for deadline would mean I would need to spend a lot more time in producing the artworks which could end up ruining my time management for my other modules in the next term or so.

I am confident with the ideas I had expressed for the proverb and felt they are strongly suitable as outcomes. While they somewhat look literal and not ambiguous, the artworks do show some connection to the proverb as a form of narrative (“God sends food, and the Devil sends cooks”). I could of have looked in a different direction in exploring the proverb, though the information outside the obvious may not translate as well for the visual ideas/design.  

I may have spent too much time on the presentation roughs (as they look like the final artworks) though I didn’t want to risk leaving it to the point where a lot of work needs to be done at a later time. This is perhaps the only thing that may have hindered my progression for the module, as I was probably being a little too cautious with the outcomes. Other than that, everything went well.
