Looking back over the brief I am happy with my self branding reaching the correct audience. I feel It had been tailored well enough to appeal to a more branding styled studio over studios specialising is other aspects of design. Although I do feel my branding booklet its self has lots of room for improvement, one thing I would change is I would actually create a booklet and use the orginal drawings rather than scanning them in. I feel I have not fully limited myself however to just branding studios, this is more just a focus. The porfolio zine is more versatile, It can be used as a base for my work of choice which can attract a slightly wider audience. For example I could screen print onto the a3 side of the sheet this would appeal to printing studios. As I would like to apply for work experience at a printing studio this would work in my favour. I am happy to say my logo communicates a bit of me as an individual, the combination of minimal design and connotations to the outside are both things I feel represent me as a designer however on the other hand I do think more could be done to evolve the logo and again is not perfect. Id of like to produce some sort of stamp which had important information on such as a website etc however I did not have enough time and when deciding what was the most important aspects I decided on what was going to actually help me get some work experience. Within my spare time I plan to make a stamp still. At the beginning of this project I found it tedious and pointless but as it progressed I began to understand the importance of the module, and actually really enjoyed it in the end. I will defiantly be adding onto my current identity through my own personal projects which are important to me as a designer. Within the project many things went wrong but all for the great good, as I feel like I learnt alot from this project. One of the main being a greater understanding of the digital print room. As my two resolutions revolved around this heavily I was using the digital print room frequently. I learnt the best method to create a booklet with there equipment. I also learn how to create in design files correctly to work within there. However I still managed to print out multiple portfolio zines wrong. This was mainly down to proof checking, first it being an orphan then second it being the wrong way around. My first booklet was completely off with each page a different size. I fixed this however with the guillotine. I really enjoy the identity branding side to this project. Although I felt I did not have enough to on it specifcaly. Things id improve on are defiantly the branding booklet I was happy with it but there was so much more that could of been done with it if Id of had the time. Id of created a website also.  On a whole this module as taught me to not be afraid of getting my work out there and that I need to begin to take advantage of social media something I currently do not use alot. Its also encouraged me to enhance my own pratice as a design away from college work, I will begin this with my sister hair dressing identity.
