I was given confidence in my design context blog but it seems that I was being pushed into a lot of branding encouragement regarding the Brownies brief. This is precisely what I didn't want to do and now I am doubting my briefs and not feeling too positive.
When a 'whatelse' comment was made of my book of 100 illustrations of ideas and a few make your own kits was given I felt sick. Yes a range is exciting and important but I feel rubbish about spending all my time making a book and thats it because making a book is another thing that I didn't want to invest my time doing this year.
Reflecting on other peoples briefs has also made me doubting and sad. I found myself having such happy thoughts and excitement and rushes of ideas with Dutch's briefs and not my own. However, one good thing has come out of this brief. When throwing a few ideas out for Dutch I have now got another mini brief of designing some 80s inspired wallpaper to feature in his rebranded Blue Rinse shop.
I think I need to tae control of my briefs-re assess the original thoughts of why I am making anything and throw in some quick pattern designs to keep my design mind happy. I need to make sure that next term I have some strict wallpaper designing briefs to tick a creative outlet box. But in the mean time I will try and keep my head screwed on.
