Evaluation of final task.

At first when I was given the Unit Brief I was excited that I could use my own ideas for the final project. I started to look at Equality & Diversity and it opened a can of worms and went off in all directions. My thoughts on the project then began to go all over the place, so I decided that the best thing to do was to research Equality & Diversity in books and on the internet. 

By looking and doing the research I was able to then put ideas down in my blog and on a mind map. I was finding that ideas where coming to me more after I had been researching but when I was doing something else like food shopping or driving! I have learnt from that as this may be when I am more relaxed and ideas come to me. At home I'm always distracted with motherly duties and housework so my mind is not that clear. 

I feel that parts of the assignment did go to plan and some of my other ideas for example using water and reflection wasn't going to work. I would like to try that again in the future or look into it more by researching how it can be done rather than just trying it on my own.  The use of the colours and back drop I had chosen worked well in the image and had the outcome I wanted although I would of liked to have used an older model for the shoot. 

If I was to do the assignment again I would probably stick more to my initial ideas and only consider looking at research that related to either Equality or Diversity and not the two together as there was too much to look at. I would of also arranged my final shoot a week sooner,  I had a deadline and I could have worked with the image more if it didn't go the way I wanted it too. 

I've really enjoyed planning the assignment and the process of putting ideas on paper or my blog has worked better. This process gives me time to think about what I want to do and its not just floating around in my head. I will use this concept for all future projects when working on college work or personal work if I have time to plan beforehand.
