BRIEF TITLE:
L’artisan Parfumer
Why have you chosen to work with your creative partner? What are your aims? I chose to join onto Hannah and Lisa’s partnership as I have worked with Lisa in the past and know from experience that we can work well together, and that although I have never worked with Hannah, I can imagine us working well collaboratively. I think all three of us bring different skills to the group which complement each other and will strengthen our joint design process. What are your specific areas of creative interest in this brief? I was drawn to this brief by the challenge of it and in my opinion, it would be a difficult brief to complete individually. I have never really worked on packaging designs before, but having seen the way Hannah and Lisa work with applying designs to nets, I think we can each bring a different skill into how we would complete the brief. Taking an existing brand and creating new packaging is something which interests me and I am excited to explore all the possibilities we could create. What specific design skills do you have to offer in relation to your chosen brief? How do you intend to use them? I work well with text and copywriting, and also Illustrator vector illustrations, which complements Hannah’s skills of hand drawn type and illustration, and Lisa’s skills of layouts.
What specific non-design skills do you have to offer in relation to your chosen brief? How do you intend to use them? Hannah and Lisa are both very good at time management and organisation which I hope will help push me and my input in this brief further. I feel as if I am one of those people who can work as a leader and also as a team member so I can adapt to the different roles needed in the group. What will your specific roles be in the collaboration in relation to your brief? I work well as a team member and will therefore fit in with however we decide to break the work up. We will work to each persons skills and divide the brief and workload up in terms of that.
What will your individual responsibilities be in relation to your brief? I will make sure I have documented everything appropriately, including my contributions and Hannah and Lisa’s contributions, on my blog. What will your joint responsibilities be? Time management, keeping each other organised and motivated, artwork/design work etc.
