This has possibly been my favourite brief so far, I have loved it and I have learned a lot. I thought I knew a lot about dyslexia but after researching it so much I discovered a lot of things I didn’t know, and therefore I found out a lot of things about myself. I started off in a crit not know what I was going to do, all I knew is that I wanted to do something based on type, and then it came to my turn to talk and I just came up with this idea out of nowhere to make a booklet about dyslexia, and then after doing some ideas, I decided on a poster and I knew I wanted it to not be obviously about dyslexia, I knew I wanted it to have some sort of clever insight where people without dyslexia could know how it feels. So it is good that I stuck to that idea I think because I have a habit of changing half way through.

The app I admit was not thought about very much and I wish I spent more time developing it but I think It was a good idea to have for people with irlens syndrome as it helps people read and there isn’t any app that does this so it is unique and not something simply for entertainment.

The posters were my favourites as they were exactly what I set out to do, and when I first realised they actually worked by looking through the glasses I was so happy and I played on that idea throughout the book as well. The only thing I regret is that I couldn’t print them big because I was too late to book a print slot and I think it would have been so much nicer if it was on A1 sheet and much better quality.

The booklet I designed I had a lot of practise with type, which I really needed, and the main thing I wanted was every page to look like a set which it did. I had to also print this in 203 so I couldn’t print it double sided which would have been a lot better and also the was I put it together, the front cover is a lot bigger then the rest of my booklet but I had a lot of difficulty with this a the final book I printed was the 8^th copy, I kept gluing the pages or cutting them out wrong so I wasted a lot of time by making silly mistakes. I feel that the booklet could have had more information about dyslexia but I found it really difficult to put things into my own words, I guess it would have been nice to make it sound as if I was talking to the reader and made it more personal but writing isn’t my specialty so I feel I should of spent more time perfecting this.
