Project Management Post

I have discovered that in order to project manage - i need to see everything all at once - otherwise my memory is so shot - i forget what i've done, how i did it and all the prep / notes along the way....probably why I have ended up with so much work but hey ho!

In order to visualise my EP3 module as a whole I have made an (albeit late) attempt to manage the projects I have work for and completed.

Here it is:



Seeing my notes and work in piles having gone through every post it, slip of paper and all my development and artwork is like a brain sort out for me. I need to see things if they are going to get actioned!

I am not a sketchbook kind of person. Something about the beauty of the book and paper and how its bound - i just don't feel my work is worthy of that and forever terrified of making marks and then wasting such a beautiful book. Most of my sketchbooks are repurposed however - for their lovely paper - that way I work on lose sheets (often like my note taking) and build up a body of work that I can curate (and have the control over who sees) unlike a submitted sketchbook where all work is present unless torn out which can destroy the artwork, book, look noticeable bla. Complete control freak i know.





Working on separate sheets has its perks:

  • ease of scanning artwork, roughs, development and repurpose
  • ease of binning / amending
  • easy to layout all work at once and see development / areas of improvement
  • I find it freeing for my practice and approach to new briefs
