DESIGN PROCESS I: Design model /evaluation

I really like this piece because of how playful it is whilst still visibly looking like a graph. I used 'graph paper' so it would also fuel the fact that it was meant to be a graph but more illustrative.

Worry is kept on the downlow because I always worry about my work, it never stops and I couldn't think of a way to make his scale bigger without ruining everyone elses spotlight, so I decided to lay him on the line to show that he is always there. With games, I showed that its eating my desire to work which is crumpled up. I put work besides it because I wanted it to struggle while the burn out wraps around everything until it crashes into my sudden motivation to work, which usually appears towards the end of the deadline. I learn how to give myself appropriate snack breaks which is shown by the smaller red bar, and then actually working non stop in yellow which seems so happy to of finally arrived it does a little twirl and hugs my motivation as a thank you.I enjoy the pressure I get towards the end of the project because it motivates me to finish my work more. I tend to worry throughout ALL of my project but to me that is a good thing. My worry keeps me grounded to reality and doesnt let my ego get high (for example because of my good grades,It doesnt make me think that ill get a good grade just because its happened in the past). My worry also settles me for disappointment if I dont end up doing as good as I thought and generally is just a good companion when it comes to actually creating the motivation and desire to work.

I think I aimed for this to look more like a story and a kids illustrated piece because I dont enjoy seeing serious, straight lined work because it makes it hard for me to concentrate. I aimed for a highly colorful and flexible piece because I enjoy seeing all this random stuff and actually helps me remember things better. I used a textured brush to also emphasize that it wasn't done in some program that created the charts but it was me. I went over to fix some things that appeared to be an issue like the color alignment because I figured it was too messy when the colors didn't line up.

Overall I really like this piece, though I hope that my working way can improve and I can comeback to this to recreate it with my new tactics.
