Evaluation of D and AD

Today, we had to create a new product for Internet Explorer which stops people from visiting sites that are regally used, and to start visiting and exploring newer one's. 


Well I've learnt that the outside world is not so kind! This was challenging, but I learnt how to tackle something quite confusing within the day - Instead of weeks! I found that I am able to create more concept art than I thought, which has made me more confident within myself. 


The point in this is to learn how industries are today, that you do need to come up with something eye catching and understandable to others around the world.
This is very useful for the future! It helps us prepare what is ahead if we carry on with the Interactive Media world. 


What's been successful is the ideas at work, what wasn't was what goes into it! It was a good idea, but it lacked in depth and needed a bit more to think about. It was a very simple idea, a newspaper as an icon to help make a faster more defined search, only I didn't look into the fact that it would not suit with the Internet Explorer's theme, so I would have to make it more modern looking. 


I've had good feed back, so I think my weaknesses are very clear, I need to think outside of the box more and figure out the very simple things within a product. I will learn by doing more research into something similar to the product I'm already creating and go more in depth and find what is best for it and what is not.
