Evaluation

This unit taught us how to follow a design method to create Apple Wallpapers for Apple devices. We imagined that Apple had approached us asking for designs for four categories; Nature, Texture, Culture and Abstract. We had to document our whole design process for each category either by a blog or sketchbook.

Following a design process helps you come up with better initial and final ideas and give you an idea of what has already been done before.

First, there is your general research, which includes research into the category itself, and the art/photography you find surrounding it. Looking at other peoples work helps you get inspired to create your own if you are struggling with initial ideas.
