working in my sketchbook

I think its a good exercise to show my design process by means of, before and after (the selection process will occur between, in producing a final outcome).

BEFORE

..and this is my final designs, on a somewhat less crowded and finalised page. It's nice to compare how I work. I understand that I work best working in my messy way, and thing picking from the mess the select designs/work to submit. Originally with this project I was trying to work very clean and neat, probably from influences of the people around me, but it really wasn't working out, I couldn't think. 

I guess this style of working (i.e. Rough > Final) helps me explore and not be afraid to mess up, it allows me to fully explore and expand on what I've done without the pressure of it being good. I then select the designs for my final 'collection' and present them neater.

Displaying my sketchbook like this shows me how I actually can develop from a selection of work, onto a final presented one.
