Evaluation

1.  What skills have you developed through this module and how effectively do you think you have applied them?

one skills I have developed during this module is the ability to take a brief, and explore a range of ideas and develop through a range of experiments and research before coming to a final idea, this allows me to produce a vast amount of ideas that I could work with and develop. I believe this is a good skill that I have developed further from the other modules as in the past, I would have picked the first idea I had without developing it or refining it, however as I now explore ideas I have a lot more ideas flowing. The other skill I have found useful is the aspect of thumbnailing, creating many thumbnails also produces many a range of ideas to develop and develop. 

2. What approaches to/methods of design production have you developed and how have they informed your design development process?

At the beginning of the course, I initially just jumped onto the computer and started work, I didn't experiment, I didn't look further into my ideas before developing. I have recently taking the approach of having a little notepad that I carry around with me and with every idea I have, I just jotted it down, and wrote my development in this booklet, as I always had it on me, I found it easy to develop my idea further, and produce more and better work just by throwing it into this notepad, it was very useful to me during this last module.

3. What strengths can you identify in your work and how have/will you capitalise on these?

Strengths on my work is the ability to produce clean graphics with the use of colour and design, I will capitalize on these by doing the same design process I have used for this module and develop it and use it in the next module, making sure I create the best design to my standard and this will develop more completing more work and design.

4. What weaknesses can you identify in your work and how will you address these in the future?

Weaknesses that I can develop in my work is still the ability to manage my time, this module was a lot better than previous modules however I still need to work on my ability to manage different briefs at different times, this will benefit my work as each brief will get a certain amount of time and I wont be giving a brief more work and leaving a brief until last minute. This needs to be worked on to get the most out of my time.

5. Identify five things that you will do differently next time and what do you expect to gain from doing these?

1- More regular crits to allow more feedback and give me more room for improvement.
2- Time plan for different briefs to allow a more steady paced work production.
3- Tutor feedback, after the course I will not be able to receive feedback from them so I should get there opinion while I am still here
4-Create more and better quality design boards so the work is easily portrayed and informed on there.
5- Take more breaks instead of doing constant work and becoming run down.
