502 Evaluation

End of module self-evaluation

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

During this module i feel that i have learnt a lot about the industry od graphic design, we have learnt about the what setting up a studio would be like and difficult it would be, this has helped me relies that when i graduate i would like to work for a studio rather than just for myself, as there is so much to do when being self employed. Lifes a pitch has helped me to think about the kind of people i would like to work with and which area of graphic design i would like to go into, and as i result of this i think my skills have improved.  

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

I think from doing tasks and sessions with john I have released that there are so many different areas of graph design which I could go into, this has broadened my mind and helped me think about what I would ideally like to be doing in 5 years time. For example when I did my bringing I thought i would be easy, but it was probable the hardest project I have done yet, as I really wanted to communicated what I did within my own practice, but I also wanted to communicate what I liked too. I did really enjoy doing this brief but as john said to everyone I think I will have to redo my branding. 

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

During this year i have become a lot more confident in my own skill, In first year i really stubbled when doing projects as I felt they were to quick and i couldn't find my own style, however his year through having more time and exploring more processes and ways of working i think i have become more individual in the way I produced design. I also think my presentation skills have greatly improved, even if they are still are not great I feel much more confident and relaxed when presenting tho the class.  

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

Layout is a huge weakness for me, I find it really difficult to be successful at this, hopefully next year I can practice more and develop my skills. Another weakness which I always struggle with is COP, anything which is contextual I find hard, the lecture I always get fidgety in and can't concentrate, so this makes it very difficult when coming to write my essays, and tasks.
