PPP 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 and about graphic design itself. I have payed a lot of attention to trying to contact studios in this module, as I would like to gain a pavement or internship from it.  I have looked into  what setting up a studio would be like and released how 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, I  would like to gain experience first.  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?

This year I have been a lot more interested in producing physical work instead of just mock ups, I have released that there are many different areas of  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. When I did my branding last year I found it difficult, however this year I still did find it hard, but I think I knew that i needed to keep it open in terms of what I do. When I did it last year  I thought I would be easy, but it was probably 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. 

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 previous years really struggled  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 to the class. I think when talking about my work I can much more clearly get my idea across whereas in previous years i would feel embarrassed and shy.   

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

I think mocking up is a huge weakness in my work, I have however improved my photoshop skills this year, just by using it more and more, but they need need a lot of practice. I struggle with this skill but hopefully I can improve as i use it more and more and develop my skills.
