Evalution

1.  What skills have you developed through this module and how effectively
 do you think you have applied them?
I think my drawing skills have improved during this module, I hadn’t been doing a lot of drawing recently and this module got me back into it and helped improve my skills.

I also think my screen-printing skills have improved, I enjoy screen printing and always like the opportunity to use it in my work and get better at it. In this module I used it in my book works project as well as the type brief.

I also think my digital skills have improved as I completed some of the briefs on Illustrator and also used my graphics tab which I am just starting to get used to using.

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

I think my idea of image and how I approach it has developed during this module. I know think about the context my image will be in, not just seeing it as a picture in itself but how it works with its context and how it effects it. I have learnt that no piece of work stands alone, it is always in context.

I also think my approach to working has steered more towards collaboration after doing the book works project with Sadie. I enjoy working in collaboration and I think it helps ideas to develop and improves the final outcome. I think doing collaboration in something I enjoy with a like-minded person really helped in forwarding my development.

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

I think my strengths are in the type as image and book work briefs during these modules, they are the briefs I enjoyed working on the most. I also like that I worked with screen print in these two briefs, it is a skill I feel I have developed before and throughout this module and is a medium I think I will continue to work in and push forward.

I also think my strengths lie in collaboration, I find working with another helps ideas to flow and a high standard of work can be produced if you have 2 sets of hands and creative minds working on it.

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

I think I found doing the briefs in a week a bit of struggle, deciding on a final outcome sometimes proved hard and this probably impacted on some of my outcomes for the briefs. I think I need to push my ideas forward quicker and not spend too much time thinking about them. Also deciding on outcomes that are achievable in the time scale given.

5. Identify five things that you will do differently next time and what do you expect to gain from doing these?
1.Not leave it too long before I start my final outcomes so I have more time to let them develop change them.
2.Try out as many different processes and types of media within my work to find the best solution for my outcomes.
3.Document all my work as I do it so I don't have to go back and do it at a later date.
