End of module Evaluation- ougd104

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



through out the module i have developed further understanding of how the processes with in graphic design work and the theories behind them. Colour theory gave me an appreciation of colour and has enabled me to better understand the use of colour in certain situations, and how colour helps communicate a message. 
Grid and layout helped me in developing work through out the course, and has given me an appreciation of type and layout as a whole. The book fair project also helped be further my illustrator skills. 


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


as a whole this course has helped me develop my primary research skills, and has allowed me to have a deeper understanding of photography, and how primary research as a whole is crucial for the success of projects. 


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


the strengths i have began to see in work, largely start in the research stages of projects and taking these pieces of research and developing them into strong ideas, i think visual language as whole has improved my design process. I also believe that my illustrator skills have become stronger and i will continue to develop these through out other areas of the course as a whole.


What weaknesses can you identify in your work and how will you adress these more fully?


Time management is still and issue, i also perhaps need to be more experimental with medias, i.e. use print etc more. I will make a concerted effort to vary my use of medias in up and coming projects. 


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

1. Improve time management- this will allow me to develop ideas more fully as i will not be rushing around towards the end of a module. 
2. Use a variety of media-this will create more effective outcomes.
3. Improve decision making time- improve time management 
4. Develop the use of type and grid- creating a more professional outcome.
5. Find new ways to primary research.
