Self-Evaluation
1. What skills have you developed through this module and how effectively do you think you have applied them?
Before this module I had never been taught about how to measure type an how to set up a layout on Indesign. Now I feel more confident using the programme and able to recreate a hand drawn design and apply it to a digital format. I find myself expanding my level of knowledge on the design programmes more and more. I have also learned more about colour theory and tried to apply it in my design work when necessary. I really enjoyed the frame and format project as I like how it started with something so simple and then progressed on to something more self-directed and different. I think I have started to follow this process more recently in other projects.
2. What approaches to/methods of design production have you developed and how have they informed your design development process?
As the layout and grid project was completely knew to me and I have learned so much from it I feel that the approaches that we were taught within it is definitely something I will do in the future. Creating a collection of different thumbnail designs really helps channel your ideas and you ed up getting a more effective and valid outcome I feel.
3. What strengths can you identify in your work and how/will you capitalise on these?
I think one of my strengths is being able to learn new skills quickly and apply them to the appropriate format. I think I am good at working with a group and contribute well to talks. Equally I am confident in giving advice others and receiving design advice from people on the course.
4. What weaknesses can you identify in your work and how will you adress these in the future?
I think overall in this module I could have done a lot more work and felt better with my final pieces. I feel that I really enjoyed my concept and felt it was strong but I didn't pursue it to its full potential. Another weakness is that I have a habit of not going back to things that I could develop thing.
5. Identify five things that you will do differently next time and what do you expect to gain from doing these?
1.Next time I would try to spend more independent time on colour theory as their is so much to it and i feel like I could really benefit on knowing more of the theory side.
2. As the module was longer than previous ones I found it harder to manage my time. Their were quite a few little things that I would forget to do. It may have been easier if I set myself mini deadlines to help me manage my workload more effectively.
3. Next time I think I would have liked to of got my what is a line printed with a better finish as I was not really happy with my final outcomes.
4. I would document my work more precisely and more often.
5. Would go back and recreate my typeface and make an alphabet.
6.How would you grade yourself on the following areas:
Attendance- 4
Punctuality- 4
Motivation- 3
Commitment- 3
Quantity of work produced- 2
Quality of work produced- 2
Contribution to the group- 3
