OUGD 406- Evaluation


End of module self-evaluation

  1. What skills have you developed through this module and how effectively do you think you have applied them?
The first brief in this module was ‘Communication is a virus’. This was a group project, which allowed me to develop voicing my opinions and working as a team. Even though we have done group briefs before this one was with people that I had chosen to work with. Sometimes, working with people that are your friends can cause problems, but we found that it benefited our group. This brief was the first time I had pitched an idea to a business in the environment. I feel as though I have become more confident with my concepts and talking about them to other people and adapting to situations. Each module has improved my illustrator skills, in particularly the briefs set in this module. The ‘Stamp it brief’ asked to work as a small-scale, which challenged my design ideas and made me work in a different perspective.

  1. What approaches to/methods of design production have you developed and how have they informed your design development process?
In this module I think I have become better at spending more times on design sheets and coming up with initial visuals and not rushing off to design the final thing. ‘Communication is a virus’ brief allowed me to explore the approach of interpreting something quite disconnected to the original starting point. As a group we all had different approaches and methods of design production but this is what made discover a few concepts before we finally decided on a final point of enquiry. The ‘It’s your choice’ brief allowed me to choose what brief I would like to revisit. I really enjoyed having a choice to extend a previous project. I think because we were able to take it in any direction I was able to really focus on the process of development.

  1. What strengths can you identify in your work and how have/will you capitalise these?
I think this module has improved my group skills and given me more confidence to pitch my ideas. I feel as though in this module I have managed my time well and have not felt as overwhelmed as I have done in previous modules. I think it is partly because I have found the briefs really motivating and feel more confident in my skills to complete them.

  1. What weaknesses can you identify in your work and how will you address these in the future?
I think I still have not really experimented that much with different outcomes and processes. I would really of liked to screen printed my final ‘It’s your choice brief’. I think I need to be more experimental with the media and stock I use. When it comes to my blog I still think I need to write more in depth and be more critical of my design. I also think it is important for me to be more selective with what I show.
