END OF MODULE SELF-EVALUATION


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

I have learnt to not necessarily have a plan of where my ideas are going, but to let them develop and follow a path as I go along with it. I have engaged more with the brief, and researched more designers relating to my practise in more depth than I normally do.


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

I have tried to develop my research further than I usually do, in terms of looking at relevant designers and illustrators and just generally opening my eyes more to what is around me. I also took a trip to London and gathered more research that linked in with 'What is a Line' that helped me move on with my ideas process.


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

I think my work shows organisation and a clear path of how I got to my resolutions, particularly in the What is a Line brief. I explored aspects out of my comfort zone, for example digital software and visual representations of words, but I think overall I have managed these quite effectively and have learned so much from doing it.


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

I would have really liked to have developed my What is a Line further, as I feel there is so much more I could do with it in terms of scale, detail and colour. I also wanted to continue the perspective drawing work further, so it comes down to putting more time aside, next time, for an ongoing module such as this one.


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

- Keep exploring ideas, don't just stick with a few.

- Work on more of a variety of media and stock.

- Make sure long, ongoing projects still stay as a priority to keep on top of the work load expected.

- Research into more secondary research - always keep looking for inspiration even if I've got an idea.

- Use the blog more to analyse and evaluate my ongoing process.
