1) What skills have you developed through this module and how effectively do you think you have applied them?
Time management
Working independently
Illustrator skills
I feel that all the above have been developed, perhaps not reaching a greater level of professional standard with them but defiantly developed upon. I feel i applied them all pretty well just at the wrong times and sometimes too late on in the designs.
2) What approaches to/methods of research have you developed and how have they informed your design development process?
I tried to use primary and secondary research through this brief but as i only travelled to Sheffield and Leeds this time I couldn't include all the research the work deserved. But I feel that if i had more time and used it more wisely I could have achieved a much more. As for informing my design it was very relevant for timing and distance that the research was there.
3) What strengths can you identify in your work and how have/will you capitalise on these?
I feel the designs are looking strong with nice colours and a good layout I will try keep this up with future projects allowing me to keep a nice standard throughout.
4) What weaknesses can you identify in your work and how will you address these more fully?
I feel that the lack of a working enviroment made me abit lazy and with t he weather being so nice iw a easily distracted by friends and family.I should work on time management to let me reach a certain goal at a certain time to allow more things to be achieved throughout the day without comprimising others.
5) Identify five things that you will do differently next time and what do you expect to gain from doing these?
- Time Management
- Try to achieve more bulk of work
- dig deeper into research ad let myself become engrossed witht he work
- show more of a passion for the designs
- keep blog updated
Looking at the above I feel this is something which once addressed it will be so much better for myself and working on briefs as its becoming more common for me to lose track of time and realise i dont have enough of it left to fully finish a brief to its full potential. The deeper I go into research the healthier and more real my final outcomes will feel. The last one is about the blog and i just wish i loved it as much as i do design work but its something i am working on I will try to keep updating everyday to show more of an understanding and more of a love for it.
