1. What skills have you developed through this
module and how effectively do you think you have applied them?
|
|||||
|
I have developed my
analytical skills massively throughout design context, at the beginning of
the module I lacked both knowledge and confidence to analyse in depth a piece
of design as well as I can now. I feel my analytical skills have been
thoroughly applied throughout this module especially through my essay and in
sessions.
|

|
2. What approaches to/methods
of design production have you developed and how have they informed your
design development process?
|
|||||
|
I have developed creating
publications because originally when I saw the word publication I instantly
assumed book and just cracked on with that. But now when I see or here
publication I have all different ideas of what I now consider to be
publications. Towards the end of a ‘brief history…’ it informed my development
massively because it enabled me to create something more unique and not just
another book.

3. What strengths can you
identify in your work and how have/will you capitalise on these?
|
|||||
|
I believe my obsessiveness
and attention to detail were strengths throughout the brief history because
when laying up the publication I meticulously aligned all text and strokes to
ensure everything was perfect. Which results in a cleaner more precise
publication.
|
|||||
|
4. What weaknesses can you
identify in your work and how will you address these in the future?
|
|||||
|
The main weakness in this
module is my blog. Every self evaluation I say I will improve my blogging and
I feel it has slightly improved through the year but no where near as much as
my design skills therefore I am going to devote more time to blogging and
keeping on top of it. My analytical ability is also lacking which could be addressed
through the use of more appropriate words as opposed to the ones I use now.
|
|||||
|
5. Identify five things that
you will do differently next time and what do you expect to gain from doing
these?
|
|||||
|
1. Produce more
thumbnails for layout and designs this will increase my options for
development due to the vast diverse thumbnails.
2. Not to be so negative
when things aren’t going how I predicted they would. This will keep
motivation and morale high which enables me to crack on without feeling sorry
for myself.
3. Not leave my blogging
to the last minute, this will free up time towards the end of briefs for me
to concentrate on the design sides because it does sometimes get slightly
neglected because of the rush to blog.
4. Explore more methods
of publications as opposed to instantly thinking ‘a book’ This set me back
and I feel restricted what I could produce time wise because I had to start
designing again as opposed to continuing with what I already had.
5. A major thing I’m
going to do next time is to not procrastinate so much, this really holds me
back and means I end up trying to power through everything at the last
minute. I believe that this will give me more time to focus on the entire
brief and vastly improve every area of my designs and research.

The evaluation of your work
is an important part of the assessment criteria and represents a percentage
of the overall grade. It is essential that you give yourself enough time to
complete your written evaluation fully and with appropriate depth and level of
self-reflection. If you have any questions relating to the self evaluation
process speak to a member of staff as soon as possible.
