I feel that the main development has been with the quality of my work, i feel that from experimenting with effects and developing my skills within the Adobe suite, my work has progressed to a much more professional outcome aesthetically. However i know i have a long way to go, i feel that i have also progressed with my visual communication skills throughout this module i feel this is shown mainly within the 'its your choice' brief as i feel i have communicated the proverb effectively and as i aimed linked the posters to a select audience that is graphic designers.
2. What approaches to methods methods of design production have you developed and how have they informed your design development process
I have reacted to feedback that i have received from past module hand in's, i was informed that to develop my design development further i should draw a lot more and develop my work on paper before going straight into illustrator. I have also started to talk to my peers about my work a lot more, I feel that by speaking to my peers i have a second opinion on the work and this then informs me on how effective my designs are at communicating the message i aimed too.
3. What strengths can you identify in your work and how have/will you capitalise on these?
I feel that the main strength i have shown throughout this module is time management and organisation skills this has allowed me to work on the briefs without stress or worrying about problems with completion. This has also allowed me to spend my time much more effectively and i feel this is apparent in my outcomes for this module i feel that my work has progressed dramatically aesthetically I feel that i must now progress with my communication skills further to push my design.
4. What weaknesses can you identify in your work and how will you address these in the future
I feel that the main weakness within this module and throughout my time at LCA is that i have failed to experiment with different printing techniques and the basis of my work has all been digitally printed, I feel that i will experiment with this before coming back onto the the second year. Another weakness is that sometimes i am partial to decide on a format of an outcome before i have really developed the idea, this is something i must address from this point on. The last point that i must address is that i must start presenting other peoples and my own work much more professionally.
5. Identify five things that you will do differently next time and what do you expect to gain from doing these?
- Experiment with different print techniques - Giving me different options of print this can have different effects on the viewer for example traditional print methods can give the viewer a different feel for examples, traditional prints can feel handmade and give a personal feel to the viewer.
- Must be more experimental with design - Looking into postmodern attitudes to design as i am doing in my design context publication, this will give me different view points on design and effect my design decisions.
- Must present my work much more professionally - This will just allow people to see my work in a much more professional manor and will just give people viewing my work a much greater view of my work, as the presentation is sometimes poor.
- Push design development further to produce a much more explored outcome - this will stop me committing to a design outcome so quickly instead i will explore a range of ideas to look for the best design solution
- More self organised crits - by doing this i will then receive a secondary point of view i have already done this throughout this module and have benefited greatly from this. I feel that by doing this much more frequently i will be able to push my communication skills much further from conversations about my designs with peers
