Throughout this module i have learnt a lot about my self as a design and my self personally, i have realised it is a necessity for me to manage my time more effectively in many cases i have been known to leave myself a lot of work until the last minute however throughout this module i had worked so hard getting my work finished and producing it to a very high standard however i underestimated the time it would take to then put all of this work together for my hand in submissions i found myself struggling to get all all of the information together for submission.
However on a positive note this has been by far one of the effective modules for me in terms of increasing the quality of my work and it has allowed me to experiment with a lot of different areas within design direction as well as pushing this with many different mediums and definitely improving my skills within print.
This module offered me a great opportunity to work within areas of design that interest me and that i want to work within in the future. Branding and Identity was my main focus i wanted to really push this as far as i possibly could so i have based most of my projects within this module around this area of design. I feel that it is obvious to see that most of my time went into the creation my branding and Identity work. I feel it is obvious how much time i put into this area with the quality and how far i have pushed this area within this module. Another benefit of this freedom is that i have been able to look into advertising within graphic design this gave me the opportunity to contact professionals within the industry this not only gave me industrial contacts but it has also gave me and insight into how the proffesionals approach designs.
However the main thing i have learnt within this responsive module is from the collaborative brief before undergoing this module i would have never thought about working with someone with a completely different skill set to me. Working with Andy has been a real eye opener to me i found that working with him has shown me how although our skill sets are the opposite we where able to collaborate to produce in my opinion one of the most effective and innovative design out comes we have both ever produced. I feel that the main benefit of working collaboratively is that it gave me the confidence to push ideas that i would normally be to hesitant to propose. I feel this is obvious within the concepts i have generated within the Fedrigoni Brief and the Heinz 69 concept.
In terms of things id change about my progress throughout this module, is time management towards the end. I should have allowed myself more time to properly evaluate my work for the hand in boards. and even for the project report i could have gone into much more detail. I underestimated the amount i still had to do towards the end i will never make this mistake again.
Overall i feel that this module has been amazing for me in terms of the development of my skills when presenting my work professionally i feel this is down to the fact we where entering competitions within this module and this now means we can carry this on and develop these skills this will be beneficial for future pitches and future competitions. I feel from this module i have also now gained a great deal of confidence and i feel this is apparent with my design now. I feel that this module is something that will be carried on i feel that i will now look for competitions to enter and briefs to respond to.
