BA (Hons.) GRAPHIC DESIGN – END OF MODULE SELF-EVALUATION

Module Title: FEEL GOOD collaboration brief...



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

Working collaboratively I have established some of my areas of weakness which has helped me develop as a designer, I think i have learnt to be more precise and accurate and take time to perfect my final outcomes and this brief has helped me establish my areas of interest and the paths that I want to follow. I have been quite unsure of my specialist areas but I think I have more or less established them and I am going to concentrate on sorting out my placements for the summer now that I feel more confident.
I have tried to work more on developing ideas and research as those are areas of weakness for me and it helped the fact that I was working collaboratively.
A few small skills that I gained were basic skills on Photshop and Illustrator for instance short cuts and techniques.










2. What approaches to generating work and solutions to problems have you developed and how have they helped?












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













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










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

1. I would maybe choose a collaborative partner that was good at animation so that it would vary the work that I produce and I would gain more knowledge in that area.
2. I think that I would organize my time more effectively as towards the end of the brief we begun to get a bit stressed due to the work loads of other things that were running alongside this brief.
3. I think i would try and look into the concept of the gift idea more thoroughly and how it would be portrayed and in a shop environment.
