End of Module Self Evaluation

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

i have developed my research skills and obtaining enough information is and essential skill i learnt. Also choose a subject which interests you as i didn't and lost motivation towards the end. Another skill is illustrator and i keep develop my knowledge which has proven very helpful. But the skill that i have learnt from scratch is moving image and how to create video which i had no idea about before this term.

2. What approaches to/methods of research have you developed and how have they informed your design development process.

i have learn't the more research the better. its much easier to develop a project with a lot and extensive research to back it up is much easier to pursue. I have also learn't how to structure my research in different ways such as info-graphics, graphs or formal alphabetical order etc.

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

i am doing a good amount of development and doing more work. i feel like my work is visually appealing but not to my best standard which i want to improve on.

4. what weaknesses can you identify with your work and how will you address this more fully?

i feel like i haven't been inventive enough. i seem to be creating the standard poster, business card ideas which i feel doesn't show of my true skills. i want to pursue better ideas and be more adventurous next time.

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

1. i want to blog more oftenly instead and the end of the week. i feel like 2 posts a day would keep me up to date.

2. maintain work pace instead of having loosing motivation at the end which bring my overall work down.

3. work to my full potential and be more adventurous with my designs and ideas.

4. organise my briefs better. i want to keep on top of all my current briefs instead of leaving it till the end.

Collection 100 Evaluation

What is been communicated and how.
i am communicating my research in interesting ways to advertise a clothing company which is called The Krooked. i use info graphics to make my 100 research more interesting using things like graphs and charts to do this. i am generally looking to what extend can you arrange my initial work such as order and layout etc.

How well does it answer the brief?

this answers the brief i feel as i have used my research which relates to 100 and i had 100 photographs also. i chose Product and Promotion and i have achieved this as i have promoted using leaflets, posters, website, business cards and vouchers. in crits people could tell that i made promotional material so i have achieved what i set out to do.

How well has the idea been visually explored
i looked at a lot of different way of visually arranging my research through looking at other artist work, drawing and experimenting myself on illustrator. i feel i have done a substantial amount of work to come up wit my final designs so am happy with my outcomes.

What are the strenghts of the resolution?
My strengths are the amount of work it has taken me to produce final outcomes and am happy with the way my work has turned out. i also explored a lot of possibilities and different ways of promotion which i also like.

How could it be improved?
Next time i would like to make things look a bit more visually appealing. i feel i haven't shown off my true design skills so i would like to prove myself next time.

What if Evaluation

What is been communicated and how.
I am communicating the problem of there not much for students to do who are on a low budget. all the tourist guides are designed for tourist to spend money but there is a gap in the market as students don't have money to just spend on days out although we would like to go out and have a good time if we could. As a group we explore leeds to find interesting places for students to go on a budget.

How well does it answer the brief?
i feel that i have answered the brief we made a product and introduced it to the public to make it a live brief to see how students would react and if it is something that they would like and use. As a group we created logo's, product's and and event which would promote and advertise.

How well has the idea been visually explored
we Decided on the name Unseen Leeds, and found a few interesting places that we put on a map, this means instead of just telling people about the places we help them find them to. the map is engaging with a description on the places so you know what you are going to see. In this new modern ira students turn to technology more now than ever so we created a mock up of a free phone app which in an interactive map which has a picture and a description of the places as well as the map to help you find it. Finally to promote this we made posters which invite people to an event where we show people what we do and introduce them to our idea.

What are the strenghts of the resolution?
i feel we have produced some good work and it took well in the crits and when we took it live. the feedback we got was strong and something that our target market would enjoy and use. i feel its visually engaging and the ideas are strong also. i am happy with what we have produced.

How could it be improved?
As a group we didn't work well together we lacked communication and tended all did our own thing until when we realised that all our work looked different so we got together and eventually sorted it out. i feel we could of got alot more done if we worked as a team from the start as we had a strong idea it just needed a good body of work behind it.
