End Of Module Evaluation


What skill have you developed through this module and how effectively do you think you have applied them?

during the course of this module i have developed many skills, primarily perhaps, i have become much more aware of tone voice when trying to portray an appropriate message, in relation to the typeface used and layout. I think this was demonstrated most effectively on the last project of the module, the mail shot. As the tone of voice i was attempting to use was that of an informative nature. But persuading people to attend and event. The typeface i decided to use was high impact, and the important areas of the letter(where,when) were highlighted by use of colour. A use of colour is something that i have a higher degree of a preiciation for. Highlighting specific areas by the use of colour.
before this module started i also had no clue on how use illustrator, something now that i feel i can use at a basic level.

What approaches to/methods of research have you developed and how have they informed your design development processes?

Something that i have began to develop is my use of design sheets, on a bigger scale. Before my development was limited to sketch book work purely. the increase in size, has allowed me to track my development more effectively as my ideas develop. They have enabled me to pick more decisively the direction that i want to take with in a project.

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

The strength in my opinion, in my work lye in the development stage, i feel as if my ideas are strong, however when i have completed a projet i take a step back i feel there is so much morei could of done. this is most apparent in the french dinners ladies posters. As looking at propaganda let me to a good ides, however my technical abilities on photoshop ment that final outcome was not as strong as i would of hoped.

What weaknesses can you identify in your work and how will you adress them?

As explained earlier my weakness lye in showing what i want in a final outcome. i feel i am let down in my technical ability on photoshop etc? which means that i can not effectively portray my ideas, which i where i feel my strengths lye.

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

1.blog more often, this will allow me to keep on top of work and more effectively manage my time.
2.Time management with in a project,  i feel as if i spend to much time on development and as a result rush my final piece, better time management will allow me to improve on my final outcome, which i my weakness at the moment.
3.have 100 percent attendane as this will also me to keep on top of work, and not miss anything important.
4. Public speaking need to e improved, need to learn to relax more, ans this will allow me to demonstrate my point more clearly.
5. illustrator skills, this will make my final pieces  better. as will feel competent.

1. attendance, 4
2. punctuality 4
3. motivation 3
4 quality off work produced 3
5.quantity of work produced 3
6.contribution to group 4.

The Final Mail Shot And Evaluation
















































The evaluation  again is based around the crit.Which this time was not anonomus, however was in the same format. Looking at the final mail shot, it has become aparant that anyt further improvements should be based around translating the contents into to french. As during the project i thought it was more important for people to understand the  language used.

French Posters Final And Evaluation








































The evaluation for this project was done, in the form of an annonamous crit, i liked this way of criting as it gave an honet response to the outcome. Does the poster communicate effectively the fact that i developed into posters?






From the feedback i recieved it is aparant that the fact was communicated well, althoug i believe some of the design of the posters should be revisted at a later stage, especially the type based one. As the size of the letters are to small.
