What skills have you developed through this module and how effectively do you think you have applied them?
For the don't panic, vogue brief I worked well with a limited amount of time. I found I got my posters done quickly. For 'Communication is a virus' I worked well being paired together with someone else. My partner was Naomi and we worked well together as we were both punctual and we both discussed what work would be done by each of us and got it done with no problems. We decided to screen print for part of this brief which we made sure we had enough time to do as it does take a long time. For 'Speaking from experience I managed my time well by using timetables and giving myself a certain amount of time for research, resolution, blog etc.
What approaches to/methods of research have you developed and how have they informed your design development process?
For 'Speaking from experience I did a lot of research on cartoon characters and developed my own characters. Through doing this research I found I no longer wanted to use illustrations for my work as they weren't working. By doing this research it helped me come to this conclusion.
For both 'Speaking from experience' and 'Communication is a virus' I made a questionnaire and sent them online and gave them out. This was a really useful way of collecting research.
What strengths can you identify in your work and how have/will you capitalise on these?
I have improved on managing my time through timetables which helped me a lot so I will using this method from now on. I have done a lot of variations for my work which helped me decide which works look the best, I will also be doing this from now on. I have improved on posting my work to my blog and posting work that has inspired me and given me ideas to my design context blog.
What weaknesses can you identify in your work and how will you address these more fully?
I have been analysing my work more in this module, more towards the final brief but I would like to improve on this further so I am going to give myself more time evaluate next module.
Identify five things that you will do differently next time and what do you expect to gain from doing these?
Give myself more time to analyse and evaluate my work I would therefore has more time at the end to finish things off.
Keep my research ongoing rather than more at the beginning and not as much throughout. This would give me a broader range of research.
Ask for more help when printing my work off. A few pages from my comic book for 'Speaking from experience' came out wrong, I ended up wasting a lot of time and money trying to reprint these correctly.
Get all my work printed out the correct size to fit the brief. My vogue posters are printed in A3 when they are supposed to be A2 because I didn't have the time to print them out bigger in the print room.
Give myself more time to correct mistakes I have made. Also whilst printing my comic book I realised I had made a few mistakes on the book and the stickers. I managed to correct these mistakes but unfortunately I couldn't reprint the stickers.
