1. What practical skills have you developed through this module and how effectively do you think you have applied them?
During this module I have learnt how to bind a book using the perfect bound method. Unfortunately I do not think that my final book is as well bound as I had hoped it would be, which has meant the quality of the whole selection of work has been reduced.
I have also been trying to use photography a lot during this module, and have tried to learn how to use light when capturing the image.
2. What approaches to/methods of problem solving have you developed and how have they informed your design development process?
Research has been the main focus for this module. By identifying things I have needed to know and then actually finding out about them has aided me during problem solving a lot. Rather than just making presumptions about what the target audience would want I have actually attempted to find out, ensuring that what I produce is something that people would be interested in. During the research process, I have managed to find out other things that I had not thought of previously and so the research has then inspired further ideas.
3. What strengths can you identify in your work and how have/will you capitalise on these?
The research I have been able to collect has been useful and what I have found out has been applied to my work. This is something I must continue to do. Previous to this module I hadn’t used photography a lot, however I think that some of the photographs I have taken have worked really well and have really helped communicate the ideas I have try to portray.
4. What weaknesses can you identify in your work and how will you address these more fully?
Actually putting the book together has not been as successful as I had hoped. I think precision is a problem of mine and I need to be more considered about measurements. I spent a lot of time re-printing things due to wrong sizes and this is something I need to take more care over. The work I have produced using mainly software is nowhere near as successful as other work and so I need to put some time aside to practise using software more for when I need it, so that I can produce more professional looking work.
5. Identify five things that you will do differently next time and what do you expect to gain from doing these?
1. Keep all my digital files organised properly and backed up, so I am not worrying about where my work is or coming into college without necessary work.
2. Document what I have been doing photographically, in particular for group work. So that I have a record of what I have done.
3. Take more care over measurements, so I am not re-printing work and to relieve me of extra stress.
4. File each project as it ends, to save myself time at the end of the module.
5. Print this evaluation out and keep it in sight so I know what mistakes to avoid and what I am supposed to be doing to help myself.
6.How would you grade yourself on the following areas:
5= excellent, 4 = very good, 3 = good, 2 = average, 1 = poor
1 2 3 4 5
Attendance 4
Punctuality 4
Motivation 4
Commitment 4
Quantity of work produced 4
Quality of work produced 3
Contribution to the group 4
