End of Module Evaluation

 Looking back at this brief and the task set, I believe I have delivered what was asked of me in terms of producing 3 fully screen-printed j-card designs, an object, A1 flag design and an exhibition brand as a group.

I found this brief manageable. The work load was good although I do believe that is because I’m not used to the workload and know what is expected of me. I also found the workload a lot easier to deal with as it has been the only module for us to focus on. Ideas generation at first was difficult with my initial genre, it was quite generic and didn’t have many quirks or interesting gimmicks I could play off for my ideas. My new genre was a lot better and gave me lots more to work with. My research stood me in good stead to kick on and develop a solid idea. Our group exhibition brand workload was manageable with a very quick turnaround.

The tutor has been around and are always available for advice when needed. He has been helpful and has given me ideas when needed which have helped me further develop my work. It was easy to ask for advice on what works best, and the crits helped me further my ideas also.

I feel the workload has felt a lot over the year due to the number of briefs we’re currently working on at once, it can be quite difficult to almost juggle all the briefs at once. There is frankly way too much work on at once to be able to concentre on cop on the timetabled days, there isn’t enough time when other briefs are pushed heavily.

If I was to visit this project again I would be better prepared with time management and make sure I’m consistently blogging as I feel this is one of things I need to improve upon the most. I would try to communicate better a group to discuss design decisions as some parts the exhibition I feel did not communicate what we were trying to achieve as well as we thought. The cassette tape brief I would go back and try maybe a different design style, maybe try develop more initial ideas and see if those outcomes are better or if some designs can be merged to produce a better outcome. I would also give myself enough time for screenprinting. Even though I’m happy with my outcomes, I’m not as satisfied as id like and maybe having more time to experiment with the printing would result in a better outcome. Although I’m happy with my outcome it’s always good to improve upon that and gather even more research to be able to develop more ideas and produce better outcomes.
