End of Module Self Evaluation

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

I Feel my primary research has developed a fair bit throughout this project, although I got off to a slow start. In previous brief I have lacked further primary research that I have gone and collected my self, i.e. surveys and questionnaires, I still think I could have found more information and intend to in briefs to come.

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

Personally going out to find my own primary research has developed as I stated also categorising my information in order to find different direction for the brief

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

My main weakness’s in this project were time management, finding and committing to direction and finding and collecting enough primary research, I feel I sat back too much with this brief, as my tutors said most people have in the past and I definitely let myself down, i know now the more I pushed for information in this project the more direction I would have found although I said I have developed finding more research as a skill I know its something that needs developing further.

4. What weaknesses can you identify in your work and how will you address these more fully?

My strengths I feel in this project is presentation, I have taken colour, layout and composition into account a lot through the development, although by doing this I think I may have let my project down in terms of direction, audience and purpose, I have focused too much on making my designs aesthetically pleasing rather than a clearly stated purpose.

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

• Go out, collect and categorise as much primary research as I can depending on my time limit.

• Develop further ideas around my initial idea in order to create more opportunities for direction. 

• Develop my time management further in order to make the most of each project.

• Keep up to date with Blogging

• Look further for research i.e. not just the library.
