1.
What skills have you
developed through this module and how effectively do you think you have
applied them?
I have developed an
abundance of skills during this module including; typography deconstruction
and reconstruction, precise typographical drawing, colour interpretation and
publication design. I believe I have thoroughly applied these skills
throughout this module through several tasks like birth of a font, where a
few skills come together collectively to assist me in completion of the task,
the reconstruction and precision drawing came into play the most as the
majority of the work consisted of creating hybrid fonts from existing fonts
and precisely drawing onto trace. My developed publication skills came in
handy as well towards then end of the module when we were set the task to
create 10 double page spreads.

2. What approaches to/methods
of design production have you developed and how have they informed your
design development process?
|
|||||
|
I have developed a
traditional approach to design through learning about Fibonacci sequence and
how to apply that to design by creating our very own page formats, I also
developed cannons and grids which are also traditional methods, these have
all been applied to my final DPS informing me on how to create a unique
layout and page format.

3. What strengths can you
identify in your work and how have/will you capitalise on these?
|
|||||
|
My design skills have especially
been useful and one of my strengths during in the ‘10 things’ task where my
design and content work in harmony to simplify the things that graphic
designers should know. My precision and obsessiveness was another strength
when it came to laying out body copy and creating layouts.

4. What weaknesses can you
identify in your work and how will you address these in the future?
|
|||||
|
A major weakness of my has
been my work load and leaving things to the last minute, these massively
affects the quality of my analytical ability and also my design ability
because I’m just rushing through my work to finish. I will address this by
keeping on top of my work when it is set and blogging after every session as
opposed to letting it all build up and getting stressed.

5. Identify five things that
you will do differently next time and what do you expect to gain from doing
these?
|
|||||
|
·
I would keep on top of blogging after
every session this will allow me to devote more time to the tasks as opposed
to rushing through them.
·
Next time I will do more development for design
tasks because I feel I have only done the required amount. This will give me
more design options in future and strengthen my final designs.
·
I will go into more depth with my
analysing because it will give me a greater understanding of the subject at
hand next time.
·
I could do more further research outside
of sessions which will also give me a greater understanding and enable me to
boost my views and opinions.
·
I could also practice more of the skills
required like precision drawing or binding techniques. This will massively
improve the aesthetics of my final designs in future.

The evaluation of your work
is an important part of the assessment criteria and represents a percentage
of the overall grade. It is essential that you give yourself enough time to
complete your written evaluation fully and with appropriate depth and level
of self-reflection. If you have any questions relating to the self evaluation
process speak to a member of staff as soon as possible.
