END OF MODULE EVALUATION

I have finished the FMP with four breifs and one unfinished project which i will resolve in my own time, which is far less then what i set out with producing. However the briefs which i have resolved were considerable in size so i have had to produce a large amount of work for all of them. I feel the projects i have worked on have all developed my design skills and will help inform my desitions for future projects. I feel that i have produced work which is diverse so it will make my portfolio more interesting.

The major disappointment in my fmp, was not being able to finish some of the projects i set out to produce. This was due to the amount of times i swopped and changed briefs, this lead me to waste valuable time which could have been spent on projects which i proposed to complete at the start of the module. In future i will take on a more manageable amount of work which i can produce to my highest standards, rather then hindering time by taking on new work before finishing current projects I'm working on.

I have developed my skills in photography through the yearbook project which has also given me knowledge into using studio equipment such as flash lights and how to set up photography shoots. it has also given me an insight into how to manage considerable Art Direction jobs, while working on other projects, I feel confident in working on similar projects in the future.

Through working on the yearbook i have made more contact with printers i have gained a better knowledge of how to produce work which is realistic in terms of meeting the needs of a client and also working with the printer to get the best possible outcomes for the job.

I am mostly pleased with my design context book all the research and development work is posted on DESIGN CONTEXT PART 2

as I Feel the use of experimental formats and layout have been explored in the design of my book. Generation press have given me first hand experience into the highest level of production, this will constantly push me to produce work which will meet their standards and the standards of designers and agencies which they have produced work for. This has given me the aspiration to aim the highest i possibley can in the feild of design and will allow me to stive for perfection within my work.

i feel the J3d project has a good concept which is working, however i need to develop this project and fully exploit it, this project could have been exploited more for the FMP. I feel the speed i am producing my work is increasing, however i need to cut down some of my early development stages, and replace them with makeing quiker desitions to final resolutions. Which will give me more time for production and extension within my work. This will push me to work on a level which is realistic in terms of pace within industry.
