Evaluation of collaborative work.

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

applied them?


Through this part of the module i have found that my skills in idea generation have developed. I generally struggle with this part of my design practice but i felt working with a partner ( at times ) helped produce more ideas but also gave us the task of being super selective and decisive which at times hindered the design process. I applied this by not thinking narrowly and coming up with a number of ideas based around our concept.


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

design development process?


I felt that we researched sufficient information about the BME but felt a trip would of informed us more and maybe have given's us more springboards for ideas. I also felt that i could of research into more advertising campaigns which would of helped inform my design decision's and also given me inspiration.


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


I felt that through out this brief i have made good use of my organisation skills and time management. At times the work flow became confused i think this was due to the concept problems we faced at the start of the brief but when things needed to be done we arranged appropriate systems and time tables to enable us to finish the work for our own deadlines.


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


Through out the brief i felt like i hadn't pushed my self to my fullest, i found it hard and difficult to work in a collaboration as at times i think communication was a struggle. I also felt that i couldn't work at my own pace which had a influence on my own work flow. To address this i need to be more organised in my planning and not fall into the trap think i will wait and see what has been done and then do what need to be done.


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

these?


1. Work at my own work rate and not fall in to the trap of waiting. this will help me create a amount of work i feel happy with.


2. I will be more decisive and and 'just do it' so i can make informed, and calculated decisions. This will help me develop my concept and act as a spring board for other ideas.


3. Create and stick to a time table, by doing this i will be able to deal with multiple tasks and briefs.


4. If working with a partner i will try and communicate more which will help the work flow and development of the brief.


5. Create more visual ideas and variation which again will help me decide on what work is most suitable for developing to a further stage.

Website development





















































Rough website i want it to be clear and non fussy showcasing my work rather than my website. I've linked in the colour way from my blog which ties in my identity as a brand. I still think there will be a few more version of my website before i decide on a final one.
