1.  What skills have you developed through this module and how effectively do you think you have applied them? I’ve developed my illustrator skills and applied them effectively during the alphabet soup brief and also the partner typeface, where I utilized the software to create my name tag. My hand rendering skills have also improved due to sketching all of my designs before digitizing them.
2. What approaches to/methods of design production have you developed and how have they informed your design development process? I have developed my drawing skills which have led to designs which incorporate illustration as I have felt more confident with my hand rendering skills. I have also have been to different inductions such as screenprinting which has opened my eyes to new production methods which I have thought about when designing print work.
3. What strengths can you identify in your work and how have/will you capitalise on these? I feel that my research is strong and has led/will lead to more conceptual work.
4. What weaknesses can you identify in your work and how will you address these in the future? I feel that there is room for improvement in all aspects of my work, but I feel that I definitely need to do more work on colour theory, type and layout.
5. Identify five things that you will do differently next time and what do you expect to gain from doing these? More initial sketches to reach a better final product More critiques to better my chosen design Manage my time more efficiently to produce a larger body of work/ higher quality of work More research into type – better final outcome Try to cut down time printing research etc- do out of college hours
