As I look at this module
that includes four units I would say that overall the unit has massively helped
my develop a designer and even though it didn’t span over an excessive amount
of time I can see a difference between my designing before and after the
module.
The first very crucial
aspect that the module delivered and developed in me was how it has improved my
designing skills across the board as it has allowed me to practice more with a
wide range of design solutions and experience more practice in to many
different medias whether this be through a physical leaflet or publication, a
branding exercise or finally some experience with web design.
As I have already had
experience with all of these avenues of design it was a chance to rather than
to complete briefs the way I usually would It would give me a chance to attack
a brief in a much more detailed way by filling in the small gaps in the unit
that I would usually miss out on and furthermore this more detailed approach
will have an added emphasis on the production choices that the unit will go
through to achieve a professional finish. This is vital in my development as in
the past with previous units I have been really happy with the final design
outcome but during the design stage I haven’t considered the pre-production,
production and post-production considerations meaning my designs that I
believed had gone really well ended up looking unprofessional as the production
lacked finesse.
The major set back that I
encountered throughout this module wasn’t anything to do with the design, as I
believe that the designing stages went quite well. The problem came with my
time management and how I went around tackling the brief, I spent too much time
on the designing stages of the final product that I didn’t plan my time well
enough that I ran over with the designing stage of the module and fell behind
with the blogging tied to the module as well. This meant that when it came to
the end of the brief I was too far behind where I should have been and needed
more time to catch up than I had and due to this wasn’t able to submit on the
deadline day. Due to this fact I had missed the deadline I would then be
deducted by 5% from my final grade and this is something that I cant afford to
lose from my grade and so therefore I will go in to the next unit ensuring that
I would plan my design stages properly and stick to the plan so that I would
stay on track.
