 Module Title
DESIGN SKILLS


END OF MODULE SELF-EVALUATION

NAME
Molly  Goggin



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

I’ve developed my skills of thinking why I’m doing something. I look at designs I’m making and ask if something’s necessary or if the context of the thing is appropriate. It’s important to understand why you’re doing something and who will see it etc, so understanding the context Is really helpful. This module has definitely made me think about this kind thing.



2. What approaches to/methods of design production have you developed and how have they informed your design development process?

For the publication brief, I definitely thought of context in line with my design. Because the publication was about Constructivism it was appropriate to rely this information visually as well as in text. I did this with constructing a publication in a Constructivist way.

Research for the essay was really important and I think I did my research quite thoroughly in order to make my essay a good piece of writing. 




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


I think because my publication idea was quite ambitious I didn’t know if I was able to do it but the fact that I did try and didn’t give in to the second idea makes me positive I can try more ambitious things in other modules.

I also think my research and knowledge of Russia really helped me with my essay. So I think I already used my knowledge to make the essay easier for me, but by using it for a publication it also made me learn more about Constructivism.

So I think in this module I have used the research and really put it with the context or the publication and made it more of a thing than just a book or series or posters etc.










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

Time management for this module went out the window a bit. I think because it is a slow going yearlong module it quickly catches up with you. So although I got everything printed and done I did have a panic and had to make another publication in case I couldn’t hand in the main one. Although the smaller one does coincide well with the build a book.
I definitely will make more time for the module and make sure I have to print with extra time if anything goes wrong.




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

Time management – book printing slots in a lot earlier – less stress
Question tutors more – If I’m a bit stuck, I should ask for help – more ideas etc
Organisation – Should organise time to go over first brief before hand in
Research – research for publication and how to create it wasn’t as thorough as possible
Run crits – within class I would of liked to run student lead crits

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.
