Overall Evaluation For Semester One - Year Two
Overall I found this semester a great improvement on the same time last year. I feel that I have been able to do more of what I want to do as a designer and I also feel that I have learnt a lot and discovered a lot about me as designer. I feel that this semester played to my strengths and I found that learning the new programmes a good way to further reveal to myself what is possible. I have found that I do work better within the mac especially when using illustrator as a starting point. I think that maybe I need to try and break away from this style a little bit as I think it has given all of my work a kind of child like look. And although one of my pieces is aimed at children I think I need to work on making my style a little more sophisticated and less obvious in some ways. I have found that although I see a finished result in my head I can't always achieve it. I think that my hand based finished products require more thought on the printing producing side. I feel that I lack confidence in my ideas sometimes and so don't pursue the more out the ideas. I would like to do a project where I just forget limitations and go for something big. I have also discovered that although I notice mistakes after I take a step back and see the final outcome I don't tend to notice them when I am there and working on something. Because of this I need to learn to take five minutes every so often just to check through my work and maybe get someone else to proof read any bodies of text. I think this semester I have improved and have put much more into my work. I think the blogging has helped my a lot with organising and doing my research and I like to have everything together in one place. My aim for next semester is to give myself enough time to achieve everything I feel that I am capable of and not be limited by the time that I have left.
