What is a Line! (Final Evaluation)

This is a remake of my previous Final evaluation (the other version would not register the last few questions) 

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

I have learnt many new skills throughout the project.  I have learnt to experiment with different media and also different size of resolution, big and small. 

What approaches to methods of research have you developed and how have they informed your design development process? 

My method of approach to research has changed dramatically, from what I used to do which is dive straight into the direction of a final resolution, now I start by looking into the meaning of the brief (in this case - a line) and as my work develops I constantly look through magazines, and on the internet for work which relates to mine, and there I try and find a new and original approach to my work. 

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

I have found that my strengths have come through at the end of this project.  I have realized that i can work well on a broad and larger scale.  I use design sheets instead of a workbook which I always used to do.  Towards my final resolution I have found my work is going more towards structure and architecture.  My final resolutions have always been successful but not always exactly what I wanted or was pleased with, however on this project, my final resolution (on the window) came as a massive success with great feedback from viewers. 

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

I have found that I was identifying my weaknesses as I went on with this project.  initially I had a problem with time management after my holiday over christmas.  However after failing a module and getting the determination not to do so again, I got motivated and started applying a lot of effort into my work.  One of my weaknesses is when I have an idea, I explore it, but then get bored of it and move on, this I am learning from, and I have learnt to exhaust the idea and any possible resolutions before moving on (unless I'm polishing a turd) 

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

1. Time management - even though I feel I have already addressed this, it is still a key issue which constantly needs working on.

2. When an idea is generated, explore it fully - this could help me work towards a final resolution or even point me in a better direction. 

3. Not hold myself back - I tend to restrict myself and I do not know why, if I stop doing this I could easily produce more work.  

4. Get a brief and get on with it - saving time, stress and gaining valuable marks.

5. Always ask a tutors support - even 5 minutes one on one can help my work go in a much better direction. 

How would you grade yourself on the following areas:

(5 - Excellent, 4 - Very good, 3 - Good, 2 - Average, 1 - Poor)

Attendance = 5

Punctuality = 5

Motivation = 3

Commitment = 3

Quality of work = 4

Quantity of work = 3

Contribution to group = 4

All in all I have very much enjoyed this project in the later stages.  I found that my motivation was very high in the last month and my commitment and quality of work was high.  The grades I gave myself above was what I thought would be my average over the whole brief.  If i had worked from the start like i did in the last month, it would have been all 5's.  Thank you
