10 Things I would like to achieve by the end of the year...

10 Things I would like to achieve...


1.   To become a more confident illustrator.   


2.   To have a greater knowledge of designers to reference. 


3.   To have a greater understanding of type of design and its purpose. 


4.   To understand the importance of colour and where it should/should not be used. 


5.   To have a better grasp of different processes e.g. print.


6.   To be competent at using most/all the essential software related to graphic design.


7.   To gain more experience working within a group environment.


8.   To gain more confidence in my work and how to present it.


9.   To understand the different roles within a large or small group, to be able to utilise my own strengths.


10. To have a better understanding of my own perceptions of 'Graphic Design' 

Self Evaluation

What role(s) did you take on in the group?
Layout designer/presenter for final piece. 


How well do you think you performed in these role(s)?
I think the layout was successful, clear and informative. the presentation went well it was clearly spoken, I felt I answered most questions that were asked to a high standard. 

How well do you think you worked as a group?
As a group I felt we collaborated well all bringing ideas to the table and using our individual skills to produce a good piece of work. 


What were the positives of working in a group?
The design process was quicker with lots more input and ideas to work with and develop.  


What were the negatives of working in a group?
Sometimes it is hard to find time when everyone is available to work and collaborate ideas, therefore some ideas would take presidents.   


What will you do differently next time?
Have more time dedicated to working as a collective. the group would hopefully therefore create a stronger piece. 


Where could you have improved your resolution?
We could have created a more consistent design throughout the overall product. this making the layout and text design more tangible. 


What were the strengths of your presentation?  
The presentation I felt was clear precise and to the point of the needs and demands of the product itself.
