Self Evaluate


Self Evaluation My main area I have trouble with is PESTEL I find the concept of having to find a trend from PESTEL research sometimes difficult and will unwillingly have a trend sometimes before I have researched which makes the entire process that bit more of a challenge, trying to work backwards. Once I have identify and gathered valuable research to back up by trend I am confidence in progressing to the next stage of the project and bringing together my ideas. I have developed a stronger sense of layout and formatting since my first year and take considerable time and effort into making sure the layout is consistent throughout my finale projects. I have become confident in InDesign and Photoshop yet still lack skills with Illustrator. In terms of creativity I feel this project has been a positive progression of my creativity and I have produced a project, which I am particularly proud of. I would say my downfall is time management, which is something I seem to struggle with in particular my research book could have been time, managed better. Overall I am happy with my project.
