Self Reflection Self-reflection on module so far: Below is the assessment criteria of this module please answer the questions in relation to the work produced so far. – The extent to which research and analysis is evident in the translation of initial concept/s through to final outcome/s – The level of exploration and experimentation evident in the development of a personal methodology in Graphic Design; – The level of conceptual and technical skill evident in individual studio practice; – The level of synthesis evident between individual concept, form and function that is evident in the work. – The level of commitment and organisation evident in the development and presentation of a body of work. 1. What do you believe the combined objectives of the projects have been? To help us think about tackling different starting points in different ways, to help illustrate the variety of starting points and demographics that we will inevitably encounter in professional life. I think this module has been an opportunity for us to explore different ways of working and push ourselves to be creative on a broader scale and to push for better standards in our work.

2. What have you found most challenging about the work you have been asked to produce? To think more laterally and research the brief on my own. When I have done professional work, I have the opportunity to interrogate the brief and get as much information as I can from the source, that then directly affects how I will approach a task and give me parameters to work from that will ensure I meet the needs of the client. With these briefs however, I don’t have the opportunity to get more information from the source so it has forced me to do more and better research, this has then helped inform creative choices. It has also been challenging to think more laterally and to leave space in my designs for interpretation. 3: What questions did these projects raise for you? How I better my process so it is as creative as possible. How I approach the brief as an ideas generation exercise. How I can best execute my ideas to the highest standard possible. Is everything aligned correctly?
