OUGD401 - Module Evaluation
Looking at this module in retrospect I feel I have learn a great deal about the contextal side of design, this was my first time I have researched the contextual aspect of graphic deisgn in depth. Over the course of the module I feel have expanded my knowledge on a number of design related topics through a series of lectures, seminars and study tasks that will inform my practice and allow me to develop as a designer. I feel the quality of my outcome in this module is of a extremely high quality due to the depth of my investigation research and timescale I was given to produce my resolutions.
My research essay allowed me to devleop a hollistic knowledge of the social and political influence of graphic design. I specialised this to appeal to my interests which made the process of research more enjoyable. Coming from a background of English Language A-level I enjoyed the process of formulating my essay however had intila difficulty with harvard referencing and my bibliography as these were new skills to me that I now feel I can use confidently within critical writing. I feel the outcome of my research essay was of a high standard as it was planned and flowed systematically. I think I remained focused throughout my essay to ensure a indepth research essay that provided a clear resolution to my hypothesis.
I was initially apprehensive regarding the practical body of work to acompany my essay as I struggled to find a sucessful context and went through an extensive development process. I think my final design direction is informed and focused to relate back to my research essay. The aesthetic of my resolution is informed my primary research thus appealing to its audience, I am happy with my final resolution as I feel it is concextually focused, relevent to my research essay and developed to be engagign and approprate for an audience.
Overall I am happy with my progress through the module and my development throughout the year. I feel I have learnt an abundance of new essential skills that will be invaluable when developing throughout the course and into my dissertation. I feel I have a much better understanding of the contextual elements of graphic design and how I can link these to my practice. I feel I have worked well independantly through the course of this module, managing my time according and organising my own informal critiques and feedback. Due to the extended nautre of the module I have had the opportunity to extensively collate research and develop my essay to a strong professional quality andcreate a subsequent body of practical graphic design that is both relevent and focused to my research essay.
