Evaluation

End of module evaluation.

I think that this evaluation could be one of the most important summary’s I have made to date to help guide me for my Final Major Project. I’ve been thinking about evaluating my work for the last two weeks. The work that I have produced for hand-in is all right but is lacking that creative spark or cutting edge which I’m after for my portfolio, but this work is finished now, and it is important to identify where the projects have lacked good design to prepare better for my FMP.

I think that over the summer I found and made ten briefs that I thought would be good for me to answer but quite a few of the briefs lacked clarity and a list of deliverables. When I started them I worked round in circles, running around without taking time to think what I was actually doing. The briefs I shall choose for my FMP will be well put together and have enough clarity and depth so that I can keep focused more for how I answer the brief. I have already wrote three over the last 2 weeks which I can’t wait to start. I think that I need to be productive with my time rather than busy.

Also I think I rushed to try and get four projects together and through this I missed out the design ideas rather than sitting down and taking time to stop and think to evaluate my work and enjoy my work again.

This evaluation might be negative but I want to be proud of the work I produced and I think the last few months work isn’t bad but it’s my turn, as a third year and I want work to be proud of, and show a creative spark within my work. I’m so glad that I’ve done these briefs because I’ve learnt an awful lot and its put me out of my comfort zone and I’m confident from doing these briefs and learning about my own design practice my FMP will be a strong finish to my degree.
