End of module evaluation

Overall, this module has been helpful in learning key practices used in graphic design. With the learning of colour theory and grid systems, key theories of which can be used throughout all graphic design work. The colour theory publication allowed the learning of the theories and experimentation with the practical work, which was a fun task. The grid system publication allowed the learning and applying of how to uses different grids, which a transferable skill that has already been valuable with the use of using grids for design boards. The designing of the book covers helped me to learn skills of how to stay away from the obvious imagery when designing, with also how to use grids in order to create the layouts. The brief allowed experimentation with the use of different methods and styles of approaching our chosen books which was valuable and interesting. The limitations to this module was perhaps the research into designers and practices which could have inspired different techniques for the book covers. Also, perhaps more experimentation could have been done with using more imagery for the book covers, having more variations to choose from and to see what works best. Overall, the module has allowed the theories learnt to become transferable in the foreseeable future within my graphic design work, and has allowed me to learn how to use different techniques of design that strays away from the obvious.
