End of module evaluation

overall, within the two components of the module I preferred studio brief 1 due to having 4 briefs instead on one substantial. The 4 briefs used different skills and had different media outcomes, keeping the module engaging. Within these briefs I enjoyed the interaction with the clients and the outcomes which will be used for their companies. I also enjoyed having to work with themes which aren't necessarily of my interest or 'style' as this has helped develop my idea generation and to be more flexible with the briefs chosen as they can be adapted to suit my skills.

from completing this module it has enhanced my professionalism with communicating with clients, working together as a collaboration, creating presentation boards and following a timetabled schedule. From the module I have learnt that I enjoy branding and would like to continue this further and perhaps start a business.

The brief of which I deemed most successful and was most happy with was the Wonder book cover, the cover was developed multiple times and had continual feedback which was important to the success of the cover. The cover successfully conveys the book and represents the themes in the book with also still appealing to children with succesful use of doodle illustrations. I enjoyed tackling the brief as with being targeted at children it allowed me to use an illustrative approach but also allowed me to develop my other graphic design skills and take attention to the detail.

To improve the module more contingency time should have been added due to printing mistakes and cutting mistakes of which was detrimental to the final result. Also, I should have been more strict with time with the idea stage of the projects as this would have allowed more time to experiment. The final outcome of the zine could have developed and refined more also, with the final outcome not being as successful as it could have been due to bleed errors and cutting errors of which could have been sorted if I had planned in time to sort the problems out, which is a lesson learnt for the next module.
