another one,

1. What skills have you developed through this module and how effectively do you think you have applied them?

I believe that i have developed many skills within this module, one of them not being critical studies.... however i believe my final resolutions on illustrator have become amazing in comparisson to previous modules where i used photoshop all the time and everything was all pixelated. Now rather than thinking illustrator as a task i think of it as fun! i also have developed skills on Indesign and can make double page spreads without a worry! i believe the best skill is that i have found how to enjoy things rather than think of them as a chore

2. What approaches to/methods of research have you developed and how have they informed your design development process?

i have developed a better understanding of research and have now understood it isn't just for informing yourself and becoming more aware to the brief at hand, but it is also there to back up your designs so you have statistical information proving your theory is infact a problem to be solved.

3. What strengths can you identify in your work and how have/will you capitalize on these?

My work strengths are that i am calming down, and this is shown through out my work, as i am not producing 100's of design sheets filled with crap but i am now judging things via quality rather than quantity. As i said before i enjoy this a lot more so i will carry on with this but try to make more quality work!

4. What weaknesses can you identify in your work and how will you address these more fully?

My weakness' s in my work vary, on the How to brief i did a map on how to do things although this was my first time productivly using illustrator, so admitedly its not a strong piece of work but is a giant leap from what the production could/would of looked like otherwise, also the video didn't turn out exactly how i wanted on some clips. but i can deal with that, i know for future reference.

5. Identify five things that you will do differently next time and what do you expect to gain from doing these?
- use my blog like i did in other modules
- produce more research to back up my designs
- record/document more data
- keep a diary of time management to prove it is being done
- Take time out of one project to ensure i spend time on my weak points (critical studies) as that matters more to ensure i pass the year. (learned from that mistake as now i am worrying 24/7)

6. How would you grade yourself on the following areas:
5 = excellent, 4 = very good, 3 = good, 2 = average, 1 = poor
Attendance 5
Punctuality 5
Motivation 4
Commitment 4
Quantity of work produced 4
Quality of work produced 4
Contribution to the group 4
