1. What skills have you developed through this module and how effectively do you think you have applied them?
Learning about colour theory has proved very useful, the things we learnt were really interesting and things i had not previously been taught about, what colours work together, what dont and why. I feel learning this will be very helpful in helping improve my graphic design skills and my outcomes.
2. What approaches to/methods of research have you developed and how have they informed your design development process?
Researching into colour theory, colour theory isnt something i used to think about when creating designs however now i research into what colour will work and experiment with colours to see what works and what doesnt within a design. Also using going out with a camera and taking photographs for primary research isnt something i would usually do however it proved very useful.
3. What strengths can you identify in your work and how have/will you capitalise on these?
I did allot of illustrative work throughout this module, mainly using the pen and path tool, i feel this is my strongest and most conferrable way of working which i feel i am quite skilled at, however i would maybe start experimenting more with my outcomes and try different techniques.
4. What weaknesses can you identify in your work and how will you address these more fully?
With things such as the hot dog fold book, i just kind of pushed that brief to one side thinking it wasnt very important because we had allot of deadlines around that time meaning that i hadnt managed to complete allot of research and development when creating my outcome and i feel my outcome would be allot better if i committed to them more and got more involved.

5. Identify five things that you will do differently next time and what do you expect to gain from doing these?
1. Not push visual language to one side to focus on bigger projects, putting more time and effort into outcome, development and research will definitely boost my designs.
2. Not leave things until the last minute, certain briefs i left until the last minute causing a mad rush to complete them not allowing me to spend as much time on a brief as i would of hoped.
3. Improve attendance, i missed quite a few tuesday sessions due to hospital visits and illnesses causing me to miss out on allot of information.
4. complete homework tasks asap, leaving the homework tasks and forgetting about them happened quite abit, would be allot easier to do them straight away whilst the things you learnt in that lesson are still fresh in your mind, instead of having to recap and read through notes, this would save allot of time.
