PPD Evaluation

I feel that the ppd module has become of a great advantage the help with our portfolios and placements has been great support. the portfolio groups have been at an advantage as now i have the ability to create a proffessional looking portfolio. i have been able to work out compositions and layout where the text goes and subtleties.

i feel like i am now confident in doing crits and presentations infront of a group without getting nervous and loosing track of what i am trying to say. The personal reflection presentation is a great oppertunity to not only explain what i have learnt to the audience but also reflect on myself and talk fluently what i have gained through year two.

i have found i am focussed on package design and rebranding therefore this is the main focus for year three. this will enable me to create a proffessional portfolio with the correct elements and information. For my dissertation i am going to look at packaging and how it effects its buyers through the designs, this will also be a good choice because it is at my best interest and i will then have more knowledge on products and packaging.

EVALUATION - THREE BRIEFS

the briefs i worked on were the faber and faber book project, 78rpm mp3 song lyric and the type factory brief. the briefs were a challenge because never have we had to manage three in such a smaller time limit. usually we have had five weeks to occupy one brief.

the aim of this was to settle a detailed timetable to organise the projects so i had enough time to spend on each brief. i had started to plan a timetable then i had different problems which i couldnt help that made this quite a challenge. i found that certain projects had to be squeezed into my time that i had left. the type factory brief was the longest and i had much more work to show for it. the song lyric i had developed a decent amount of work and a fairly decent outcome. the book project i decided to work on a two day brief with the adequate research i needed and the design work was done digitally then the photography as taken to produce my boards.

the briefs were developed in a shorter timescale than i had wished however i was happy with the designs and the developement work was also fairly consistent. i believe that the work i have is at a fair standard however i can easily produce a lot more work in the time given however it was caused from my absence.

overall i believe the work submitted was adequate for marking however i know there is always room for improvement. if i was to rework on the briefs i would certainly change my timetable skills and share the workload evenly through the set of briefs.
