Module Evaluation

Overall, the module has been challenging but one of the best module since coming to university. From the start it was difficult to get started on this project due to other module needing more attention and focus. The decline for other modules were very close together that stumped my full attention and progress. The main benefit was figuring out the concept and rationale before starting brief 1 and 2. Even though I didn’t start any of the briefs I had a good understanding off what I wanted to do. It was good in terms of preparation as it saved me a considerable amount of time for when I had the time to finally work on it.

The main reason I enjoyed this brief was the flexibility and the openers of the both briefs. The brief didn’t restrict us in any manner as it was left up to us. The amount of openness aloud me to work on certain topics that I’m currently into and find exciting. The Bauhaus movement was an obvious choice as my chosen topic area for brief 1. I had used Bauhaus for inspiration for a number of briefs this year and through that had gained a lot of appreciation for the movement — so to focus curly on the movement for the banknotes filled me with excitement and drive which made the whole brief thoroughly enjoyment. As I was enjoying brief 1 so much I made effective use of research, normally I wouldn’t find research very interesting to do and often saw it as a burden but because the I was interesting in the subject, research become an opportunity to understand the movement further. At some situations I ended up researching the movement personally for my own enjoyment which shows my fascination. 

Brief 2 was such a fun brief. Picking a political subject around Donald trump allowed for me to fully attack and insult Donald Trump for the disgusting man his was. His views, comments and policies are all very dangerous and damaging to the America if Donald trump was to become president in 2017. It was clear from the onset that producing a digital resolution for this brief was obvious. It was the area of graphic that I loved and enjoyment the most. Ux/Ui, two subjects that bring out my passion and drive to make a resolution that excels and demonstrates my commitment to Graphic design. I ended up revisiting existing skills from responsive in which I learnt from working on the User experience and user interface briefs. After effect was the main skill I eating to improve within. After effects, a software that I began to learn in responsive and since then I felt as if  the software opened me up to a lot of opportunities that before has restricted me to take digital design to the next level. It allowed me to produce resolutions that were more interactive and more visual to present. Overall, I feel what I had produced for this module is something I can be proud off, work that I can use as strong portfolio pieces, that demonstrates the passion I have for digital design as well as the current fascination with the Bauhaus.
