END OF MODULE SELF-EVALUATION

NAME	Sophie McDonald

1.  What skills have you developed through this module and how effectively do you think you have applied them? The ability to analyse typefaces, design layouts using grids, know the effects of colour. I have applied them quite effectively in this module, but I think I will be even better at applying them as time goes on and I get more chances to apply them.
2. What approaches to/methods of design production have you developed and how have they informed your design development process? I have learnt to sketch out plans of grids in terms of thumbnails and real size plans. They have made my development more organised and thought out.
3. What strengths can you identify in your work and how have/will you capitalise on these? Organisation in layouts – This has made my spreads very easy to follow and understand.
4. What weaknesses can you identify in your work and how will you address these in the future? Lack of trying new things – In the next module I will try to be less afraid of breaking boundaries and stepping out of my comfort zone.
5. Identify five things that you will do differently next time and what do you expect to gain from doing these? Blog my work exactly when I do it, which will benefit me as I can analyse it a lot clearer Take more risks, so I can learn new things Get more involved in class discussions
6.How would you grade yourself on the following areas: (please indicate using an ‘x’)  5= excellent, 4 = very good, 3 = good, 2 = average, 1 = poor
