Evaluation (See guidance below for more information)

You are required to write a 500 words evaluation of this module.

The moment I completed this module, I had one particular thought in mind: I wish I could have done more. After gathering everything and seeing all three projects compiled there were instances where I thought ‘I could have fixed that’ or ‘I could have tested and developed more on these’. Generally speaking, in terms of experimenting with media and processes, I felt that I wasn’t as willing as I thought when it came to pushing ideas further. One thing I would honestly tell myself then was: what else? However, I did feel content with the ideas and concepts I came up with for each briefs. I quite enjoy developing ideas despite it being challenging sometimes. I felt that I had unintentionally been working around obscure concepts, which tend to be very open to interpretation and it would depend on how I would approach it. Though I quite like the whole process of thinking and creating roughs, develop them further and see how much it evolves. I also thought that sketching these ideas down made it easier in terms of further developing them. There were sessions that I particularly enjoyed, such as the feedbacks and group critiques. I thought that was rather enlightening as I get to hear people’s opinions and thoughts, aside from my own and those who often sits next to me in the studio. I do count everyone’s opinions as they often made me reflect upon the work I had done so far, whether I could change or improve anything. Apart from the sessions, I quite enjoy blogging. I often use it to evaluate my ongoing work as I could express and communicate my thoughts better through writing rather than speaking. I would also advise myself to make the most out of my studio development time to actually develop and experiment. I could personally say that I have improved since the first studio brief. I suppose it was more of subtle improvements, such as how I approached the briefs and actually discovering abilities that I never knew I had in me. I started to realize that I quite like well-crafted work. I suppose it was a subconscious thing as I particularly pay attention in how it would look and the attention I put in each detail would be thought through. I honestly think that I am quite a meticulous person. I feel that I should loosen up and not be afraid of taking risks as well as trying things out, even if it fails or succeed. I still wish I could have taken more time developing, experimenting and create prototypes before committing to the final illustrations. I personally think that the final outcomes for each brief seemed similar in its process and tone of voice. Hence, for the upcoming modules and projects, perhaps I should be more critical of my work, spend time with it and simply to not be afraid of testing and trying new things outside my comfort zone.
