End Of Module Evaluation


This module has been a unique and interesting one for me as it has caused me to think about and consider things in a different light. It has opened my eyes to the world of individual practice whilst also teaching me a lot about myself. I feel it has opened up many possibilities for my future.

At the beginning of the module I struggled to get into the sessions and almost felt it was a 'waste of time' to sit and talk about time management instead of getting on with the actual work! But in the end I have realised just how beneficial these sessions have been to me and they have really helped me organise my time better.

For my A2 research poster, I focused on my hatred for the printing system and used this to create an almost 'rant' style poster in which I tore the system apart! I designed it with printing/computer glitches in mind which is where the visuals/patterns came from. I enjoyed creating this piece as it was nice to really let loose and have a moan about all my problems and issues!


For my self branding, I found it extremely hard at first to try and get into the project. I was embarrassed in a way to create my own identity as I didn't want to be see as 'bigging myself up' in anyway, and I also wasn't keen on focusing on my qualities. Finding out what people thought of me was eye opening but eventually formed the basis of my self branding and helped provide the content for what I was working towards. I was happy with my overall self branding for now, but I am aware this will change and adapt over time and through the years spent at LCA!

My design strategy presentation required a lot of work and reflection on the past 9 months - it really made me think about what I have learnt and how far I have come. It was nice to reflect on the ups and downs of the year and I have come a long way. I feel more grown up and developed as a designer, but again I am aware there is still a long way to go and I will be growing and evolving as a person throughout my time on my degree.

In conclusion, the main thing I feel I have got from this module is self-confidence - I have developed my presentation skills, learnt more about myself as a person and become more organised as a whole. I am looking forward to Personal and Professional Practice sessions in the future and seeing how much more I can grow over the next two years!
