OUGD601 - Dissertation - Module Evaluation

Overall this module has been a success from start to finish from my perspective from beginning to the end. The module has taught me very crucial traits and skills that I will take on further in to my graphic design career. It has been a very crucial learning process for me, firstly due to the fact that as a designer my literary and critical analysis traits are lacking in some proffesionalism and clarity and so it has helped me to further develop me overall skills within these areas. This has been further developed within my researching skills. Previously my researching skills have been undermining my theoretical writing due to the fact that in the past I haven't been as proficient at researching and so this has massively effected my writing skills as a designer. The final of my personals skills that it has furthered is my skills in time keeping and planning. Overall during past written investigation my time keeping skills have held me back in the way that the inability to keep to a schedule has found me behind and trying to catch up at every instance. Due to this for this investigation I added massive emphasis my project management skills in order to ensure that it is completed to the best of my ability and the need to catch up hasn't held me back.

The first aspect of the exploration that have advanced me as a designer is the written element of the module. Through the systematic analysis of different design aesthetics found within the world of fashion editorial I have developed a new skills for the identification of design aesthetic evident within graphic design but not only this, I have also furthered my ability to reason the extent to which these aesthetics are intentional implemented to aid contextual backing. The synthesis between the written and physical components of the investigation has enabled me to further advance my ability to fully investigate a research question from initial ideas to completion of writing and to how this research and investigation of literary sources can manifest themselves within the practical elements of a research question.
