Exploration of techniques has been good throughout this module, this being visual language, its been good to truly experiment with my camera again, and create some interesting effects i didn't know I could do. Refreshing my mind with controlling the camera from the photography sessions has really helped to improve my skills and use my camera to its full potential.
What approaches to/methods of research have you developed and how have they informed your design development process?
My secondary research has been much better with this particular module, having the ability to just explore books and the internet for artists and designers. Since the beginning of the course I have bookmarked particular artists and designers for future reference and its really paid off with this research. The crits also have helped, recommending different pieces of work to explore and taking direction influence.
What strengths can you identity in your work and how have/will you capitalise on these?
Being a little more fluid with the development work, not really sure how pieces were going to work but just trying. I need to be more like this for other briefs. the research aspect has been really strong, my workload on the blog has grown dramatically and has been really useful to post internet research quickly and easily. Also my photography work, using my camera properly again for this first time in a while and creating some good effects.
What weaknesses can you identify in your work and how will you address these more fully?
The individual sessions with different techniques were the fall for me, not completing work to the standard I want and Missing one or two sessions really messed things up and my work has suffered. This work should of been completed on the day stated and I would have produced much better work. Its a shame really because the sessions themselves were really interesting and have benefited work since. For future briefs and modules I will address this and won't let it happen.
Identify five things that you will do differently next time and what do you expect to gain from doing these?
Address work for single sessions immediately, to not let them slip.
look after work personally. Photography studio work because members of the group who took responsibility lost documents.
Experiment more! Make better use of the time.
