Throughout the course of this year i have definitely learnt a lot about the way in which i work, and what doe and doesn't work for my self as a designer. I'm aware that my best work is created when i am passionate about the subject, or engaged with the research; such as the typographic poster, which not only provided me with the opportunity to explore a new area of graphic design, through typography design, but also allowed me to create a piece of work with strong contextual links. Throughout the whole module my time keeping was vital, as I've been running a business alongside my studies, it's sometimes hard to find a balance however through creating a time plan i was able to clearly see what needed doing, ensuring i stuck to the plan. I feel as if i have grown throughout this module, from my first very collaboration with Tom in February, to finishing the module with another collaboration about to be released, i have not only learnt the value in collaboration with other designers but i now also understand the importance of setting a theme whilst collaborating, in order to maintain the visual cohesion of the designs. This module has really allow me to explore subjects that i am passionate about, and that i plan to continue to voice throughout my career, such as female sexuality, feminism and objectification culture, i intend to continue reading journals and books around these subjects in order to inform my contextual work in the future.
Although i feel apprehensive about finishing the degree, i feel confident that the skills i have learnt, and the contacts within my class will allow me to continue working hard, sticking to deadlines and creating work that hopes to make some kind of social wave.
