OUGD401 - Evaluation

Throughout this module I have learnt a lot, time management is key and the theory behind what we do is just as important as the physical work. When I submitted the draft for my essay I found out some very helpful things about essay writing as a whole. I haven't had to write in this style ever so found it quite difficult to adapt and change the way a write. Usually I write in a very informal friendly style and the essay could not be written like that. I looked up a range of sources on online articles from reliable sources but I found it hard to find any books based on the question I had, this is something I need to work on in the future. My practical work I did put research behind it but I'm not sure I put enough development in, I showed the development of the idea from a thought in my essay to a zine through to posters and how this could work in the real world but I didn't show each designs development. I didn't feel I needed to show the design development because that is what this module is about and I did but research in to back up my design decisions. The project as a whole has been more demanding than I first thought but I think I have learnt a lot of valuable lessons on how to manage my time appropriately in this field, what to expect in the future and how to properly write an essay.
