OUGD405 - Design Process - End of Module Self Evaluation

In retrospect, considering the work I have produced for both studio brief 01, Way-finding, and studio brief 02, Information Design, I feel my confidence and capabilities in design have progressed significantly since starting the course. I haver found myself looking at aspects of design in a new light since being informed on more expert theory, such as theorem on line length, typographic sizing, type setting and analysis. It has been throughout this module that I have recognised and been consciously aware of new skills in analysis and understanding of design that I have developed. Though at times I have felt overwhelmed with balancing modules, my determination to progress further has enabled me to complete the studio briefs, having produced works that I feel have met the requirement ands expectations of both tutors and myself. The module has introduced me to a more comprehensive design process which ultimately brings more considered, relevant and effective resolutions to fruition via specification and more in-depth investigations into visual language and communication of the formal elements of design.

Though I have noticed progression in my practice since the first module, I am concerned that I will not be able to achieve the same, if not a higher, mark than that given for the previous module (70%).
My concerns regard a lack of different distinct ideas for both studio briefs, and also my designs-in-context mock-ups were not of the standard I wish I could have achieved as I could not render the artwork in the way in which we were shown in the supporting workshop. Achieving anything less than 70% to me will be taken as a failure due to my high expectations of myself.
