OUGD406: Module Evaluation

I feel this module has allowed me to develop my skills across an array of mediums. In this module in particular I feel like I have learnt and experimented with with a lot of things new to me.

I learnt how to screen print properly for my first time. This allowed me to appreciate traditional print more. It made me realise the effort and thought that goes into every print. As well as how wrong it can go and the how time consuming it is. But defiantly worth it when you pull up the screen. It has inspired me to spend more time focusing on hands on approaches to graphics next year.

I really warmed to penguin book project. After already attempting some book covers for design principles, I felt more confident with approaching this project. I feel my design layout improved dramatically. I married my photography and hand type I felt my cover suited and took a modern approach to classic novel. I would like to do more editorial design next year. Being more skilled makes me want to create some kind of magazine in second year.

The exhibition group project was the brief I least enjoyed. Although I felt I final outcomes were strong, I felt some members of my group tried to take to much control. This made the project feel a lot less like a group collaboration. Saying this I felt I developed my wayfinding skills and did enjoy the design aspect of designing the wayfinding.

Although the shortest project, my group film was the one I enjoyed most. It made me develop skills across film and editing. This area of design is something I’m really enthusiastic about and definitely something I want to do more of next year.


In conclusion, I feel this module has not only allowed me develop skills across new mediums and techniques but has forced me to churn out work a lot quicker. Finishing this year on this module has left me very confident with approaching the second year equipped with a rounded set of graphic design skills.
