Self Evaluation

• What have you learned?

I've learned a lot about new programs and how to use them. I've been really fixated on Photoshop and doing a bit of InDesign is really nice to learn, so I have more options for programs in the future. I also learned more in depth about the principles of design and how to incorporate them into design pieces to make them stronger.

• What have you struggled with?

Learning the new programs and striving away from Photoshop because I'm so familiar with it.

• What are you proud of? What are your strengths?

I'm proud of my design capabilities. I think I know what really works together and how to have meaning to my pieces. I'm mostly proud of my principle of design posters, and how they all come across different but has an element that ties them all in together. My strong suit is being able to communicate with the reader and show a pretty good design.

• What goals do you have/ what do you want to learn in Term 2?

Get comfortable with Illustrator but still be able to do Photoshop. I would like to possibly do a series of posters relating to WW1 or WW2 for Remembrance Day or for a personal series.

• What mark do you think you deserve? Explain why.

I think I deserve around 86% - 93%. I've really tried hard in this class when it comes to pushing designs, but still sometimes need a little work with them. I also get things done on time and tweak when I have time to do so. My designs could be a little more complex but I personally like simplicity, but I can always learn to push that if I need to! 

• How could you improve?

Get more complex with some designs and push boundaries.
