END OF MODULE SELF-EVALUATION

NAME
Sophie Abell



1.  What skills have you developed through this module and how effectively do you think you have applied them?
The skills I have gained from this module are probably my craft skills, although I am not 100% happy with the final outcome, I feel the method and the practise has been beneficial, creating mock ups and planning how I am going to make the end product. I feel I have practised effectively creating different mock ups and styles within to practice the end product. I also feel as if my research has improved mainly because the subject I chose was so broad with different possible outcomes was able to make the end product more specific.





2. What approaches to/methods of design production have you developed and how have they informed your design development process?
I feel as if I took time to produce a varied range of packaging outcomes and creating mock ups allowed me to come up with a good concept. However I am disappointed with the final outcome primarily because the mock up went so well and when I replicated that for the final pieces the exact same way it didn’t work as well, which then meant I had to add additional methods of double sided sticky tape to keep it together. I didn’t allow enough time at then end to correct it or figure out why it wasn’t working when the mock up went so well. In previous projects. I have never printed stickers and that is something I wanted to do for my labels, which I think worked quite well.






3. What strengths can you identify in your work and how have/will you capitalise on these?
Concept. The concept I feel is the strongest part of this project, which has come from a strong range of research.  I will capitalise on this for future projects as I feel it allows the final outcome to initially be stronger because it has a clear purpose.
My time keeping has been a whole lot better then before, I think because I had researched and had such a solid idea it allowed me to feel quite relaxed and confident with the final outcome.













4. What weaknesses can you identify in your work and how will you address these in the future?

The final outcome. This has been the biggest headache for me primarily because the mock ups went so well in the development stages. I also think that the stock I have used was too thick, and when the card was folded it would rip, so although the mock up worked well I should have taken more time in thinking about the different strengths of stock I could have used to avoid it from tearing. I also feel as if I should have perhaps used a better colour, only because as the design needed to be handled so much when creating it then made the boxes look messy and untidy.




5. Identify five things that you will do differently next time and what do you expect to gain from doing these?
-Blog- Keep it up to date and make sure I am adding to it every time I am inspired by something.
-Stock-Create mock ups of different stock, including colours and thickness
-I feel as if I should have made more outcomes of different sizes and packaging that displays the packaging as a set. A Point of sale for example.
- Created more boxes for different illnesses
- Change the style in which the packaging because I feel although it was a good idea it didn’t work as effectively as I had hoped to keep it clinical.

The evaluation of your work is an important part of the assessment criteria and represents a percentage of the overall grade. It is essential that you give yourself enough time to complete your written evaluation fully and with appropriate depth and level of self-reflection. If you have any questions relating to the self evaluation process speak to a member of staff as soon as possible.
