PPD EVALUATION

The pdd module the most effective module personally. It enables me to reflect on my skills and proffesional development in order to make my self more focused within my direction of graphic design. I have begun to understand my specialism of branding layout and typography with work experience ahead I am keeping my options still open to show that I have a range of skills and can adapt my skills to any area within graphic design.
I have gained confidence within my design skills and especially feel confident within these areas. Although one large downfall is my presentaion skills. I was overall disipointed with my presentation I had spent time visually presenting it well however my oral presentation let the presentation down. I feel that I didn't get everything I wanted to say across to my audience. I missed out talking about the relation between graphic design and my dissertation and my work experience ambitions did not come across as well. Within the third year and over the summer I intend to improve this with interviews and work placements I plan to ensure that my presentation skills develop to a higher standard to ensure that I get across to my audience all the areas that I intend to talk about.
My blog and been able to link other blogs my blog has been useful. When reseraching into work placements I was able to follow thier blog keeping updated of new work and achievements. Over the year I have become more organised as the deadlines become tighter. I found the 3 briefs at the end of the course a real benifit to the development of my practise as a graphic designer. As I could balence my time around these briefs. If i got stuck with one brief I continued with another brief. Ensuring that I used my time effectivly.
Reseraching into different areas of work experience realy but my design practise into context. It made me realy think about where I wanted to be within graphic design as I begin a developmental intrest within creative branding layout information graphics and typography.
I WILL ensure that I continue this development through competitions, blog research and own intiated briefs. Iwill ensure that i get the most out of my work placements to ensure that I learn as much as I posibly can to ensure that I am focused more determinded and motivated to aim for my ambitions and goals.
