Evaluation of Unit 7
All of my work for Unit 7 have been finished on 15th, April, this Sunday. It's time to sum up this tight but meaningful period of time because I have a big harvest during this time.
Firstly I am glad that I have achieved the most of what I set up in my project proposal for Unit 7. The four projects have been finished successfully and the effect of each final outcome has achieved the target. The work from each project could be a independent work with complete research, making process, reflection and evaluation. But four projects were based on one central topic which was about human behavior and our living environment. There was a strong connection between projects to they showed my intention finally with each other.
I did research for at least four designers for each project so that I could explore them in enough depth. During the study in Central Saint Martins I realized the importance of the research so I did them for myself not for any other reason. Research sometimes would influence my ideas creating for the projects because some famous designers would give me more interesting inspirations. According to these inspirations I might change some parts of my idea to make them looked better. Even sometimes they would influence my final outcomes.
I think the most successful things of my projects was that I always had some creative ideas about my topic so that my works could impressed audience a lot. Another aspect was that I like putting some connotative meanings in my art or design so they had a strong educational significance. But personally, I thinks my work lacked a complete making process normally so people might confused how I made them. By the way, I couldn't think out many ideas sometimes so what I could do was just pick up my final idea from three ideas probably. I suppose I will try my best to have more idea during the beginning of one project so that I will got more choices. A detailed and complete making process is necessary to be shown on the sketchbook. So I will improve my work on sketchbook in the future.
I think there are some work should be improved if I had more time. For example I was not very satisfied with the publication in Project 3 because the paper cuts in it were not very detailed. If I had more time, I wold curved them more detailed.
During the Unit 7 I have learned how to manage my work and time too. Although the time for each project was quite short but we could finish it perfectly if we used the time correctly. I have learned that I should to use the breaking times like on the bus. Another way to do the work with high quality is to cooperate sketchbook and workflow. I was glad that I have gained so much things during the Unit 7 and additionally it has challenged my independent skill so that I could finish the whole project better independently .
