I think through out this module I have developed lots of different techniques that at the start of this course I wouldn't have felt confident using at all such as paper cut and working into photographs to create finished illustrations, I have also become much more competent in some medias that at the start of the course I wasn't used to using such as brush pens and Photoshop. One of the things I feel I've become much better at over this module is problem solving and getting all my ideas down in a much quicker and a much more effective method, The main place where you can see this is the final brief we did where i worked on a large development sheet and I feel like it's one of the strongest things I've done so far and it's something that I intend to carry on using rather than where I used to retreat into my sketchbook I feel the larger sheets give me much more freedom. One of the things i'm most proud of in this module is that I've worked with a different media for my final piece in each project, This is a big change from the way I used to work where I would rely on fine liners for almost everything I did but changing from this has made my work so much stronger in my opinion. some of the strongest pieces that I've done for this module have been digital and this is something I definitely want to explore in my next project.
I think one of the initial weaknesses in my work for this module was that I would always do development work in my sketchbook rather than on a development sheet and I think this really hurt some of my initial planning, but I addressed this with my final brief and I feel my planning for this was much stronger in addition to working on development sheets I've also bought an A3 sketchbook so even if I do choose to work in it I have a bit more freedom. One of the other weaknesses with my work from this project is I do tend to jump from my initial ideas straight into my final piece but I think this is more down to time constraints, So hopefully for the next project i'll have more time to fully realize and develop my ideas before jumping in. Next time I also intend to rely less on brush pens in my development of ideas as although they help me get my ideas down quickly I feel like i'm becoming much too reliant on them as a media for ideas and I need to use a bit more variety. For my next project I hope to explore digital line work and line quality as we'll have more time to develop ideas i'll be able to explore this in more detail as I was starting to in the final brief. I think most of the things that I feel were weak or that I would have done differently were starting to be done by my final project as I was looking at my feedback and evaluations from the project before and taking it in to account for the next project and changing what needed to be changed in my process. The last thing that I feel I've really improved on throughout this project is the use of my blog as at the start i was really struggling with it i feel tha now i'm much more used to it I feel I have to spend less time working out how to use it I can focus on the brief much more.
Overall I've really enjoyed this module and I started to enjoy it more and more with each brief which I think really shows in my final pieces as I think they've become stronger and stronger with each brief we did and I hope to carry this on with the next module.
