OUGD603 - Module Evaluation

This module has been challenging because of time management. Dissertations were being handed in at the same time as OUGD603 was getting started. I particularly as I had difficulties with my previous module. However, after getting over that stump, I found that OUGD603 was the most rewarding. It is the end of the year which means it is near the end of university. This means that OUGD603 has prepared me to set off into the real world which involves working with clients. 

A lot of positives happened for me throughout extended practice, I started off by working with Sam Rogan who I am now in a partnership with in a new clothing line that I have designed. A lot of my work has been client based, therefore, I got most of my clients involved into my university briefs as this gives me a chance to learn properly how to design design boards as well as presentation boards. After requesting some feedback from my clients they said they were all satisfied with their final outcomes and hope to use me in the future. 

I have learnt a lot from OUGD603; being able to work independently and as a team. Working with clients from Leeds to even abroad has taught me key communication skills as well as being able to email back properly to get more of a response. Most of my projects have been based on clients and this has given me some experience before I enter the real world.  I have also learnt new techniques that I have wanted to learn such as video editing to which I produced Euphorias promotional video for Secret Session. I have also worked with video editing throughout PPP and hope to pursue this hobby. 

I have enjoyed my third year as it has taught me a lot about the next steps after university. I believe I am ready to go to the real world and give my input into the design industry. Throughout most of my briefs I have kept my style consistant as well as working with clients needs. Although my style is monochromatic doing client work has taught me to use colour and to be able to get the right outcome for the client. After university I intend to continue with Graphic Design as well as moving myself more into Fashion Design. I feel that I have learnt all the techniques and methods that will give me the courage to go out and create my own clothing label/brand. 

Throughout my module feedbacks I have said that I normally focus more towards the end product. My work for OUGD603 is very research heavy which has informed my final decisions more. If I could go back and change something, I wish I spent more time on the final products as I could have been a bit more creative and experimental, however, working with clients and deadlines I am still happy with my final outcomes and time management throughout the year. My design boards have also improved since Amber and Simon helped me understand them more and helped me go through an old design board.  

To conclude, I am satisfied that all my clients were satisfied with their final outcomes. I also enjoyed learning more about the world through going out of my comfort zone and go help local homeless people. After speaking to some homeless people within the shelter I have gained some inspiration to go and create design that could help people. I also enjoyed working on a live brief with my parents as it gave me a chance to show my experience and knowledge that I have learnt throughout university.
