End of Module Self Evaluation
NAME SAM METCALF
1. What skills have you developed through this brief and how effectively do you think you have applied them?
I Feel from this Unit my skills on Photoshop have improve dramatically and I feel comfortable using it now. I have produced all my work using it except for the vector task, I feel it is fast becoming a tool I will use all the time when I need it.
Also the use of a dip pen and ink, I have started to use these all the time and really like the effects you can produces with these, the amount of different nibs is fantastic and all of them have a world of possibilities, definitely a big game changer for me.
2. What approaches to/methods of image making have you developed and how have they informed your concept development process?
Sketching ideas over and over again working out compassion how the image is arrange. Using pencil crayons to add colour gives a great indicator to weather the colours I’m going to use are going to before I spend too much time on the final images.
3. What strengths can you identify in your work and how have/will you capitalise on these?
My use of Photoshop has helped me active effects that I would otherwise not been able to do or if I had done them taken loads of time and materials testing and making. I feel that I have found a new tool in using Photoshop and will capitalise on this by using it more frequently and just keep learning and developing to further my practise with I wider range in my tool box
4. What weaknesses can you identify in your work and how will you address these in the future?
I found illustrator to be a real pain to use and way too fiddly of me, this had a real impact on the final images I produced as I could not do what I wanted it to do . Practiced put in loads more time getting to understand the tools and how they work and watch tutorial video’s to further my understanding on how the program works and the tools it has within it.
5. Identify five things that you will do differently next time and what do you expect to gain from doing these?
1. When using a new program like illustrator start off with simple ideas don’t choose complex images that have way too much detail for my level. I feel this would benefit my final images with better results and build my knowledge of how the program works at a better.
2. Check the measurements properly in the very beginning. This will not make me make loads of work that takes pressures time to produce only to have to re do it as it does not work at the correct size.
3. Don’t just think about ideas with different new methods try them out. This could lead me to develop into new areas and get better results then my tried and tested safe I know what I’m doing processes that I know what the end result will be.
4. Try adding bits of text big or small probably hand drawn. Could add a new element to my work with key words, verses or sayings that could be connected to the subject.
5. Research a lot more in to the subject at the start of the unit. With better knowledge comes greater visual power.

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.
A copy of your end of module self evaluation should be posted to your studio practice blog. This should be the last post before the submission of work and will provide the starting point for the assessment process. Post a copy of your evaluation to your PPP blog as evidence of your own on going evaluation.
