Last Module Feedback // Grade

Design Practice 3: OUGD 301 feedback.

"The level of practical and visual experimentation is good but inconsistent resulting in a body of work that lacks clear focus and direction. A more critically aware approach to the development of initial ideas would help you to exploit the potential in your work more consistently."

If I'm being perfectly honest, I was expecting a worse grade. I struggled to get myself of the ground for the fist module of this year and this has impacted my grade significantly. My inability to time keep and keep a record of this also contributed to the grade.

"A more organised approach to your studies would allow you to develop a more effective studio practice."

By definition I'm not a very organised person. I kept up the blogging and posting something everyday, even if it was just a small reflection but I clearly need to step this up. I need to be making action plans, (something I struggle immensely with) and my briefs need to reflect my design practice more because something clearly went wrong in the process for last module.

I liked the briefs for their character design aspect, I didn't like them for the applying to a range ect. There was so much more I could do, yet I didn't do this and the only thing I can blame is my poor time keeping abilitys, despite being in the study 5 days a week 9-6. This is something Lorenzo brought up today during group progress surgeries. I'm not a brief writer.

Despite being disappointed in myself I now know what I've got to do to make FMP work for me so my portfolio will reflect my design practice and my grade will reflect my efforts.
