end of module evaluation

From completing this module i achieved most of the key learning outcomes the i intended to. I intended to greaten my knowledge of publication design and also greaten my understanding of UI and UX design.

When completing the design for print brief, my book design expressed a greater understanding on layout, use of type and use of colour compared with the small publication that i developed in the first year. My knowledge upon binding methods, and choice of stock as greatened as I took into consideration the uses and qualities of the stock and if it was an appropriate choice for the books intended purpose. The most influential part of  the project was the feedback that i received at regular intervals throughout the design process. I found it very useful as the feedback was from my intended target audience which was important to the design as i meant that i was giving the audience a product that they liked and that they would find useful.

When completing the design for screen brief i was apprehensive at first i had previously not completed a brief or module for screen based design, because of this i found research was a crucial part that helped me understand what was being asked of me. Although i had even completed a similar brief to this before i enjoy this a lot more then design for print book as it was different to anything i done before. The considerations that i knew i had to keep in mind if the designs were appropriate for the audience, is the navigation efficient, are the icons recognizable, is this product/design need. By keeping these in mind throughout my design process it made the designing run smoothly and allowed me to make and efficient app, what i found to be needed.  

By completing this module i have found that design for screen is something that is of great interest to me, especially coding, this interest came from the brief lesson that Simon idea on the basics of coding at the beginning of the module, Because of this lesson i have purchased a book that goes though the basics of coding which i intend to go though so that i can learn more about it and hopefully continue to learn more in depth about design for design.
