OUGD501 - Context of Practice 2 module evaluation

COP 02
Module evaluation

Doing my own question was really useful as it made this essay for enjoyable for me, it allowed me to focus on something I’m passionate about which spurred me to really dive into the subject and go into depth when researching.  I already feel that this essay is a massive improvement in comparison to last year, my writing has improved since then and the practical this year linked far better that it did last year.  Writing has always been a problem for me because of my dyslexia.  It was slightly easier for me to write 3000 words on this subject, as it is a big interest of mine and would definitely be something I would want to go into in my dissertation.
From this year I’ve definitely learned that gathering all the research makes it easier to produce the essay, I found it hard to start the essay but after collecting all the information helped the writing to flow, mainly because it made me more informed on the subject matter which in turn improved my writing.  Also handing in my essay early to get improvements helped me, a definite learning curve would be to hand more frequent drafts.
I decided to go into cosmetic designing for the practical part of this module, mainly because cosmetic brands are always the luxurious companies of the market.  At first I thought this wasn’t going to be as interesting as it was, because that style isn’t was I really go for, however it was very fascinating to actually apply my minimal style to a physical product.  The practical helped me learn even more skills: studio photography and packaging design/making. I feel my practical has been informed by the essay and shows the knowledge I learned through research.

In conclusion I am more positive about this module compared to last year, I have enjoyed the writing, research and practical side of this module and it has inspired me to go into this subject in the future.
