What skills have you developed through this module and how effectively do
you think you have applied them?
From the start of the year I have continually blogged everything I am interested in. This process has blogging has allowed me to keep a visual diary of which I can look back on. Just as a written journal I can see the change in my interests, opinions and thought - which is pretty interesting.
From this process I have learnt how to physically blog and format the blog posts. From even typefaces and sizing. This also translate to other blogs I keep which are not college related. I now network on Behance, Cargocollective and Tumblr.

What
approaches to/methods of design production have you developed and how
have they informed your design development process?
When I was creating the double paged spread which was for a chosen partner (Simon Isles) I tried to mimic what Simon was interested in into the design of the publication. This led me to designing a simple photo based spread with minimal text and editing. The idea was to show him off as a roller blade skater. This design was influenced by a sidewalk skate magazine style. It was hard not to over-design the spread but in the end I kept it really minimal. I don't want to say it but the, 'less is more' idea.

What strengths can you identify in your work and how have/will you capitalise on these?
The OUGD402 module has made me constantly look at current graphic design and has helped me understand what I think I am into from concepts to ethics within design and practice. My work is generally very ethical, which I think is a strength.
I capitalise on this process by continuing to blog design i am interested in. I will continue to have a record of design specific to my interests which I can keep looking back on and drawing inspiration for my own work. I have found lots of new blog I can follow and I hope I can carry on finding more.
What weaknesses can you identify in your work and how will you address these in the future?
From the OUGD402 hand in a have realise my labeling of posts is a bit sketchy. I will try to label my work appropriately and correctly in the future. This is only a minor amendment to be fair.

Identify five things that you will do differently next time and what do you expect to gain from doing these?
Next year I will have one standard template for every blog post.
I will only try and blog work with the artists names and name of the piece
I will use the techniques of drawing ideas in my own work
