Evaluation (See guidance below for more information)

You are required to write a 500 word evaluation of this module.

I started this module with basic knowledge and skills. On the first day, I was curious about what ‘visual language’ mean and what we are going to do in this module. Now I have finished it, I actually felt like I wanted to do more. I always so excited about getting a new task from this module. From making a poster of ‘How to use a pieces of rope’ to make three illustrations for the article ‘the iron mask’, and then to design a book cover. All of these three task are very interesting, I enjoyed it so much. The thing that I found very useful is blogging. At the beginning, I didn’t put anything on the blog. Apart from the fear of writing, I always feel like I have nothing to talk about my work. I make this in my work is simplify because I think it would looks good. But when I actually write about it, I have more thoughts that I thought would have. I starting to see some problems in work when I am looking through and write about them, and then I can write some critical and analytical thoughts in the end. I am not very organized, but blogging definitely helped me to being organized a little bit. I can review my work by gone through my blog. The other thing that I also enjoy is the feedback sessions. It is interesting to see others work and also hearing others opinion about my work and showing me what can I improved, giving me some advice that I have never think of. It is very useful, especially when I am struggled. Sometimes I get stressed. I struggled quite often during this module, not just because coming up with some ideas. While I am doing this module, I starting to realized some of my problem. Now I am still trying to deal with it. For example, I noticed that in my final outcomes (particularly the last two) I shown too many details in the drawings, I should simplify the image and reduce some details to more basic and simple shapes. I am still trying and leaning, I think I just need to keep on going through changes to become better and better. I still think I need to develop my own style, and also try use new media because I always stay in my comfort zone and don't want to take risk. I also wish I can think outside the box, try exaggerate the idea. Just do it, keep trying and changing. In addition, to be more critical about my work, finding the problem and fix it.
