End of module
evaluation
Overall I
have found the context of practice module interesting yet challenging.
Throughout the year I have gained significant knowledge needed to complete this
module.
During the seminars I have learned
things that are extremely beneficial. I have never learned things about
semiotics before and I know feel that I have a significant amount of knowledge
about this topic. Connotations and denotations are another important branch
from semiotics, and I feel that after the sessions learning about this I am now
able to successfully conduct a semiotic analysis, which is something I haven’t
done before. I feel more confident when completing critical analysis’ and I
think writing the essay enabled me to develop these analysing skills. However
this was the most challenging part of the module, as I have never completed a
critical analysis sufficient enough for this standard. I would like to
capitalise on these skills, and develop this practice further. This will help
improve my understanding greater and hopefully allow me to progress these
skills.
The second part of this module
‘theory into practice’ I found very interesting. It allowed me to develop my
ideas into something physical, and interpret the key elements of my critical
analysis as a visual response. I enjoyed this part of the module, as I was able
to use the new production techniques I have learned while on this course to
produce a physical representation of my critical analysis. These include the
use of InDesign and also saddle stitch bookbinding. I have combined these
skills with something I came across when researching existing publications. I
am pleased with the overall final publication. I feel like I have produced a
good representation of my essay contained in an aesthetically pleasing book of
quotes. My small publication displays famous graphic design quotations, which
back up my main argument within the essay that fine art should not be assigned
more value than more popular forms of visual communication.
