I enjoyed this module the most out of all the modules, this was because I had the freedom to select my own briefs. This has allowed me to pick briefs that will benefit my practice and portfolio. Out of all the Briefs my favourite was "The Saucy Fish Co." this was because I enjoyed collaborating with others - I also think we have a real shot of winning in the competition as our concept is strong and we have exceeded and adhered to the brief really well. Because of this collaboration it has encouraged me to pursue future collaborations.
What I enjoyed least of the module was the John Lewis brief, I think because I struggled with this I became really bored with it. After finishing it I realised that I should of picked a brief I felt more passionate about as I have noticed from this module the more passionate about the brief I am the more successful my designs are.
Doing competitions has been really difficult for me as I haven't has much experience with these in the past this module has prepared me for future competitions - I am also more willing to get involved with more competitions in the future. I think the thing about competitions that worried me was how topresent the work I have done. After this module I feel pretty confident in presenting my work professionally, I think this will help me progress into level 6.
I were to do this module again I would of chosen different Briefs, some of the briefs I really clicked with and others not so much the ones I clicked with were definitely more successful, so with this in mind I would pick different briefs that I know I will enjoy - I don't mean easy or less challenging but something I feel excited to keep going.
I feel like this module has helped me progress in other modules, it has allowed me to be more creative and less restricted although sometimes the freedom can be hard to manage the more I use my indendncy the better I get at it. I feel a lot more confident as the module has progressed and I think this has shown in my group work.
Overall this module went really successfully aside from the odd trouble with time management, I will continue to do competition briefs for my own satisfaction and development over the summer.
