During this module I have learnt how to bind a book using the perfect bound method, and how the process is far messier than japanese bookbinding. However, I did not use this method for the final resolution, it was a valuable experience nonetheless.
I have developed my skills in data processing and collecting, despite me not using graphs or charts, and only using spreadsheets, but I really do not like doing data processing, and I think its quite therapeutic.
I really think my research is my strongest point.
2. What approaches to/methods of problem solving have you developed and how have they informed your design development process?
The problem solving process for me has been a very long, twisting, turning, looping, and in some cases burning road. My ideas to solving the resolution was hard, due to ever changing rifts in my research and being unable to cope with flimsy pretexts considering factual basis. I found however, that once I had a book for the book brief (ha ha...) to use for the backbone of my research, the metaphorical juices really got going, however, due to constant time restraints, and lack of financial backing, my approach felt - not rushed - but hasty.
3. What strengths can you identify in your work and how have/will you capitalise on these?
My research is the strongest point in my work, easily. Due to the amount I could gather, my research just kept on growing, also I think the way I made a seemingly mundane topic seem interesting. I think this as the research I gathered was very statistical, and all examples of the limited material I found were mundane to look at, and the reader most certainly lost interest. I helped this along by making something - according to my crit - quite enjoyable to a large age group, the simplicity in my design would reflect this.

4. What weaknesses can you identify in your work and how will you address these more fully?
Well to start with the ongoing documentation of crits and such, as I merely documented it in my sketchbook. Also the development of ideas, and design concepts as my ideas constantly kept changing as well as my research, and this seriously set me back. Also the chance to experiment with stock and colour, as I just mentioned my research was really hard to focus on one idea, and the fact I kept on setting my concepts on an insanely high level (eg combining elements, so instead its 300 things instead.) I also think that i should have found a focus earlier on that meant I could explore the end product more, to achieve EXACTLY what I wanted.
5. Identify five things that you will do differently next time and what do you expect to gain from doing these?
1. TIME MANAGEMENT! I am aware of it now, so I can better myself.
2. Spend more time on my blog, as I feel it has not really benefitted from my efforts.
3. Take more care over format and measurements to save me money and time.
4. Always keep a file to document all crit notes, sheets and briefs.
5. Be better informed earlier on to save myself from being very very very very stressed.
+6. DONT STRESS AS MUCH.
