Module One Feedback

I was relieved to get through the first module having had to ask for a weeks extension to complete it. I passed with 71% mark so pretty happy with that. Thought the comments were fair and glad that the board for lighting was considered to be the best as this was the one I had spent most time on.

 
I definitely need to spread the work across the 3 months better next time. Image size and layout is something I need to work on and I now realize it is not necessary to cram a mood board with information to put across your design as I did on the objects moodboard.

 I knew I had concentrated too much on domestic interiors for this assignment but I had been pressed for time and this was the easiest to access. If I did this again I would have taken photos in hotels, shopping arcades, and museums to cover more primary research. Whilst this is a distance learning course via the web you do have to be prepared to get out and about to local cities for research purposes. I did manage to get to London to see the Barbican exhibition and 100% Design in 2012 and I am keeping an eye out for things closer to home. Unfortunately even a trip to the Birmingham NEC exhibitions is quite a trek from here but I am sure that is the same for a lot of the students on this course.
