1. What
skills have you developed through this module and how effectively do you
think you have applied them?
initially i think i have developed my primary and secondary academic research skills considerably. my understanding of observing the content i need to explore and know about, and then choosing literature, imagery, and other research content that informs me of such things has got much better. the library has been a very valuable resource and i have also imporved at selecting parts of texts etc that are appropriate to my study. the same is true for my approriation of primary research.
from considerable and in depth chapter planning i was more easily able to map out the progression and flow of my essay. this in turn enabled me to to write withg better wording, evoking of the themes and topics i wanted to dicuss. my writing and articulation skills have been developed also along with my vocabulary.
my hand rendering askills have improved considerably as a result of my practical development. my control of my hand and ability to use various sized fineliners have definitely got better. also becuase of my practical outcome my typesetting skills and familiarity with ornate lettering and caligraphy have increased.

2. What approaches to/methods of design production
have you developed and how have they informed your design development
process?
being that my practical outcome was hand rendered, and maintinaed this constraint specifically, i have developed my craft skills a lot. my cropping, measuring, stitching, binding, folding, mounting, and finishing abilities have all imporved and these have informed my process in that i now understand the procudure by which hand rendered publications can be put together.

3. What strengths can you identify in your work and
how have/will you capitalise on these?
my strengths lie in the hand rendering. i am a hands on person and work better on a craft basis and so have used these skills to inform my design decisions and produce my work.
i think that my japanese stitch binding skills have imporved a lot and i capitalised on these through the use of a good technique and produceing said technique well to come to a well and sturdy bound book.
my other strength lies in my hand rendered typographic skills of which i have been developing a lot recently. my undertsnaind of lettering, placement and aesthetic quality have meant that i can produce good looking type by hand onto stock

4. What weaknesses can you identify in your work and
how will you address these in the future?
the majority of cropping worked fine however i forgot to account for creep on the top fold where the thread would be stitched. i wrongly stitched prior to cropping and couldnt therefore crop the top sine of the book becuse of the bind. next time i will remember to crop the pages prior to binding.
while my planning was good i feel as though i could have planned my time better and from an earlier stage and could have then spent more time on quality of prduction and the reworking of the essay.

5. Identify five things that you will do differently
next time and what do you expect to gain from doing these?
1. plan my time for when im doing what better. begin planning from the point of research to the writing of the essay to the production of the practical outcome so everything is its absolute best.
2. spend more time reading and rereading my chapters so that i underatand better what i have written and the point im trying to make so that i can then rewrite it more articulately and more effectively for the argument and fluency of passage.
3. spend more time producing a higher quantity of typographic pieces so that my practical outcome would be fuler and more extensive.
4. make a greater consideration for the finishing of my piublication including creepo and crop so that my book is better finished.
5. engage more in primary research and consider the planning of my case studies more in depth so that they flow better and are more easily understaood and so that the information i am obtaining is more relevant and useful to my written work

The evaluation of your work is an important part of
the assessment criteria and represents a percentage of the overall grade. It
is essential that you give yourself enough time to complete your written
evaluation fully and with appropriate depth and level of self-reflection. If
you have any questions relating to the self evaluation process speak to a
member of staff as soon as possible.
