Upon receiving the feedback of VS I was pleasantly surprised. I was not satisfied with my performance in FVL 2 and was thus expecting a lower score.
One thing that was unanimous across all the feedback’s was my engagement. I love interacting in class with my tutors and peers and expressing my opinions, My positive attitude towards feedback and constructive criticism, as Well as my willingness to improve, along with my punctuality and constant timely submission also adds on to my credibility.
My reflections, though decent, failed to express my deeper thoughts and insight. This was one of the major gaps in my approach to term one and did affect my ability to convey my designing thinking process as well as my ability to tap into the unconscious thoughts and draw out inspiration. Along with this my explorations when it came to digital skills were not adequate and could have been supplemented. This directly affected my final outcome as well.
Fortunately, the term 1 feedback can help me improve the outcome of the 2nd term. Firstly, I would want to work on my reflections and writing skills. I need to make deeper connections and carefully assess the pros and cons of a situation. For this I’ll be watching video and reading books regarding the art of writing and expression of your thoughts. Secondly, I would like to use, explore and manipulate more tools on the digital medium. I will achieve this through independent practice of the different software’s in use. Apart from the digital medium, I would also like to take this explorative approach to all the other project and try new techniques like isometric drawing. Finally, I would like to improve upon my design terminology. This can be easily done by listening carefully to the faculty during the sessions and writing down the terms as used and explained by them.
I believe that the only way of judging your improvement is via your own self. I am my biggest critic, so if I can please and impress myself with my improvement then I would regard that as a success.
