SELF EVALUATION

1. What have been your successes? 
I have really enjoyed the projects that i have done in viscom and feel that i have come out with some good portfolio work.
I have learnt to use sketchbooks alot better than i used to at school
i have started using alot more techniques such as collage and improved my drawing style/technique.
 
2. What have been your frustrations? 
I sometimes find it hard to come up with an idea.
being un-organised with work and equipment.
 
 
3. What have you learned about Vis Com?
There are alot of possibilities and pathways you can go down most of which quite interest me,
such as graphics advertising, film etc.
 
 
4. What have you been affected by in Contextual Studies? 
I like the lectures in contextual studies and always find that they open up new ideas to me.
 
 
5. Have you done anything that you consider to be about Vis Com (in its broadest sense),
that was not directed by the course?
 
6. What are you reading?
a book called Design on the highstreet which was for the last project i did.
 
 
7. What were the last 2 exhibitions you saw? Would you recommend them? Why?
I recently went to the saatchi gallery to see the collection there was a very good installation in one of the rooms at the back, which was basically a big mirror so it looked like there was a big drop beneath you and this was definetly worth seeing.
Christian Marclay "the Clock" Although i did not see this at the whitecube because i found out about it too late, but i have seen clips of it it is a really good piece of video art where he takes parts of films which feature a clock and the effort and work that went into finding the clips and editing them together must have taken ages.
 
 
8. What have you seen, done or experienced that has intrigued or enlightened you?
I have enjoyed the most recent project i did with shopfronts, and through that i have looked at Ed ruschas work
 
 
9. What are your four college choices? Briefly explain why you have chosen these courses/universities.
-Chelsea
-LCC
-Camberwell
-?
i like the look of the chelsea graphics course and i enjoyed the talk on it i found all the work very interesting
for Lcc i like the fact that media is incorporated with graphics annd the fact that there is an advertising pathway.
