This module has been a series of learning curves for me - it is the first time in which I have had to take my drawing skills and apply them in a more professional setting - it is definitely the first time I have had to consider file size, colour formats and bleed lines upon submitting a piece. It has been a challenging module that has offered me plenty of opportunities to ensure I am at least paying attention - but for as stressful as it was, I can in the least walk away from it knowing I have learned a fair amount from it. I have learned that time management is imperative; even in the beginning when it seems like the deadline is years away. I have personally took it upon myself in the past month or so to really focus on time management - to ensure that not only am I working to the final deadline but also mini deadlines and goals I have set myself.
Although I have been very put off by the amount of independence expected during this module, I cannot say I haven't benefited from it, and have spent much of the module discussing it with my peers in terms of which direction I should take, which specifications need to be met and how to meet them - it has taught me at least how to use the network around me that I have to my advantage, and has easily offered me a better understanding of digital media.
I feel where I fell flat was ultimately closer to the end - some of my final pieces I felt worked much better than others but I simply did not have the time to correct that and still meet the deadline. This module has taught me much, and though I found the subject matter interesting at the start, it has definitely taught me that boredom should not be an excuse to let my standards slip.
