Reflective Statement


Overall this unit has been successful for example my final designs for the rough guides I am really happy with it was different to design a graphic image.

I found the blog was useful during the technical blocks because I could look back at the photographs I added and actually stop to see what I made and properly analyze it. This has highlighted a major problem in my work process as I realize I never spent time to sit and reflect and actually think about what I am doing. I feel this work process can keep you on track and I plan to give myself time to analyze work throughout this course.  

The work in this blog and unit overall has been a step up from anything else I have ever done and I feel I am gradually getting used to this level of intensity and work. The theory tasks have been particularly challenging, in fact the theory tasks startled me a lot having not had much knowledge in any of the areas we studied. The academic reading for The System of Collecting Jean Baudrillard I must have read five times just to understand some of its context but I am glad I didn’t give up because analyzing Ed’s Toy Collection and looking on YouTube for collector videos was very fun.  I have learned so much since starting this course and looking back at my blog I think it is an accurate description of what and how I have worked and learned during the first months of my the course.
