EVALUATION

This brief was very good practice heading towards COP3, developing my skills and effective approaches to the documentation and communication of analytical, critical and reflective responses to source material. Understanding how to remain coherent in my argument and answering the question through thorough research. I feel more prepared to tackle COP3. As a question I initially was not even contemplating studio brief 02 but just finding a question of genuine interest to me. I believe the question I chose holds massive importance to the when and how graphic design is dominated by this consumerist culture today. Through research I have broadened my knowledge and have a deeper understand of the concept and history behind graphic design. Using my logic and research to effectively analyse primary and secondary resources to further support my argument as not just a theory but factual evidence to concrete my answer. 

In terms of the visual response I believe I have chosen a very well suited response as it ties in perfectly with my essay question. "What’s interesting about this is the irony of how political propaganda was so integral to the progression of graphic design, however today it has little to no importance with graphic design as a practice. This is an issue I shall be tackling in my visual research for Studio Brief 02." Understanding a distinctive problem in our culture today, as you can see this relates perfectly to my essay. So actually trying to solve a problem and reimagine a social media design concept was both enjoyable and challenging, as their are rules and implications involved. 

Overall I enjoyed this module as it has broadened my knowledge and enhanced my skills not just as a designer but writing skills as well.
