Wearing Your Heart On Your Sleeve: Self Evaluation

How well have you responded to the given brief?

I feel that I've responded well to this brief. I completed all of the tasks in depth and participated in all the group critiques. I made sure to consider all the points listed on the brief when designing my product and I also reflected upon and evaluated each stage of the design, experimentation and making process.

How broad has your research been? Have you undertaken sufficient research?

I feel that I have undertaken sufficient research for the given brief. The project was more about making than research but completed research into existing charity products, my chosen charity and sportswear once I'd decided on my design.

Have you used your reflective journal and sketchbook as an integrated part of your project?

My reflective journal and sketchbook have been very important to this project in terms of idea generation and decision making. My reflective journal has allowed me to consider my ideas carefully before making a decision and my sketchbook is where I have recorded all my ideas through drawing, images and annotations.

Have you been motivated and well organised? Have you worked as hard as you could/ should?

I have been very motivated for this project as it's something very personal to me. I think I have worked as hard as I could, however I wish the project was longer so I could spend more time perfecting my outcome.

Can you prove your commitment and organisation through entries in your reflective journal, timetables of planning documents?

I created a timetable for this project, which I stuck to. I have made many entries into my journal through the entire process, showing that I've been on time and committed.

Have you finished the work that you set out to achieve or progressed beyond what you set out to achieve?

I did complete the work I set out to achieve and I'm proud of what I completed in the two week time scale. However, I wish the project was longer so I could have made the top to a standard I'm extremely proud of.

Are you confident that you are able to make informed choices and decisions when solving problems?

This project has shown me how to be inivative when solving problems. Fabric Land didn't sell any mesh fabric, which I needed for my design, so I solved this problem by going to Primark, buying a garment that had mesh in it already and dismantling it.

Do you have evidence of a sustained and committed approach to your work?

I feel that my outcome, sketchbook and reflective journal prove together that I have been committed and made a sustained effort to this project.
