End of module Evaluation

Within this module learning about the theories in relation to grids and colour helped me to explore the conventions of designs. It also helped me create designs that worked and made me able to recognise straight away designs which did not. Learning the layout of grid systems helped learn the division between image and type and fitting them together within a design. It also helped me realise what grid systems were best suited for different purposes and content. I have also learnt that grid systems help uniform designs and created familiarity. In connection to colour theories I have realised that colour is a vital part of design as it creates visual impact whilst evoking emotion. It also impacts on the organisation of a design.

In relation to the book covers, different tasks which related to different softwares enabled me to experiment with unique styles such as with Edexcel, Word and experimenting with music notations. This enabled me to create fresh, unique ideas keeping away from the obvious. Peer reviews also helped me to review my work and spot improvements in order for my final book covers to be suited and relevant to the content and aesthetic of the books.

In order to improve the following module, I would have explored other related fashion biographies and fashion related magazines. I also would have explored different theories and view points in relation to colour theories and grid systems and have explored how they have been used in the fashion industry relating to the fashion aesthetic carried out throughout the book covers.
