​
Gibbs reflective cycle(26/04/21)-
​
For the Final Major project I have completed rough drafts of all 4 of my posters. I did this before doing my presentation on Friday 23rd of April I did this work at college during the week of my presentation. I completed all these rough drafts individually with some feedback to improve them. The first thing I did when creating my rough designs was create all the graphics that ill need in 2 of my posters. I then started to create each rough draft starting with 2 and 3 and then working on poster 1 I didn't get to fully complete a rough draft for poster 4 but I did manage to get a very rough draft in time for my presentation. I think that these rough drafts look very good with a clear purpose.
​
Whilst I was creating these rough drafts I felt like they had a clear and strong message which would cause people to look and listen about mental health. Before I started doing rough drafts I thought it would take at least a week to complete all these rough drafts however after I completed them I felt I spent just the right amount of time for rough drafts.
During creating the rough drafts I was mainly thinking about trying to get them done in time for my presentation and also what I'll say about them. Now I'm thinking about how I can further these drafts in the 2 weeks I have left for post production.
​
The things that worked well was how I adapted to a change of ideas and managed to not fall behind on my weekly plan. One issue I found was whilst creating these designs I had to do some more research into different mental health charities this took up some time that I could have worked on my draft for poster 4.The thing that worked well during this time was my problem solving something that didn't work as well was my initial poster ideas that I've changed. I contributed positively in this situation by catching up with work that I was behind on because of the change in my ideas by doing extra work at home.
​
During these rough drafts things went well because I have a final end goal of getting a merit this goal pushed me to keep trying as hard as I can to complete this task. The reason that things didn't go well is because I didn't think about the overall use of my initial poster ideas. I think if I challenged myself before to evaluate every piece of work I do before starting other things I would have realised my issues first before spending time on it.
​
From this situation I have learnt to get feedback from various sources as I work. This was a very positive situation because I have progressed in my project and I'm feeling confident with my plan for the rest. The skills I need to develop are better evaluation skills I should be evaluating all my work with thinking about positives and negatives. To improve this situation next time I will be evaluating fairly thinking about every negative and trying to solve them.
​
If I was to do rough drafts again I would have planned my ideas better before starting making sure to look at negatives and planning in time to solve these problems. To develop my skills in evaluation for the rest of the project I will be evaluating all the work done as soon as I complete it. To make sure I act differently next time I will be taking screenshots during post production and comparing them to each other.
​
27/04/21-This lesson I want to complete my font sheet. In this lesson I have completed my font sheet and now have started on post production. Next lesson I would like to carry on with post production.
​
28/04/21-Today I would like to move onto poster 2 and 3 I would like to do some post production of each of my posters before next week which is the final week of production. I have finished my background for my first 3 posters. This lesson I would like to look at some poster designs and get some more inspiration to further my poster ideas. I have looked at some inspiration and am now going to carry on with post production. I have continued with production and next lesson I would like to carry on with production and finish off 2 of my posters for the week.
​
29/04/21-This lesson I am going to be working on post production. I have worked on post production this lesson I have also got some feedback for my proposal which I will respond to.
​
30/04/21-Today my aim is to get as much of the proposal done as possible and if I do not complete it I will finish the rest at home this will give me next week to complete my post production. I'm struggling with writing the proposal so I have asked for feedback in what I have done so far. Whilst waiting for this feedback I have carried on with post production.
Next lesson I would like to improve my proposal and also do more post production.
I have got feedback on my proposal and I am going to spend this lesson and the weekend working on this.
​
04/05/21-This lesson I will be continuing my proposal. I have finished writing my feedback next lesson I need to combine my new work with my old proposal.
​
05/05/21-This lesson I would like to finish my proposal and a new Gibbs reflective cycle and continue with post production. I have finished my proposal and am now starting to work on post production. I have completed my Gibbs reflective cycle. I have also worked on my poster 1 a lot and feel a lot better with the design. Next lesson I would like to start finishing these posters getting ready for evaluation next week.
​
05/05/21- Gibbs reflective cycle
​
For the past week I have been focusing my attention on the proposal This is because I got feedback saying that I needed to improve on this to get a merit. I did this work at college and at home. I did all this work individually with the help of the feedback given by my teacher. I have worked on the proposal for the past week and I think I have improved it a lot. I want to achieve a merit for each section of the Fmp.
​
During this situation I felt stressed and wanted to get this work done. The reason I felt stressed was because I have very little time to get this project complete. Before starting my new proposal I was worried about if I will get it done in time. After I have completed the proposal I am still worried about my final designs because I am behind on my schedule.
​
I feel this experience was good because I have learnt what makes a good proposal therefore next time I wont have to re do it. I think my final proposal is a much improved version of the first draft. One reason it didn't go so well is because this has made me worried about post production. I contributed a lot of positives in this situation by working hard at the proposal. However I feel I should have Completed this section of the Fmp a lot earlier.
​
I think that things have gone well over the past week because I have got feedback throughout to make sure I'm doing the right things therefore I can improve my work during these lessons. Things went less well when I started thinking about different sections of the project to solve this issue I spent some time working on post production. My own knowledge has helped me make sense of how I can complete this project on time.
​
I think this could have been a more positive experience if I asked for feedback earlier and check all my work after doing it to make sure I am happy with the work I produced. I need to develop my Writing skills better to solve this problem.
​
Next time I want to ask for feedback sooner and ask more regularly I also want to evaluate my own work more effectively the way I will do this is by when I finish a piece of work writing a short evaluation thinking about both Positives and negatives.
​
06/05/21-This lesson I want to continue with post production. I feel I am getting close to finishing production of my posters. This will allow me next week for evaluation.
​
07/05/21- Today I would like to get feedback on my posters and proposal. Then I will improve on all feedback and get all posters finished by the end of the day. I have got peer feedback which I will work on next lesson. I have asked for feedback on my proposal and production. I have got feedback on my proposal and will work on throughout the weekend and Monday.
​
10/05/21-Today I will be working on my production and finishing my proposal. I have finished my proposal and have very little left to do for production. tomorrow I want to finish my production and start working on my proposal.
​
11/05/21-This lesson I want to finish my production I have finished my production and I will now start my evaluation.
​
12/05/21-Today I need to carry on with evaluation. I have carried on with my evaluation and I think that I can finish this tomorrow this will give me time to work on my final designs on Friday if I need to.
​
13/05/21- During these lessons I want to finish or get near to finishing my evaluation and then start to check my work and prove areas that need it. During the first lesson of today I have worked through 2 sections of the evaluation therefore I will be on track to finishing tomorrow. I am near to finishing my evaluation and I will do this tomorrow.
​
14/05/21- Today I need to finish my evaluation and hand in my Fmp. I have 1 lesson left to complete my evaluation I am on track to finishing during that lesson.
