EVALUATION


INVESTIGATION BEFORE IMPROVING

The investigation has been the weakest of the areas I’ve covered. I would give myself a 3-4 as most of the research is missing. I did describe the problem, mentioned its relevance but missed the investigation and research from actual resources is missing. I did answer my guiding questions mainly through interviews and not books and websites. 

To improve my investigation stage I need to include more information from a wider variety of sources in order to collect optimal information that will help me achieve a great final product. I need to vary the types of interviews; different questions to different people. Internet; observe other good official posters, search discussions that cover this subject and web pages that could answer my guiding questions. Books; explaining step by step to create a good poster, something that links to good advertising tips.

AFTER IMPROVING 

I'm much more satisfied with my work now that I improved it. I included much more research and tried to include as much information as I could. I feel like now I have a much more complete view of my process and how I developed everything. I tried my best to follow and work on the feedback Mr. Mariani gave me and looked at the grades I am aiming for to achieve something better. Over all I'm satisfied with my final work. To improve I could gather even more information, from a bigger variety of sources. My design brief and specification could maybe include more examples and characteristics that I could reach. As well as a more detailed test plan and explanation of the the test table. But over all I think I didn't do bad.

As far as evaluating sources, they helped me write my investigation. The guiding questions that needed the most research definitely had to be the "What makes a good poster?" one. I gathered as much research as I possibly could not only by using the internet but also by asking different people; my dad, a friend and an uncle that have experience when it comes to presentation. I feel like the interviews really helped me out in order to answer my guiding questions. I also received feedback mainly from Mr. Mariani but also from students. The sources gathered from these people helped me have a better view of what the type of audience I'm doing this for is like, what they like in a poster and what they think about my poster. This gave me a chance to understand my strengths and weaknesses and to fix what I could in order to achieve the best I could. Next time, however, I need to use a larger variety of sources which include books, newspaper articles, TV programs and others.

Design  4+
I feel like my design brief and specification could of been a little bit more detailed, I could've included more of the changes I decided to take to show how my process and work developed.
Creation 5
I'm satisfied with my final posters as I like how it's simple and straight to the point. I think it's subtle but still quite eye catching. To improve my process, I should of included more information and more entries in my process journal to document all of the steps I took in order to achieve what I got.
Evaluation 5
My evaluation covers most of the steps in the creation of this project. To improve I could insert even more detail and maybe write improvements and opinions from more that one perspective. I could ask people, students, parents and teachers and include their thoughts to get a full view of my work.
