BA (Hons.) GRAPHIC DESIGN

LEVEL 06 Module Code OUPD301 Outcomes

Module Title PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT 3

The following form is designed to focus your self-evaluation, personal reflection and design strategy planning for the third year of the course. This should help you to identify necessary areas of interest, working practices, aims and ambitions when planning the content and structure of your Design Strategy presentation. More importantly it should help you identify specific issues that you need to address, skills you intend to develop and creative/professional aspects of design practice that are relevant to you as an individual. As you research your dissertation, take part in work placements, put together your presentation and take some time out to reflect, your views may change. You should look to complete this form at key stages throughout the next three months in order to document, evaluate and respond to these changes. As this is form focuses on you as an individual you may find you need to add certain criteria, skills or areas that are relevant to you and your aims. There are spaces left for you to add content. Your evaluation will be the basis of discussion at your first tutorial when you return to Level 06 of the programme.
