Evaluating My Performance at Each Stage of Design Cycle Investigation Investigation is the first step of the design cycle, it’s the most important stage so I that I will have in mind what to do to satisfy the client’s need. I did interview with my client and got some ideas on what products would be like and what’s the main purpose of this promotion, then I did brainstorming about different requirements my client made, I did a little research about softwares and case study on 3 different advertisement on 3 different media. Overall, I did put my effort in this stage to get the best product but I could do some more research on the software. Design The 6 different designs were made during this stage. All of them were based by the requirements made by my client. 2 of the designs were video, 2 were websites and 2 were printed media (example: magazine,brochure,etc..) I evaluated these designs using specification points which helped me to see which designs is the best and choose which one is the most appropriate design in the end. I explained why each designs are good and explained their flaws. I also ask my friend to fill the peer evaluation design to see which one is the best from my friend’s perspective. I think I do a good job on the design stage and use the time given in the class very effectively Plan I planned out the time and steps to follow later on during the creation of the movie. The step by step is very simple, and I tried to make it clear enough to follow without words. The gantt chart showed the time needed to make the movie. I could do a lot more in this stage in making the gantt chart because the time needed is actually far more than I have planned Create I wrote documented evidence for every lesson I had in school to show my progress of creating the video. Even though I wrote a lots of documented evidence, most of them are the same points because I need to do the same thing for each different part of the video (example: change color of the opening, change color of the last clip and etc.) The documented evidence shows how I used my time in class and what could I do better to use time more efficiently Evaluation The evaluation stage is used to evaluates my whole project and each process I went through. I didn’t put my peers opinion about my product, I should have done this and get more opinions to fix my work in the future. I also evaluated some improvements that I could make, and what’s good about my final product.
