Self Evaluation

I have learnt allot through this Project, and I’m going to spend this blog going over those outcomes

Strengths

I personally feel that I’ve proven to myself what strengths I have form this project.

• Initial time management
• Idea generation
• Working on paper
• Attitude towards workload

Weaknesses

Like every good project, there are always weakness

• Not enough technical skills
• Time management at the end – terrible

Learning Outcomes

Although I feel like I have lacked quite allot during this project, I do feel I have learn quite allot from it.

• I’ve got a deeper insight into wordpress
• The Pen tool! It’s the first time I’ve used it for illustration and it certainly won’t be the last
• Working for a client
• Professionalism
• Working better under pressure

What I’d do differently

There are allot of things I would do differently. If I’m honest, I am not happy at all with how my Grow website has turned out. It lacks so much that I wanted it to have from my original sketches, but due to lack of time and lack of skill, I was unable to add them. Below is a list of things I wanted for my Grow site but never managed to implement:

• jQuery header
• Custom markers on google maps
• A database for people to sign up to
• More time to work on design

Part of the reason these elements aren’t here is because of how I arranged my time, but others were just outside my current skill set.

The future

I have a set of goals I have for the near future

• Become more proficient in codes to be able to create the designs I imagine
• Look more closely at time management
• Look closer at PHP databases

I am glad of this project because it has helped me see my flaws, and with the new goals I have set myself, I am hoping not to repeat the same mistakes in semester 2 and on my major Project. And with this blog, I say good night to you semester 1, hello major project.
