OUGD603: Meeting the Learning Outcomes

6A3 - Understand and demonstrate coherent and detailed subject knowledge and professional competences, some of which will be informed by recent research in the discipline. (knowledge and understanding / critical awareness)20%
6B3 - Articulate and synthesise their knowledge and understanding attributes and skills in effective ways in the contexts of creative practice, employment, further study, research and self fulfilment. (cognitive skills/ critical awareness)20%
63C -Develop appropriate methods of professional presentation combining visual, verbal and written techniques. (practical and professional skills / research)20%
6C4 -Demonstrate their ability to synthesise analytical and intuitive approaches with a high level of process and professional skill.(problem analysis /visual quality)20%
6D3 - Analyse information and experiences, formulate independent judgements and articulate reasoned arguments through review and evaluation. (key transferable skills/ critical awareness/problem analysis)20%


6A3 - Understand and demonstrate coherent and detailed subject knowledge and professional competences, some of which will be informed by recent research in the discipline. (knowledge and understanding / critical awareness)
Knowledge and understanding was reflective of in depth research and ongoing critical evaluation. Critical evaluation helped to refine and develop outcomes in their context. Research has informed the context and format of the outcome. By looking into existing related references and what exists informed each creative solution. Each design outcome offers a creative solution to the brief, challenge or problem. Feedback from both peers and tutors offered a different outlook and perspective. This ensured the outcome visualises the concept and meets the requirements set out by each brief. Knowledge was further gained through the production of each outcome.  

6B3 - Articulate and synthesise their knowledge and understanding attributes and skills in effective ways in the contexts of creative practice, employment, further study, research and self fulfilment. (cognitive skills/ critical awareness)
Cognitive skills were demonstrated by reflecting on feedback and developing ideas based on this. For example using my own initiative to develop or not develop an idea in a suggested way based on feedback. Research informed each outcomes appropriate context. Most briefs were informed by areas of practice interest, passions and general interests. For example, the Dachshund briefs were inspired by my general love for the breed. This demonstrates selecting and writing up briefs involved cognitive thinking to produce a successful and appropriate body of work. Producing a body of work reflective of my interests builds a number of projects presentable for further study or employment. Critical awareness was gathered throughout the design process to be most effective in the format of peer, tutor feedback and ongoing critical self-evaluation. 

63C -Develop appropriate methods of professional presentation combining visual, verbal and written techniques. (practical and professional skills / research)
A number of presentation methods were demonstrated throughout this module. Visually refining outcomes and ideas ensured the concept was clear in order to gather the most valuable feedback. Visually, high quality images or mock ups were presented. Verbally, ideas were presented and discussed to further the design process. Written presentation methods can include documenting feedback alongside ongoing reflective and critical evaluation of both the designs and the process. Presentations developed through a range of techniques improved both my own professional skills and confidence. Further this module developed professional and practical skills. Each module enabled me to build and develop new and existing skills. 

6C4 -Demonstrate their ability to synthesise analytical and intuitive approaches with a high level of process and professional skill. (problem analysis /visual quality)
Problem analysis and visual quality is demonstrated through in depth design process for a series of 11 briefs. Responses were informed both analytically and intuitively by feedback and further development or refinement of outcomes. My level of documentation is also reflected in my detailed blog which documents the process and design decisions for each brief. Knowing I needed to document the process keeping up to date with my blog I found helped with time management. This was essential to balance a large workload and working towards the deadline. Another high-level of process can be seen in the high quality images or photographs documenting each final outcome and stages of the process. These images make projects presentable on my portfolio site and design boards. 

6D3 - Analyse information and experiences, formulate independent judgements and articulate reasoned arguments through review and evaluation. (key transferable skills/ critical awareness/problem analysis)
Experiences including both placements also helped to develop my skills. This included a 4 month placement for The Clothing Lounge and one-week studio based placement at McCadden based in Belfast. Alongside review and evaluation of Visiting Professional talks to inform my practice. The knowledge gained from this experience enabled me to make independent judgements and reasoned arguments throughout the design process. Critical analysis was documented throughout the process on my blog. To reference the learning outcomes critical reflection throughout ensured the outcomes were finished to a high standard.
