Evaluation – K1219829

During this module I have learnt to produce my own website during TB1 and learnt how to work and drive the team to the right path. Both terms I have learnt how to produce a website on Wordpress and produce many different multimedia products in a creative way. In the second term, I have done the same but this time I have been put into a group and we worked together as a team to produce our successful website together. However, there are some strength, weaknesses and things that I would love to improve as an individual and as a team.

My strengths are creativity, meeting deadlines and determined to improve. One of the reasons why I study Media Studies is because I am a creative individual and producing a website in both terms has made me express myself by producing two websites individually and in a group. Creativity helps me come up with new and unique ideas that I like to share with everyone. I am not a theoretical person, but I am definitely a person who likes visuals and this is why I think that is one of my strengths during this project. Meeting deadlines was perfectly fine as I was the project manager. Therefore I should give the same respect to my team as they will respect me by getting their work done on time as it is my job to push them to get the work done. My determination to improve is driven by competition that is surrounding me, such as other people who have produced fashion websites or friends that are also producing a well-presented website. This makes me determined to be better than everyone and to make sure I am ahead of everybody else.

The strengths on our website are quite a few. We have a lot of visuals which are images that have been produced after a fashion photo shoot. There are a lot of photos that have been produced and presented on our website, and it does lie within the concept of our website which is about fashion and photo shoots. The other best point of our website is the colour scheme. We went for a simple background (black), white font and a hint of pink to “spice” things up. We didn’t want it too simple, so we figured we should put a little pink to it.

Moving onto the weakness of the website, the weaknesses are time management, lack of different materials and meetings. The time management wasn’t too great as we all are juggling with other assignments on different modules. However, that wasn’t the big problem but the other problem was to find a make-up artist, photographer, director and models free on the same day. It was very limited time, and we did not have enough time to get enough material.

As Odd Form will no longer be part of our project, it still will be part of our own project as we are now part of Odd Form. This gives us enough time in the world to improve the website by producing different kinds of mediums such as videos, where we can produce teaser trailers for the next photo shoot or set a fierce mood by capturing action behind the scene with the techno music blasting in the background. We all still have amazing and unique ideas we would love to share and we will share in the near future.
