I found OUGD401 more difficult than all the other modules purely because I'm not as confident in academic work than I am in designing. The question that I wrote an essay about was a fairly good one for me to write about since we, ourselves are living in the postmodern era therefore I have learnt more about postmodern work during my education than I have modern artwork since everything now is more digital based.
The digital work I produced was easier than I thought since it was all made digitally and I am already quite confident in the software that was used to produce the posters. The Blue Books exhibition was perfect for my practical piece as it only made sense to use one colour and because I could get a lot of relating terminology from monoprint which helped fill the design up with all words.
I think I could've found better quotes to support my analysis and would've I hoped to have looked at more sources but had found to have stuggled since I've not written an essay in a while. Visiting other exhibitions would've also been a good idea but I was stuck on Mick's exhibition since I felt like I had a lot to incorporate into the practical such as keywords and the colour I chose to use. The structure of the essay could've been better as I thought it was slightly difficult to read and I felt like I had been quite repetitive in the essay.
This module has helped me learn more about postmodernism and modernism as I found out how it had affected new and existing designers during the early stages of postmodernism and the art movement. I also learnt more about the characteristics of both modernist and postmodernist traits which will help me further in my designs. In the lectures, we also learnt about famous historical artists, events and buildings which I didn't previous know of but now it makes me realise the importance of these events as they have affected art in general.
