For the final part of this module, I have to put together a seven minute presentation, summing up my time on the course so far and who I am as an individual and designer.
To start with, I thought it was key to look over my time of the course in the outcomes I have produced for each brief. This allows me to see exactly how I have improved and what I have learnt throughout my time on this course.
