• You might comment on studies and experiments by adding annotations throughout your work.
• Your teacher might provide a template for you to collect your thoughts on evaluating your work.

Whatever your method of evaluation, it should answer questions about your sources of design inspiration, your own design ideas and your reflections on your process and the development of your work.

The following areas and questions can be used as a guide.

Designers and their work:

• Who were your chosen designers, design movements and design works?
• What did you learn about the way they used materials and techniques, and/or technology?
• In what way did social influences and cultural influences impact on their work?
• How did these designers influence your work?
• What have you learned about your chosen design area?
• How did you use aspects of this knowledge in your own work?

Your design ideas:

• What was your design problem and/or your design brief?
• What were the opportunities and constraints of your design brief?
• How did you plan and develop your design ideas?
• What were the challenges and how did you respond to them?

Review and reflect on your development process:

• What do you think about your development work?
• How well did you respond to your design problem/design brief?
• How did your work change through the project?
• How did your skills develop during the project?
• How did your design decisions affect the success of your design ideas?
• What would you do differently in the future and why?

Review and reflect on your final piece:

• How have you used visual elements such as line, tone, colour and shape?
• What materials did you use, and why? Did they work successfully?
• What meaning and messages did you want to convey and were you successful?
• What is your opinion of your final piece? What elements do you think are successful and why?
• What would you do differently in the future and why?
