Overall, I have thoroughly enjoyed this module and feel I have really developed my skills as a designer in the modern world.
Researching in depth into topical issues such as gender and identity has really informed me deeper about this subject and I feel as though I have had my eyes opened to a wide range of different opinions and views. I have enjoyed researching into gender and looking at theories and stereotypes - even if they have been sexist and offensive at times. It has been interesting to look at such widely discussed and controversial issues such as gender fluidity and queer theory - I feel as though I have been informed not only as a young person, but as a designer too. Thorough research allows you to view the world in different ways.
I have found it really fun putting my theoretical research into play during my practical investigation, and it has been interesting putting theories into play during my design work. I have found the design work really engaging purely because I have been so interested in the theoretical work - I have found it has really pushed my design work along and kept me engaged. Food packaging is a particular area of interest for me so being able to write about it as well as put my own ideas into play has been something I have really enjoyed.
I feel like I can move on from this module with a greater and deeper not knowledge not just of food packaging, but of other useful elements such as designing for gender - and gender issues in general. This is definitely something I would like to revisit and look at again in future projects.
