Over the last six blogs I have been testing out different methods of researching and seeing what works for me. I feel that the best method I can use for researching is finding a source, reading it, then recording my findings. I am not sure that it is helpful to me to watch really long videos in a lecture room about something I am not interested in, however as I am entering the graphic design world I do know I need to get used to doing this. I feel that I need to be better at watching a video and taking facts from that and recording as I get too distracted by what is going on, on the screens rather than in the video and finding facts.

I have learnt how to summarise a method and research piece at the end rather than leaving it on a whim and not explaining myself fully so that I do not need to go back to it and try to catch up. Using references was new to me but I found this part a little helpful as I could go back to my sources and double check my information I had retrieved was correct.

Overall, I found the past 7 weeks interesting and helpful with my skills in researching and communicating information and feel it would be interesting to take it further and push myself so that I was able to improve these skills.
