Design Is About Doing - Crit Feedback
Here is the feedback I received from the crit we have for the Design is About Doing brief on 04/03/2011.
This crit was a little different from normal ones we have had lately. We first went into studio 4 and laid out our work on tables in the groups we were in to basically showcase our work. Then for 15 minutes both groups walked around looking at what everyone else has been doing. I found this interesting, just to be able to see how everyone else has taken a completely different approach to fundamentally answer the same brief. There were definitely some really good work, and some not so.
Before we began anything, we were told to quickly write down the amount of hours we have spent this week on this brief, first working out how many each day then adding them all together. Mine worked out to be:

Before we began anything, we were told to quickly write down the amount of hours we have spent this week on this brief, first working out how many each day then adding them all together. Mine worked out to be:
- Monday - 11am - 5pm
- Tuesday - 7pm - 11pm
- Wednesday - 1pm - 2.30, 6pm - 12pm
- Thursday - 7pm - 3am
- Friday - 9.30am - 11am
In total I worked for 27 hours on this brief.
The feedback I received from this crit was pretty general. Amber said how she thinks that what I have done is finished, but I think on a personal level I feel there is just some slight tweek I could maybe do to make it that little bit better. Each of us were advised to think about using different stock (which I have but could consider more), the actual format of it - does it need to be an A format, and just generally now this studio deadline has finished how to maybe develop it further onto different things other than posters.
I think from seeing my designs on different sticks, and because it is generally quite simple, I do believe if I was to screen print these it would give them that little bit extra. So I will definitely put an afternoon aside one week to go and try this. At least if it doesn't actually turn out I will still have tried.
Overall, I am very happy with the outcome of this brief, and definitely want to start as I mean to go on with the work pace I have had this week.
