Presentation.

Final design boards.

 

Feedback from group 4

They chose the brief subject "Get people to read more" and had a fluid and concise presentation with an effective outcome- whereupon they used stencils to create a typographic flour pattern on pavements- attracting passers by as a temporary arts piece.

This is a brief summary of the feedback we gave after watching their presentation and analysing their blogs collectively...

-Good research and linking design practice to design context in blogs.

-Existing poster layouts, quotes and type- good considerations for the brief.

-Looked at text within the environment, but would benefit from gauging responses for a more defined view of how effective their outcome was. It was proven to make people read- but did it inspire them to do so more frequently after wards?

-Specific research to product outcome evident on blogs- though could perhaps elaborate on this development a little more- go out there and create the designs as opposed to just talking about them (though we understand time is limited).

-Good planning and research- perhaps, however, a little too negative. Statistics and solid quantitative research would increase the believability and truth that people don't in fact read (if this is in fact the case).

-Good distribution and communication as a live brief, but perhaps make a more permanent source for their project- getting to physically read up tips, advice etc- a follow-on from what you are already doing. Perhaps adding a reading list to create examples of what people could be reading- the quotes were not specifically catered for an audience.

-Good development of work on design practice blogs.

-Consider where you present the work- perhaps make it a little more scenic and less vulnerable to wearing (potentially increasing the amount of people that would see it, therefore, increase it's effectiveness)- a place where people would walk, but not walk over it.

-Good method of delivery with the postcards- a bridge between the temporary and the permanent.

Tell a convincing lie (poker - bluffing)

-Regularly changing concept which wasn't documented.

-No design direction boards?

-Pack of cards really brilliant concept - simple and effective if dealt with properly
Needed to be more evidence to get real idea of aesthetic.

-Only considered cards... possibly needs greater scope - needs to go to print - consider packaging, promotion and variations?

-Questionnaire blogged is the only sign of research methods.

-Limited to no evaluation -presentation did give idea of where it was going.

-We think unresolved as of yet, down to not telling a lie, just teaching other people... possible interpretation of the brief.

-Possibly for audience, look outside of casinos - look at selling them away from the direct audience.

-Needs taking to print to test it's effectiveness.

-apart from the promise of money, never told a lie?

-Needs to become live we feel.

Opposites finals.

 Here are my four final posters for the opposites brief. Three making use of directly opposing colours on the colour wheel and one (cyan & magenta) due to how well the colours go together.
