Good is concept crit

PEER FEEDBACK

Comment on the extent to which initial research and development of the concept demonstrates a significant understanding of the chosen subject matter.
Initial research is good, a lot of content to work with, think the concept needs to be rethought to be more focused, too vague at the moment. Does it need to be specific to skateboarding?


satisfactory - good

Comment on the extent to which the concept proposal exploits the practical and conceptual investigation and application of design for print.
There is a lot of ways in which you can apply print with this. Organising promotion for an event, skateboard designs. Once you have a more focused concept, it'll be easier to find out what you can work with.

good


Comment on the proposed range of products to be produced in response to a clearly identified problem.
Linking to an event is a good idea, (festivals), places where people feel free! ie festival promotions - large scale, applied to various things (pad printing) posters flyers, mailshots...


satisfactory - good


Additional comments 
Focus your design ideas around an event.
Research in depth how to print onto skateboards, wheels etc - if not possible for you to do, mock up on photoshop. Try printing onto vinyl and then sticking on...
Strayed away from 'Nothing is impossible' back to skateboards
Event focusing on that statement - extreme sports - being spontaneous - sports clothing?






Think this was a really useful crit and have discovered I should probably move away from making happy meal packaging and focus on some actual design. I think going with a different colour scheme, one of the earlier ones making use of a teal blue or blue background with grey bolt would be much more effective.
