OUGD101 No News Is Good News- Message & Delivery

Crit 

Feedback comments from students on Envelope Ideas

'I think the pop format is a good idea but hard to do, theater set is a wicked idea'

'Everything seems to be heading in the right direction. i think the more successful idea would be the curtain fold out, would like to see development of this idea as i think it has most potential'

'think about sturdiness of stock if it is to fold out, test all ideas. will look amazing when finished awesome idea'

'I really like the curtain opening idea the best, the pop up will be too confusing and you won't have enough time to finish all 10. Think about using rich colours like Gold/Cream/Crimson like an original theater set'

'Like how it 'makes itself' adds to the message, simplify to make it more time friendly'

after the last feedback i got i am so pleased they think the idea is great and will work well, i am pushing myself harder on this brief researching and testing more to generate the best piece of work. From the feedback i was given i persuede a few ideas including the pop up which proved to be way too difficult for me.. i decided to stick with the folding curtain idea.

I found some of the feedback given to be very negative and quite harsh criticisms.. i agree with parts of it but i think i would have got a better feedback if i showed this poster to its desired audience. Without knowing who Gilliam was you wouldn't understand the theme i chose for my work. I will try to simplify the posters so it can communicate to a larger audience, also look at muting the colours.

At this stage in the course i am really pleased with the work i am producing and i am looking forward to seeing how much my work improves throughout the year. I feel really positive and hope to improve on my skills so far including colour theory and Adobe Illustrator as these are things i need to work on the most. I hope to make my blog abit more personal and direct my design context into areas i am most interested in.

From the feedback i have recieved i will try and improve my work by changing the colour of the lettering to make it bolder, also to see whether i can adapt the I to make it clearer. The silver colour is difficult to see from a distance especially under studio lighting.. although i do like how the colours are in context with the theme and how i have dared to explore colour even though it was out of my comfort zone. I think the typeface i have created from a manipulation of IMPACT works really well, its weird to think i've made my own typeface! I found it difficult to come up with an idea to communicate Kim but i do think this one reflects her well, i found that i stuck with one idea straight away instead of exploring other possibilites. This is something that i need to work on in other projects to push my work forward.
