Communication is a virus, final design and feedback!

Here are the final designs for the project, it is a mailshot of present ideas presented in the form of letter/ parcel. it also includes business cards and a website.


Feedback:
- a crisp finish and good use of colour. however the handwritten type is a little confusing to read, slightly illegible
- colour choice is well concieved, layout and content is very appropriate, i think the printed mailshot and business cards work especiall well
-really like the idea, it is visually engaging however the typeface could do with being clearer
-great colours and friendly feel
-i really like the colour choice and idea i think it would work as a real product
-colours are suitable and effective, nice piece of design work and isn't trying over the top to force the message across
-really like the idea and how it has developed from the last crit, colours work really well

My opinions:
i'm really pleased with the feedback from this project, the students really like the style and think it is appropriate for the idea which is excellent. the fact that people have said 'its making them want to give more' just shows that it is working already! i will make the font more legible but still handwritten style as the students think this works well and is inkeeping with the style, very personal and handmade.
i'm really happy with the illustrations from lizz she's done an excellent job and i wouldn't have been able to do them to the same standard but i do feel very let down by my group. not attending to organised working sessions and general contribution to crits and the work in general. because of this i found it really hard and didn't enjoy this project at all. i was left to make some vital design decisions on my own and know we could have produced better ideas as a group instead of struggling with the work on my own.

main issues- legibility of type
