Main Points
- Fever Tree work is going well, good concept and development work, well considered and good initial drawings.
- Maybe explore colour more for Fever Tree.
- Some of the layouts of the boards are a little confusing (illustration friday)
- More information about the brief could be included.
- Minimal brushwork is good on the record sleeves.
- Presentation is kept clean and simple.
- My contribution to the collaborative brief is consistent.
- Boards for SB2 are organised neatly showing a clear journey.
My Response
- I am pleased that my peers thought that the Fever Tree project was off to a good start, this is going to be the primary focus for me to complete after this crit. I agree that exploring colour would be a good idea, I feel confident when working in monochrome so it might be good to push myself out of this.
- I agree that the Illustration Friday board has very little explanation or structure. I think it would be best to spread this over two boards and adding in some information about the brief and a summary of my approach to it each week.
- I think I need to have a short paragraph for each project explaining the brief. It will make things clear from the very beginning.
- I don't think I need to do much more to my collaborative boards apart from taking out unnecessary pieces of writing and being more concise with the information. A lot of my sketchbook work does most of the explaining so this won't need much text to go with it.
- There was a comment saying that I could get away with a bigger font but seeing as these are meant to be A2 sized boards, I think a bigger font would look strange if it was printed at full scale.
Next Steps
- Finish the Fever Tree Brief and submit.
- Wait for a team member to finish their share of the work for Orchard Pig so we can submit.
- Make alterations to presentation boards and start some from scratch.
- Ensure all presentation boards follow the same basic theme to keep things consistent and simple.
