Responsive - Final Crit



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.
