Studio Brief 2 Crit

Studio Brief 2 Crit

I found most of my feedback was generally quite positive which I was very happy with. The percentage grade people gave me seemed to vary between 50-59% and 60-69% nothing below that. A lot of people picked up on the face of my good research and the relation back to the artist and his work. There was even a mention of my final design "actually looking like a structure" which was not the intention but it totally works for me. I had some good feedback stating my variation in each idea and they all had separate themes and different meanings which was well translated. Another positive I liked was how they remarked an "interesting style" throughout the work which was what I was going for. I created the logo into a repeat pattern also, which I was sceptical at first as that was not its true intention but once again it really worked well and could be put into several great contexts.

On the negative side, everyone picked up on my poor print quality which equals an overall poor presentation. This is something that is easily fixable and if I had the time would have corrected straight away. This has cost me some brownie points but it is also a learning curb for me to pay more attention to these finer details next time. Another thing people seemed to pick up on was my "sloppy writing". This is something I need to work on generally as in future it will definitely let me down. I need to learn how to use real terms and better descriptive techniques. One more thing that I could rally improve on is adding colour. In my feedback several people stated about how adding colour and this would really help add more context and give the whole thing a bit of life.

To summarise there are several positives which I am happy with and quite a few negatives that I can improve on. Some of them are silly mistakes that I just to to fix by paying more attention, proof reading and taking more care with my work. I'll also put the effort in and print in colour to give that extra professional edge.
