OUGD406 Feedback/Evaluation

After a final crit, all of my physical work has been reviewed by my peers and judged. I have received a lot of useful feedback, most of it quite positive. One reoccurring comment was how clear my contextual research translated visually in all of my work. This was good to know as I originally thought my rhino idea was a bit too ambitious, but it turns out it works perfectly. This gives me confidence in the visual language . I have used and now I know its not too confusing at all. Another thing mentioned a lot was that my origami rhino was a really nice little touch. In comparison to others objects which were really big and expensive things, this was a nice simple little thing. One thing mentioned was that it could possibly be included as a bonus inside the cassette packaging. This would basically be giving away free money which could somehow relate to the general punk attitude. My peers also really appreciated the rough design and messy aesthetic of the flag which was great. Finally, the patterns used and type sourced on my J-card was said to look really great and relate to my research perfectly.

Some of the cons in my design were that the colours in my flag didn't completely match up with my J-card. I could have also included some more red in the flag as it is not as obvious. It was also suggested to narrow my rationale down a little bit to get to the key points instead of having a long full description of all my ideas. A final negative was that it was not too clear what the design was on the . back side of the J-card in comparison to the front. These are all valid points that I will keep in mind next time.

Some transferable skills I have collected during this brief are time management skills. This played a big part in this project as there was such a large amount of deliverables I had to produce, I had to carefully divide my time to complete each one before the deadline. I also leant a lot more about screen printing compared to before. Now I have the confidence to go and print whenever I wish without any fault. I also learnt about mixing colours to get the correct hues required. I even learnt a bit of origami which is always useful.
