Feedback.

Within small groups we presented our work over the summer and received feedback on the strengths and areas of improvements for both presentation skills and the visual products.

Strengths
  • Great illustrations 
  • Final products work really well for audience 
  • Good that looked at broad and final idea from all research
  • Fun topic 
  • Thought it through very well before going into another topic
  • Illustration are amazing 
  • Character design is fun and unique 
  • Good illustrations, very comical for kids 
  • Nice fold out poster of characters with information of the character on the other side
  • Great to see the process and journey of the research
  • Large amount in-depth research interested with subject matter 
  • Took images and illustrated in your own way 

Areas of improvements 
  • Possibly include more history 
  • Include a little more info/facts within products depending on how much info is available 
  • Go bigger, go wild with the size and range 
  • Experiment with stock 
  • Grammar and proof read work before printing and finalising 

This was a great way to get back into the year and has given me a number of things to consider and take forward into the new modules. Areas of improvements such as experimenting with scale and stock are something that I really need to keep remembering moving forward as it can be applied to any brief and is a quick and easy consideration that could change the overall finish of my design massively. Although grammar and proof reading is an obvious suggestion it is something that I often forget or leave too late to sort out and fix, as my practice is stepping up a level now I'm in the second year this is essential to achieve more professionalism and higher quality. All something to consider moving forward.
