Responsive- Design Practise 2: Final Module Crit

To start with for the Final Module Crit, we had to display our Collaborative Practise Design Boards out as a pair. Then the whole class went around the room to look at everybody's work, using Post It Notes to leave comments about the work and the design boards so that each group had some feedback.

Post It Notes Feedback

When we had gone around the class, we came back to our own collaborative work and found what feedback other people in the class had given us.

Feedback

The amount of positive comments was overwhelming and something I did not expect- even one going as far as to say we would win! People liked the style of our illustrations, how we had produced them and how we had mocked them up. We did get one piece of constructive criticism which was someone had suggested that we re-design 3 of the main letters on the titles of the backs so that they look more 3-D. This is something that can be easily changed and will be done. Honestly, I found more mistakes in our boards and designs from seeing them printed then anyone who came to look at them, such as a page number mistake and some of the illustrator image vectors being mis-aligned and having some white showing. These elements are easily changeable as well so I will do these to improve the overall quality of the work.

After this, we had to get into groups of 3 collaborative pairings (Anna and myself were with Ant and Ewan and Grace and Jane) and discuss the type of feedback we would like on our individual practise boards.

As a year group, we discussed the type of feedback that we would want for the individual practise boards being;

1. Consistency/ Effective layout of Boards (Presentation)- Project Report
2. Project Management- How do you evidence it? Have you evidenced it? Is there enough evidence from the time available?
3. Have you answered the brief? If not, why not?
4. Visual Quality and Technical Ability
5. Suggestions of Improvement and why?
6. Evaluation of work- What works, what does't and why?

Using these as pointers, we had to go round in our pairs and give feedback on everyone else's individual work, filling in Feedback sheets. This was my feedback on my individual boards and individual brief work:

Feedback Sheets from the other 2 Collaborative Pairs

What I got from the feedback was mainly positive, such as having good layout, impactful boards and clear designs, with a couple of minor tweaks that I can do to the boards and my briefs to improve their quality, such as expanding on them to contextualise them and to improve the image quality. This way, it will mean that I get to show and display my work in the most consistent and professional manner possible.
