I think I preferred giving feedback and evaluation having the work in front of me personally and answering a set of questions about the work privately. I think it makes it easier to be honest and the results are usually more genuine and reliable. Although I do think group crits where everyone discusses the work is necessary too as ideas are generated this way I find.
The feedback to my work.
I received two individual pieces of feedback. I am happy with the feedback I received and generally think the point raised are valid. General points:
- Anchor the text only poster with the other too more - Use of colour (more orange)
- Image only poster - Sharper print. I knew this needed adjusting before I submitted it for the crit but I must of accidentally opened the original poster canvas in 72dpi and continued to work on it until it was finished; when I came to print it the morning before I realised the mistake and by that time it was too late and I did my best to make it sharp with the time I had in hand.
- I should of also put the proverb on one of the posters as this would of made the message obvious, for some strange reason I didn't?
I am quite happy with the results, although the points raised seem obvious now but without the crit I couldn't see the problems. I think the whole visual concept worked well and even though my message wasn't on any of the posters the two people who critiqued my work were more then on the same line as my proverb 'don't judge a book by its cover'
I have enjoyed this task and it was nice to create the posters from scratch with the freedom to try new things.
