Message and Delivery - Final Crit Feedback

For my final crit, I had to present my posters and then my mail shot to a group of peers and a tutor. The feedback I got was negative and positive, I learnt a lot from it, received some good ideas/solutions and went away with a productive task to do.

Issues raised:

• My posters were much more visually ingaging then my mail shots
• The colours I used for my posters (green and white) worked better and communicated better then my mail shot colours (orange and navy)
• It was aparent that I had been more excited when producing my posters, as they looked more like a piece of graphic design- more thought
• My mail shots were hard to understand, posters communicated better

Actions to be taken:

• Relate my mail shots more with the style I used for my posters
• Design and make one version of the new mail shot
  
• Use green and white, as apose to orange and navy

Even though my mail shots were not as good as my posters, I feel I haven't wasted two weeks as I learnt something by doing this. I was more excited about my posters, and I think that showed through the design. After getting quite negative feedback relating to my posters, I took the approach I thought would be best, I eliminated that idea completely. I know now, I should've worked with it further.
