4 days into the brief we had a group crit where we presented our ideas to 5 other students, and two of our course tutors. It was invaluable to get more of a one on one experience with tutors as well as gather other feedback from students who were of course completing the same brief. It was interesting to see how other students had started to process the brief, all beginning their own journey in response. After presenting my ideas and refining the crucial feedback I had been given, I three things I will take away or as an outcome the three things I will do are;
1. Focus on a solid idea!
I have experimented with a lot of ideas from the information my partner Amy had provided. Focusing on Siscott inspired illustration I had tried to create a different illustration for each letter to represent each of Amy's characteristics. However after going to the crit I was advised not to over complicate thins and stick to one idea, therefore one of Amy's characteristics. After most of the group favourited one particular letter form I had illustrated I decided to create a set of letters based upon this piece.
2. Always bring visuals to a crit!
Although I brought a few examples on concepts I had been working on, few people turned up to the crit with solely ideas in their head they had considered to pursue but no material to work with. Tutors and students can not give feedback without viewing any ideas on paper.
3. Experiment with fill and line.
As Amy had said her favourite colour was white I was afraid playing too much with fill may combat and override the information I had been given. However I plan to experiment more with line weight etc in order to work with not against the answers I received.
