Final crit...

Final crit... well its been an epic journey, Can't believe I am finally at this moment in my degree. It has come round so fast. I look back at my progress from the start of the course and I think... What the hell was I doing haha. I hope in 3 more years I will grow as a designer and think exactly the same about my work now.

Any way down to the nitty gritty, I asked for feedback mainly on my boards as I was in a position ready to print the final sets the day after the crit (Friday).

Some quick notes I joted down:

• scale down logo images on Ted Baker board
• Ted Baker - packaging, align the photographs so they meet together at the top of the page.
• Cosmos and culture board - leaflet - align images in a sequence.
• wwf board - development tighten the images together so they are less spread out.

So pretty simple changes there but make the boards look a whole lot better layout wis.


I also got some feedback on my context book, I showed a mock-up as my final booklet hadn't come back from the printers yet. It was suggested that because the front cover titles The Big Issue I should have an outer sleeve made from newspaper and screen printed to tie in with the concept of the big issue handed out in the street.

I looked into this, however because I am pregnant It makes screen printing a no go really, especially when there is only a week left. All due to health and safety.

I am hoping that the final printed book won't need a wrap or sleeve cover anyway so fingers crossed when the book comes back.
