Today's lesson was all around getting final critiques of the presentation and dossier before we present on Tuesday. We had decided that we were going to have the dossier and presentation all mocked up by today in the new stylistic approach, so that we could get some helpful feedback, before making some final readjustments over the coming weekend.
Unfortunately, I was the only one that turned up with work from our group, which meant that we were only able to show the dossier, and not the presentation to go along with it.
However, focusing on the positives, we got a whole heap of feedback on our project. All of the groups that we had our small critique sessions with said that they found our narrative and brief really clear and easy to understand, so quite liked our brief. Phoebe said she really liked how it's come a long way since Tuesday in terms of looking at a new style, although to still look at using some sort of other metaphors instead of photos of people. Tim suggested that if we are going for this sort of rough illustrative approach on top of the photos etc., that we need to contrast it with perfectly crafted type to make it seem 100% deliberate.
The feedback was super helpful, especially the feedback from Tim, as it made me think of new ways to develop the dossier, contrasting perfection with imperfection, and neat type with slightly rushed/messy drawings.
Unfortunately, Georgia is going away for the whole weekend, so communication will have to be through Facebook and sending things back and forth rather than in person. Even though it still works this way, it draws out the whole process and makes it a lot longer due to delays, and people being online and offline at different times.
We have decided to meet on Monday to craft our speech, so hopefully the presentation has been mocked up by then.
