PDF Feedback

Feedback I gave to others:

Lee's work

Rya gun research really interesting

Lovely font

Clear layout - I can see where you are going with your pdf, and the journey your work has been on.

I also think the communication part is really strong.

Kat

Really thorough reflections. loved hearing about connectiosn like the Truman show, as didn’t realise this ws an inspiraiton for the project.I enjoyed how you reflected on the social issues with documenting our daily lives. Something i found really helpful when I was looking at something similar in my project was a film called intersection by the design agency Superflux.

Think the graudating thickness idea is really cool, and your final otucome will be something lovely and tactile!

Another strong poitn is how you have throoughly researched your fonts rather than chosen them at random.

I think you have approahced your project in a very organised way which come sthrough in your pdf.

Also, your illustrations for the postcard workshops are really fluid and engaging!

I am glad you reflected on your practice and made the app more artistic than commercial, as a lot of design is trend based, but if you make something unique you’re ahead of the curve.

I think your work is very thorough at every stage of the design process. i wonder if there is a way you could devleop it even further? Maybe through using sound on the app, or making a connecting website? Or thinking about how different people might interact with your app - e.g. children, older people, those who are partially sighted etc, and how you could cater the app to one group’s needs?

I think the design of your pdf really fits the ideas you are communicating.

I wonder if there is a way to hone in reseacrh focus from Japan, so its not vague?

Your reseacrh and reflections are really thorough! I’d love to know why you choose this topic in your pdf - how did you come abut on these ideas, why does it interest you? If it is personal experience that could really enhacnce your project i think.

I’d love to see more ideations, experimentation and sketches.

One rartist reference i would give is whooli Chen wose work has the handrawn qualities I think yours does as well, and she references Taiwan - she also studied at UAL.

Obviously love that Scarbados ets a mention, and that you can really see your textiles background through the evolution of this project.

I think your illustratiosn for this project are really bold and fun. I would definitely keep in some of your earlier ideas, and experimenting with 3d etc and they’re a really interesting part of your process. Also connects back tp the rugs you’ve made, so maybe you can reference those too?

Your work is reminding me fahsion illustrators like Jordi Labanda and Anjelica roselyn. (https://www.anjelicaroselyn.com/)

Cant wait to see what you make!!!

Feedback I received:

Start getting this into the sections for the pdf, and also think about writing a really short intro to how some of these ideas link theoretically between the 80’s and now? There is a lot of commonality between these times politically, discussions about race, gender, inequality, etc etc, so this would be good to develop as a short but good intro for someone who has never seen the project.

There is some good relevant research on here, as you pick out the most important bits for your pdf, just keep focusing your annotation and reflections on how looking at them helped your ideas develop and if sources helped you to work out:

Theoretical ideas in the work?

ways of working?

use of colour,

presentation? etc etc. The clearer-er you are about how looking at this helps you develop you ideas the better, but it doesn't need to be really long....

Also, with your tests and experiments, as you pick out key points, keep focusing on how making these helped you to make decisions, work things out, and how these are visually communicating your concepts and ideas to your audience – you have got a lot of these thoughts on your blog, and when you come to put your pdf together, you can clarify and develop these as written discussion

I looked at your workflow link. There are so any interesting processes that are worth including in your PDF that I am sure you will have a great pdf for submission. I especially like how you experimented with different media to find the best way to realise your final product. I think that will be really valuable to emphasise in your pdf. On another note, I think it would be good to have a post on your workflow for a clearly scanned version of your final product for marks in the realisation criteria.

Overall, really nice work : )
