During this crit with Amber and Simon as well a select member of peers, we were given 4 minutes to present our work so far, our ideas and thoughts, as well as posing some questions in order to gain feedback on what works well and where there is room for improvement. This was the first time I had been in a crit under these circumstances. I found it really useful and insightful getting feedback from fresh eyes and perspectives.
The feed back that I was given has been very useful to me and I plan to use it in the coming week to make my work as strong as possible. These are the main focus' i have taken away from the crit:
- Choice of existing typography to edit: In the crit the tutors said that i should experiment with a wider range of typography as my base letter form, including using italics and bolds to make my work more dynamic, and to see how it changes the aesthetics of the final piece.
- Stick with strongest idea: Before the crit i was worried that i was too focused on one aspect of my partners personality. However the group feedback was that the idea i had generated was subtle and effective. I have now decided to stick with the idea, combining my partners love of motorbikes with the classic style of her favourite designer Si Scott.
- creative and unique glyphs: Lastly it was brought to my attention that I hadn't considered the glyphs and how they would fit in with the final design of my typeface. I want the glyphs to follow the same design as the letterforms, i also don't want them to be a last minute thing and look out of place, so i will be devoted some time to make sure they are just as strong and cohesive as the rest of the letter forms.
