CRIT FEEDBACK

Had another really useful crit, it was good to look at how far everyone had come and to see how everyone thought i had improved. generally i had postitive feedback, the most important being that my blog was easier to navigate and you could clearly see the development in a more clear and concise way. this was great because it means that im on the right track, im still trying to improve it, but it's getting there. This is reassuring as well because im making some significant decisions at the moment and i need them to be appreciated when it comes to the hand in.

People made some valid points of choices i've made, and really helped me focus my development for the future.

Some of the main issues that came up were i need to think about packaging for the posters, and how they are going to work as a set. I knew this already but i am at the stage where i need to consider this.
Another point was that i need to do some more development for ISTD, and really get the mock ups etc ready so that people can see how you would interact with them instead of sketches. Again this is fair enough, and i needed to be told.

// NOTES FROM THE CRIT AND LIST TO DO

CRIT

I had a really useful crit today. We basically decided to structure the crit to best suit what we wanted, which worked out great because it gave us the opportunity to give appropriate feedback and receive it too. 

The general overview of the crit for me was that i have done a lot of work which in their terms is great, but Arthur's made a valid point that the main points aren't pointed out to you so although i have work it doesn't necessarily show what i have achieved and where I'm going. I think  theres two elements that are contributing to this, firstly as I'm working across briefs at the same time the posts are sporadic and don't necessarily relate. And secondly, i need to work in a more cohesive and controlled way, that way it should structure the outcomes better, and give a definition to my blog which its lacking. 

In my presentation i made it clear that the poster brief is currently the one I'm working on as i want to get it finished and done, so i managed tog et some good feedback on that. Aaron's i think being the most relevant as he made a valid point about the context of the posters because i advent thought about that yet, and i need to spend some time thinking about that. 

Generally i think I'm on the right track, and everyones feedback has really helped me see weaknesses that i wouldn't normally look at, and we decided to keep an eye on each others projects throughout the module so that we can help each other.
