Issues Raised

~ Good ideas will it be facts ou are using or persuasion?
~ Alot of experimentation and research done in to how the poster will fold out.. i like the idea of the martini glass
~ How well will the poster be able to communicate if its symbols?
~ Might scare people
~ 3D poster
~ Other forms of promotion other than a poster?
~ Envelope design



Actions to be taken to resolve issues raised:

I have taken into account all the above issues i have decided not to use the complex idea of the unfolding poster not right use for a nightclub poster also to add to this point i was trying to make it too simple by using symbol yet the issue about drunk females may find it difficult to understand. Other forms of promotion i like the idea of using stickers yet because i am targeting a more adult age group wont be as efffective so i have had the idea of beer mats on the bar with facts about Rape.

Unaware of what actually goes in ours drinks maybe from the bar staff or people in a club?

IS this being communicate to you in a clear and focused way? UNSURE

What could be developed further?

It would work if the finalized idea is here.

Have the posters been kept simple and to the point? YES

Is the statement fact or question being proposed?

A question of do you know what is in your drink?

Has the restrictionof the two colours plus been met? YES

Are the two colours appropriate to the solution? NO

Why are the two colours inappropriate?
Has to be finalized needs to look at trying another colour maybe black and white and for the illustration and type and background colour to liven the page up.

Do the posters work as a set or a series? NO

Why do they work/dont work as part of of a set set or series and could this be developed further?
Image and type poster missing The identity between the two posters arent too clear. Add identity by colour /font/illustration/style.


Is it clearly evident which poster is type, image and type and image?
Yes the type and type and image make the othe poster.

Are the posters memorable, immediate high impact and clear?
Type needs to be stronger and clear maybe look at restaurant menus. bold illustrations would work if produced on a computer.

Do you feel the brief has fufilled to its potential? NO
Further feedback....

Produce missing poster on computer add another colour and think about what type you can use?

In response to these critical responses I believe that my typeface does have a logic system to it and the letterforms we were told needed to work as individual letterforms as well as in a set and with mine you can tell there a set. Although they would have worked better together if they were lower case when put together to spell Sam for example. I dont think I am going to change the way i have produced the alphabet as I personally find appeal to the style.

Which personality traits did you choose to respond to and apply the typeface?

I responded to the traits which sam had responded to my questions he old me he gets bored quite easily distracted. I got from his body language he was a pritty quiet person very emotionally closed.

What are the reasons behind the design decisions you have made for the typeface?

sams favourite typeface was univers i discovered from this that bauhaus had created i it came about in that era so i decided to base the main frame on bauhaus.

In what ways are the results effective?

The colours are effective sams favourite colour was also red and i thought I wouldnt be able to use such a vibrant colour to display the personality of such a quiet boy yet when i seen him with his friends he was a different person so a little colour splash would be relevant to what he was like not loud most of the time but can be!

Reffering to the typeface that has been designed for you.

What personality traits did you interpret from the typeface designed to represent you?

Childish and playful

Describe what you think of the typeface?

Yes it is legible possibly too obvious it hasn't been manipulated alot and this is dissapointing too much focus on the childish i said i like watching kids programs doesn't make me a childish person.

In what ways effective and ineffective of representing you?

Effective because it is a little care free and playfull and would be somewhat attracting to a child because it is based on the letter fridge magnets. Very innefective because as a typeface it isnt something which i find interesting as a piece of design work also colours i very much dislike.

1. I would hope to have a better understanding of how type and image work together in order to get the most effective poster/leaflet or advertisement.
2. I would like a broader knowledge of artist and understanding of how the work and what inspires them to work in this way.
3. To have a close link within the industry and be able to collaborate my ideas within a professional environment.
4. Be able to work within the areas of graphic design which i am not most comfortable with at the moment.
5. Work within a group and have a valid role which my ideas will be considered and used.
6. To be able to evaluate work in a professional manner using correct graphic terms.
7. Improve on digital photography and manipulating images using the adobe programs.
8. Experiment with mark making and image making by printing methods such as screen printing.
9. Have my designs go to print within industry.
10. Be a freelance artist during the 3rd year before getting my degree.

How To ....Self Evaluation.

What role(s) did you take on in this group?

I researched all packaging ideas which we chose our main idea from. I also took on the role of illustrating the project in order to make it appear as more of a pack and be linked together in some way i did research for these also. I worked on our initially ideas also and wrote the narration for the presentation.

How well do you think you performed in the role(s)?

I believe i interacted in a sufficient enough so that we all had a range of different ideas to go with. I thoroughly enjoyed researching the ideas for the illustration the research was difficult for what they wanted to produced i looked at nets and templates for a range of envelopes and sick bags parcels.

How well do you think you worked as a group?

Very well we had good communication skills although it seemed a little better at the beginning through the concept n idea stage than towards the end when we were producing the products. We were unsure how to share the load of work we knew what we was doing yet no one wanted to be appointed the leader of the group yet i think this was due to the fact we didn’t know each other that well and therefore wasn’t sure of everyones strengths.

What were the positives of working in a group?

The positives of working in a group was we was able to see how different styles could collaborate to become a strong final product. i have made closer friends from working closer with a small group of people in the studio and also have knowledge of peoples skills so can ask for help whenever i need it.

What were the negatives of working in a group?

Hard to organise time and keep all the group focused and busy. Difficult to please everyone as we are strong minded designers and have opinions on certain things.

What will you do differently next time?

Organise time and specific jobs for people to get on with instead of feeling lost.

Where could you have improved your resolution?

More research to the public rather than internet based. Needed to spend more time on presentation to make sure it was all rehearsed and finished to a good enough quality.

What are the strengths of your presentation?

Humorous and interactive.
