Alphabet Type - Formative Feedback

Monday, 19 October 2009

Today we were split into pairs to then mark another pairs work. We had to look at the Visual thinking module/unit outcomes in order to break down the project to mark it, and to help understand what we have to work towards to get the marks we need to pass each module.


Here are the results of my project being marked. Both responses are under the titles and illustrated in different colours.

Strengths:

Lots of research - good development. Clear view of the 'Star trek' Theme.
In depth research, clear process of thought in the development, clever construction and type symbols.

Weakness:

Only one theme could of expand on the person more, some letters are overloaded too much going on and images illustration could have been constructed around the shape of the letter in order to make them more legible.
Only one theme throughout. I think? Shame some of the arm actions don't make the letters themselves.

Actions:

Make lines more bold, maybe block fill some areas perhaps the costume to create greater contrast and therefor more legible perhaps a conclusion of colour.
Could try block filling/simplifying. Try maybe the arms move involved with the shape.

Self Evaluation:

All the points above are valid, i think i went too over the top when it came to drawing the letters and kind of went off track. The points above reiterate what Fred said on Friday in my crit, i have already started developing new letters trying to make them simpler and completely taking the arms out of the equation and they do look better.
