Poster feedback

During the last session we analysed our outcomes and then looked at other people's work to gain an insight into how others had approached the task.

My own rating:

First: Professional

I like how it's a mix of humour with a serious note so that it's a fun outcome which still gets the message across. It serves the purpose and the pink mixes well with the black and white. It could have more colour though to draw attention to particular elements. Could also have considered digital type, not sure if it would have worked, but could have trialled it.

Professional

Second: Personal

Quite like the idea and think the 'average' reviews work to create humour. I like the colour and the link between text and image with the 'her cups of tea are very good' and cup of tea in her hands. I definitely could have made the text more pronounced and maybe thought more carefully about the composition. I'm not too sure on the character drawing, I think it's the weakest out of the three.

Personal

Third: Aspirational

Think this is a strong idea, but I don't think I executed it well enough. I like the colour placement, and the type is a good contrast. Don't like the typeface or the edges of the bubble- think the digital elements sit too harshly with the hand rendered image. I should have tried to include some black throughout the image to help balance the three.

Aspirational

Because the sessions were fairly short, the group analysing my posters didn't get round to writing mine, but I asked for some verbal feedback, and they said that visually, they thought the aspirational one worked the best, but they preferred the humour in the other two, which is similar to my thoughts, except I thought the finish on the aspirational one wasn't very good, but they quite liked the effect.
