Crit feedback 24th October

Here is the feedback for the last peer crit. I received a lot of really helpful feedback. I have already applied some of the feedback to my work and I am looking at the rest to see how I can use it to develop my work.

We were told to sit in groups after the big crit and discuss pieces of feedback that we agreed and disagreed with.

The one piece I disagreed with was about the name of my chocolate brand, someone has put that they dont think the name works. I have dismissed this piece of feedback as the person failed to give me a valid reason and offered me no alternative. The reason for the name of my name for the chocolate brief was outlined in initial idea generation.

The piece of feedback that I found very useful and quite motivating was about the orange chocolate packaging. They said that the pattern on the box didnt work as well as the die cutting I had used on the mint packaging. I had a lot of positive feedback on the mint die cut packaging which I am very pleased about.

Peer group feedback 24/10/12

I think my crit went ok, to be honest I didnt have as much work with me as I should of which probably didnt help. Because I had only really started one brief properly and had a rough concept for the others, I didnt get as much constructive feedback as I could of, due to my own fault.

From this feedback I have begun to make changes to my designs so what feedback I did get has been helpful.

BAGD 06 Self Promotion

We were told to bring in our current business card and a promotional piece and stick it on the wall for everyone to see. I put up my current business card and creative CV. The standard of work put up was amazing! Everyones self promotion will develop throughout the year to an even greater standard. I know that mine needs working quite a bit.

This is my current Creative CV that I put up. I am currently writing a brief linked to Design Practice OUGD301 to develop my self promotion into something original and exciting.
