Crit Feedback FINAL REGAGE PRODUCTS

In todays crit we brought in our 3 products which extended on from our History of Brief. I found this session really helpful. I felt allot more comfortable analysing others work in professional manner, it was quite easy to give constructive criticism at this stage in the year. Last year crits were rather daunting but I feel this year is going to be allot easier.

My Crit Feedback

Strengths

• Works as a set really well, its clearly readable and the colours suit the theme.
• Imagery is chosen well
• The flyer is informative
• Stands out because of the bright colours
• Playfulness that suits reggae music
• Design is consistant and neat.
• The layout works well, Images breakup info.
• Nice flow and structure
• Type is easy to read, appropriate across all products creating interest
• Eye Catching

Improvements

• The type in the flyer could be bigger
• Could of chose a more reasonable type.
• Different Stock would be nice.
• Could of included the roots of the tree with the type.
• Printing on wood could of been nice. Laser cutter?
• Either edit the text or ticket holder or edit ticket to 'get your ticket' or state not a real ticket in the flyer to show its promoting. Get rid of speaker image in the leaflet
• Could of made poster more tree shaped.

I agree with the comments made, all the statements made were things I had already thought about. If I had more time I would of played about more with the designs. It would of been nice to print on nicer stock too. I would like to experiment more with more organic materials. It would of been nice to make a real ticket too with perferate edges.
