Speaking from Experience: Formative Feedback.

On Friday, we entered the stage of the final crit for the 'Speaking from Experience' module. We were paired up (I was with Oli) to mark another partners work- we had Will and Kirsty.

The process was really interesting, being able to have another person's opinion in the evaluation process was really insightful, as well as getting to talk to Oli properly for perhaps the first time. We had an evaluation form with several questions and areas of analysis to focus upon, and to write about formally.

James and Alex marked our work, and this was the feedback I recieved about my project (having explained it wasn't quite finished yet, not being able to print my tea towels until Monday)...

FMP PROGRESS CRIT

PROBLEM ANALYSIS

"Identification and evaluation of key issues relating to the brief including creative opprtunities, target audiences and appropriate contexts."

Comments:

-Nice design but the colour scheme might suit a younger audeience.

-Nice subtle humour on the postcards.

-Tea towel would look very good, would work well.

-I feel the information inside the booklets and post cards is perfect for the target audience.

INSUFFICIENT  SATISFACTORY  GOOD  VERY GOOD  EXCELLENT

CONTEXTUAL UNDERSTANDING

"Awareness of the creative and professional context for the work produced, informed by the critical analysis in a range of appropriate contemporary creative practices and methods of distribution."

-I think this would be suited for students, however, I feel the light blue colour may appeal more to a younger audience.

INSUFFICIENT  SATISFACTORY  GOOD  VERY GOOD  EXCELLENT

RESEARCH

"Evidence of the ability to gather material from a breadth of sources using a range of diverse and inventive primary and secondary research methods appropriate to the brief."

-It is evident that a lot of research and effort has gone into this project.

INSUFFICIENT  SATISFACTORY  GOOD  VERY GOOD  EXCELLENT

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

-I think the content on the cards would work quite nicely as tea towels.

I was really happy with my feedback, and, if anything, that the boys had been overly generous (!)

I had had minor concerns with the colour, worried that it was perhaps a little too bright, so now this has been affirmed, it's a great oppurtunity to do some re-design and print out my designs again before the module hand-in on Thursday.
