Week Six - Session One

Bearing in mind that today's session was the final critique before Friday's hand-in, I made sure to have a poster and brochure developed to a high standard, as well as my banners and fourth item mocked up in-situ.

Near the beginning on the class, Donald stopped and had a look at my banners and fourth item, and really liked how they related to my design conferences theme, while still developing and progressing the imagery.

Towards the end of class, Lee came over for the one on one critique, and I showed her through my whole transmedia suite. She gave me a few minor suggestions for the brochure, such as nudging some type over slightly on two pages (Hannes von Dohren and Stefan Sagmeister pages), and said how the page with the pull out quote, being full blue with white text reversed out, was really strong and powerful, so suggested finishing the brochure with that as well, by having the back page full with the Massey and Design Institute logos reversed out in white.

Lee really liked the banners, especially the large scale white banner, how it used the windows to it's advantage, and the spanner extended down longer than the other tools because it was on a longer window, while other tools such as the scalpel were cut off short since they were on a shorter window.

For the cleaning product, Lee suggested using just one cleaning product, possibly and "all purpose cleaner", or even using the "quick detailer", as I had mentioned yesterday in my blog post, it has quite a nice connection since it's about how long it actually takes to polish type, so the "Quick Detailer Mist & Wipe" almost acts as a solution to it. Therefore, I will use one cleaning product, and have it come with the sponge and rag in a little set as seen in the photo.

My whole transmedia suite has been printed out and placed into my physical workbook, as well as attached to my most recent blog posts.

I'm going to look to head in and print today or tomorrow, after making the final few changes. I'm really happy with how this has turned out, and I'm looking forward to Friday's presentation, not only to see everyone elses work, but to display my work and see how it looks as a whole transmedia suite once professionally printed.
