Play Play Play: feedback and self evaluation



Strengths:

  • "Wacky". This was written in the positive emotive response box, and it was nice to see that people had picked up on the fun feeling that I was trying to portray!
  • I also received a few compliments in regards to aesthetics and the technique I had used. I am really enjoying using shape as a tool in my image making, in both process and results. The textures seem to offer a unique result. One comment reads "[the textures] add so much to quite simple ideas. Really bold and draws the eye"
  • The three work well as a series with consistent use of tone of voice and media choices. However, it has been commented that the blackness in the type as image breaks the series.


Weaknesses:

  • Clichéd ideas. I shouldn't be surprised that using a fly for the word fly resulted in some negative feedback. I did try to make it more interesting
  • On the other hand, some ideas were too obscure and hard to understand! Seeing so many good conceptual ideas from others in the feedback session has only encouraged me to spend more time thinking about it in future projects.
  • Although I decided against adding the door (as seen in my last blog post) I do wonder if I should have kept it, if not temporarily just for the feedback session. I'm concerned that the final out come is boring and whether the pros of adding the somewhat clunky door would have outweighed the cons.

 Overall this has been one of my least successful projects, but I hope to be able to take these points and move onwards with future works.
