Presentation & feedback

For the presentation we were split into small groups of 5 and presented within the groups to each other. This gave us a much more personal touch to the feedback and i found it a much easier setting to be doing a crit in, especially when i was wanting some good feedback i could use against my work to improve it. It was a good introduction back into doing crits.

Positives:
- Good primary research
- Trip to VW events were of good use
- Thorough secondary research
- Great presentation - innovative use of gif image
- Final products well printed and finished to a very high standard
- Good attempt on binding technique for first time of doing it
- Illustrations and Editorial were amazing
- Good interest within topic
- Final product brilliant, well informed and great quality of photography
- Great primary research
- Good product research
- Shown process taken well
- Moving imagery on slides works well whilst were talking - keeps interest in presentation
- Strong final product
- Good primary imagery

Constructive:
- Front cover could do with larger VW association so can be easily recognisable
- Check spelling and proof read
- Watch paragraph lining on main body
- Align titles/body copy within spread to balance out


I am very happy with the feedback that i got from my group and it made me feel like it was worth all the work i put into the project over the summer. The positive feedback was very good and i appreciate all the good things that were said about my work. For the negatives they were all things i knew about myself. With the front cover i was going to laser cut out a VW transporter onto the front over but i ran out of time to do this process. For the spelling i was aware of the mistakes once i had printed the booklet, which was too late.
These small constructive comments are good for me and are the smaller things that i need to look at when designing to get my work up to that high end standard and make it the best it can be.
This crit did definitely help with that and i found it very useful.
