Feedback
During the critique, I pitched my idea to a group and explained my concept and creative process of how I got to my final outcome. A lot of the feedback was positive as the group liked my primary research from when I was at The Yorkshire Sculpture Park. This gave me a strong starting point, and I think my group picked up on that as they all liked the way I developed my ideas from primary sources to secondary sources. I was successful in identifying the positive and negative aspects of my work as I wanted my presentation to be balanced. I showed everyone my thoughts and processes which allowed the audience to see how my ideas grew and I was praised for justifying why I made those choices. I think the audience is then put into the same context that I was in. A lot of the feedback that I received said that I had a 'deep, thorough, varied approach to the brief' which I think is due to the amount of research I did before designing. This research and my take on the brief created a thorough concept. A lot of people picked up on how I justified my colour theory which I was really pleased about. I have struggled a lot with colour palettes but they liked how I justified my change to a monochromatic scheme.
On the other hand, it could be argued that all of these influences have been mashed together to create a visually confusing outcome. It was suggested to me that I should just use the geometric shapes, without the background because then it would be more likely to work on different scales and in different mediums. My group also felt that I should have showed them more of my initial ideas in sketches because this is a better way of translating ideas.
I decided to see what my final outcome would look like if I simplified:
I much prefer this outcome because it is extremely simple yet only the shapes are required. I feel this outcome better reflects The Yorkshire Sculpture park because it is crisp yet visually interesting to look at because of the different qualities of line and shape. I could see this being much better for other mediums such as websites and phones as it's simple but strong due to the contrast in black and white. Without all of the previous research I wouldn't have come to a conclusion like this so I am still pleased but I need to remember that I can go back on myself as I can sometimes bury too deep. I also need to keep the medium in which it will be displayed on when designing which is important, especially in this technical age.
