evaluation of studio briefs

Brief : Editorial

Strengths :

Appropriate choice of subjects, variety of illustrative styles, good development of photoshop skills.

Weaknesses : 

Could have been more experimental e.g. explored more image making styles such as collage or 3d/2d, could have made better use of the layout space.

Brief : Type as image

Strengths : '

real life' poster most successful, colours and theme appropriate to content, good development of pattern making skills (wallpaper design)

Weaknesses : Not good readability for 'balance' poster, wallpaper design could be improved, could put them into a context.

Brief : Scale/frame/format

Strengths :

Scale appropriate could be understood from 20ft, colour and stock work

Weaknesses : 

Decorative elements that were unnecessary; frame and motif

Brief : 2d/3d/2d

Strengths : 

Appropriate interpretation of 2d image

Weaknesses : 

Poor photograph - could take better picture

Brief : Book works

Strengths : 

Book has a purpose making it potentially more appealing to buyers, good screen printing, good time management, better more decisive decision making, improved crafting skills, appropriate choice of stock....

Weaknesses : 

Lost half of the pages! (bad organization), could have made more pages, could have considered better packaging; cellophane works reasonably well but could have designed the scale of the book with this in mind as I could have used proper bags which might have looked more professional.
