Today we had a crit where we presented our progress so far. I have decided on my final concept and wanted some input on what format it should be in. I presented my design sheets along with a rough mock up of what it might look like.
The idea I had was to produce a print based survival kit for the first years which describes the modules, blogs, expectations, essentials and other important information. I wanted to produce each aspect onto one big sheet of either mount board or paper and make the individual printed material removable.
The feedback from the crit was very positive, people thought my concept was very strong and thought it would be very useful for the first years to have. When I asked about the format of my piece there was a mixed review with some people saying each aspect should be individual and maybe kept inside a folder and others thinking the mount board would be more of a keepsake. Some of the limitations of the mount board concept would be that people might not like to remove things and it could also be a nuisance to carry around. One of the resolutions to this problem was to make a digital version which people could access alongside the printed version. I like this idea and think it could work out really well and be very strong. I also feel that it would mean more effort and work will be put into such a important aspect of the module.
