I evaluated her rubbish fonts, cd cover and social conscience poster.( she didn't have a 'the dot is a line that went for a walk' assignment).
Question 1) Is there enough of a difference between formal and informal design?
For the Rubbish fonts thought the idea of using tea-bags was really good. I think that there was a difference between formal and informal. I can see this with how she uses the same material and she spaces the letters equally apart. So distance and proportion is used in her fonts. The white back drop makes the letters stand out and makes the the focal point. Her poster that showed the environmental and humanity factor about stopping poverty was well made. It was able to get her point across and the use of the map was great. It was very creative and thought it through well, it was pleasing to the eye and not harsh. In the poster there was balance and rhythm because she used the light blue colour throughout her work and balanced the heading at the top with the picture at the bottom.
The Cd cover that she made, was very well proportioned will the girl on both sides and the white strip in the middle broke up the the photos of the girl. There was a good amount of unity in the design the colour palette was used throughout and so was the style. The back of the cover was very good it was similar to the front in terms of the colours, fronts and images.
Question 2) Is the concept appropriate for informal?
Yes i think all her work was appropriate for the informal design because they showed the difference between all the different elements. Her awareness of poverty poster was easy to relate to because it is a well known issue and the hands with the maps on them were in the centre, giving the poster something for people to identify with as the map of the world involves everyone showing how we are apart of the issue.
The cover had concepts that showed culture and the statement that was used 'don't you wanna ride?' expressed what the music would be about and it was quite different and originally.
Question 3) Give suggestions as to how improvements can be made & how ideas can be developed further.
Improvements could be made with making the letters like 'b' neater. She could further the ideas buy adding some un-used tea bags and show the process of un-used to used teabag through her letters.
I really like the poster but i think that she could have made the black background less harsh, although it was striking compared to the light blue.
I think that she could take out or fix the strip that says culture because i don't think that it really helped the design but otherwise it was good.
Question 4) Rate the overall aesthetic and explain why? Strength: I liked the concept of using the tea bags. The poster was really good and it conveyed the message of reducing poverty. The cd cover was very good and i liked it, it was original and it was well thought-out, i haven't really seen a cover like that before and it was interesting and different. The design was fluent from the back and front, because she used the same girl and colour.
Weaknesses: Could have put an effect on the teabags , so edit them a bit. For the poster the black background was a bit to harsh for me. The cd cover could have been edit a bit to take away the newspaper looking words that said 'culture' on the top of the cover. The back of the cover was a bit messy looking and confusing.
Opportunities: I think that if the fonts were photo-shopped a bit and changed the background colour it could look better. With the poster i think that she could have put a globe in the hands instead of the map being on the hands. The cd cover could be used today if it fixed the little details.
Threats: Throughout her assignments there wasn't any possibly threats that i could see. All her work was well produced and she obviously knows how to work photoshop.
Well-Done:)
