Poster considerations

We had a Crit with Fred to kick start us on a brief we hadn't quite arrived with yet even though it is just a couple of weeks to the deadline. It was an interesting crit and not exactly what I expected but I did find it really useful as I realised it took me going back to basics to get me back on track again. It was interesting to see the importance of really analysing why you are doing a brief and what you plan to get out of it.  I think with this brief inparticular I am really excited about getting started so it was easy enough for me to work out why.
It was also good to focus on 'the problem' Which each brief proposes for us to solve as designers.  Again something we learnt right at the start of the course but something which is easily over looked when it comes to just getting work done so you are busy.

I really want to make the most of this brief and I feel this is a good starting point for me to get there.

Fred mentioned about really over exaggerating with how many visual explorations you need.  It is important to start big and then windle it down so that you end up with somehting perfect. Rather than thinking of 2 things and expanding on them.

It also got me thinking about my other briefs and where I should be going with them.  Specifically with the brief I am collaborating on with Arthur.  We really need to sit down and ask why we are doing it and what all the problems are we need to solve and then just go crazy with concepts and visual exploration.
