WWF - Final Crit Feedback

        At the time of the final critique, Rebecca and I were still completing our assets, so were unable to present our final slides. Instead, Rebecca created some mock ups which clearly demonstrated our chosen compositions. Rather than presenting our boards to the group, we were instructed to view each others' work without the benefit of having the artist there to explain their project. It is important that our work is clear, as our tutors will not e able to ask us to explain our projects when it comes to marking.

        We received a good amount of positive feedback, which was encouraging, yet it also seemed that a number of people assumed our presentation slides were a storyboard, despite us displaying a brief analysis which explained that this was not the case.

Here is a selection of the comments we received, and my responses to any queries:

• Someone wrote that they liked the consistent image of the Earth as an apple...
• ...while another questioned the representation of the Earth as an apple. Our reasoning behind using the apple is that it is a globe shaped, natural object, which could be dressed to look like the planet, and consumed as we consume the Earth's resources. It is also fragile and transient, as is the Earth the Living Planet Report describes.
• We were complimented on our use of media, colour and visual style, and our original concept sketches.
• We received a couple of comments regarding the quantity of text on our explanatory board. However, we realise that this is not necessary for submission. It was simply there to explain the brief.
• Thankfully, some people let us know they thought Rebecca's mock ups were clear and concise...
• ...and that our clear, simple designs were a good fit for the brief.
• One person even wrote that they loved our idea.

Otherwise, there were a couple of small issues with typos, and page numbering, which can be quickly resolved before submission. After this feedback, we felt confident in our idea, and that the slides would look even better when composed of our finished assets.
