OUGD601 - Practical - Group Crit Session (22/11)

Questions:
1. How can I produce some element of consistency between the two posters without them looking exactly the same?
2. What poster size would work best with these ideas?

Feedback:
- Working to the same grid system would produce some form of underlying consistency, which you know is there but won't make the layouts look too similar.
- Don't worry too much about the posters looking too similar, the contrast will already be obvious through the use of typography.
- Experiment with using colours which may compliment the words.
- The footer containing the tagline works.
- Think about what context these posters are going to be put it - for instance, perhaps they could be seen on tube station billboards, etc? Once context is given then working out sizes appropriate to this will be easier. However, A3 could also work nicely.

Actions:
1. Figure out what grid system to use in the posters.
2. Think about and decide a context for the posters to be used in.
3. Start designing digital developments of ideas.

Additional feedback:
- Size - think about how this could create an experience in itself - billboard size, could it be pasted around Leeds centre (context)?
- How could the posters be used as one rather than individually - use a possible 2-in-1 format and the idea of perspective where the viewer has to move and engage physically with the posters to be able to see both sides.
- However, could this potentially shift focus away from the message trying to be produced through the posters based on process - shifts it more towards curation and display? - viewers may engage with this idea of perspective more than the intended meaning behind the posters.
