Presentation:
The final critique for this brief was a presentation, in which each person in the class presented their own work (posters and research) for the whole class to view and crit. I personally found this type of critique incredibly challenging compared to other crits we have completed before. However I think it did help somewhat with my fear of public speaking and I have found it easier post crit to give people critique on their work and become slightly more confident in my own thoughts as a Graphic Design student.
When I presented my work the critique I received was that they thought the simplicity and clarity of tone of voice and message were portrayed well. It was also mentioned that my posters are high impact because of they question the viewer, my text poster was especially mentioned due to the use of "for soup?". However it was also mentioned by a couple of people that they didn't like the use of blood on the fin on my image poster- since my critique I have asked people who are not on the Graphic Design course if they would understand the image without the use of blood and they simply answered no.
One of the ideas suggested was to remove the blood splats and make the contents of the soup red, however I don't feel this portrays the message as well:
After the final critique it was also mentioned that to understand my message more I should put my posters into context as to where they could be used:
This is one of my posters shown on a image I found on (google images) of a Chinese billboard. If I were to improve this project I would source someone to translate my posters correctly to make them more internationally relevant- google translate often translate in incorrect grammar.
It was also mentioned that the use of social media could be a large contribution to the increase of awareness and societies perceptions of certain social issues, that is why I have put my posters onto a Tumblr post because that is a social network site which allows people to 'reblog', this works like the traditional word of mouth and can also work the same for sites such as Twitter and Facebook.
