Bearing in mind that there is only two weeks until hand-in, it was crucial to get critiques this week, so that you still have one more critique next week. I was surprised at how many people decided not to present anything, which meant they would only get one critique before the final hand-in which doesn't seem like anywhere near enough to get a well refined poster.
I presented a few different variations, my few strongest ones, from the bunch that I had printed out over the past week. I got some helpful feedback from Annette during the class which has steered me in the right direction.
Annette liked the use of crosses as the symbols, although said that although the colour palette suggests death, there is nothing about the colours or symbols used to suggest it is about a plane crash in Antarctica. She suggested trying to make it so it is super easy to understand what it is about right from the start. People should be able to have a strong idea of what the poster is about without needing read the text. The text is just there to further inform them on the disaster.
I stayed around for a bit after class and started developing the next concept, using a lot of blues and whites to help represent Antarctica and Mt. Erebus. I already like the way that this is developing, and am looking forward to how it develops in the coming weeks.
All of these have been printed out and placed in my physical workbook for hand-in.
I have also attached a couple of these initial concepts below:
