Meeting with Lee
critique/understand

I sat down with lee  and we looked over everything I had up to this point. she brought attention to my inconsistent layout across the spreads and my type hierarchy was still not quite right. after looking over my workbook she said It would be a good idea to backtrack to some earlier designs I had done and work with those ideas. she suggested I "immerse" myself in artist models and really concentrate on the use of colour and "clustering of information".

one on ones and critique
Critique/understand/mock up

my second mock up was critiqued first by fellow students in a formal critique and then by Caroline during one on ones. the feedback I received from students was that my communication symbols/icons were to big and/or to bold and they were to prominent on the page. they also discussed whether my inconsistency in the fonts used for my headings was a let down and I decided that it was something that needed to be addressed. Caroline told me to focus my developments on my type hierarchy, making the headings consistent, the body copy smaller and reducing the size of the communication icons. she also suggested that I experiment with a sans serif font.

Critique and problem areas
Making/Critique/Understand


I took my initial brochure mock up to class in which it was critiqued, I've realised that consistency is an issue that needs to be sorted, as is my grid structure which varies from page to page. We a lectorial on typography which helped me understand where I went wrong and what I need to do to improve my design.

Critique of Initial Designs
Critique
My Initial Designs were critiqued in class. I've been made to realise that I need to reflect the differences in my sites more strongly. fellow students determined that the film strip was a strong element as was the dancer. however the bottle and glass of the lighthouse was to dominant for the overall composition.

Critique and a Re-Think 
Understand/Define/Critique

After some class Critique I have realised where my Collages failed - they did not represent "cinema"
after being forced to re think some of my ideas I have decided I need to gather more information on my sites, and realised  the penthouse will not fit in with my project very well, and I have decided to go with the Roxy instead.

Im off to gather further information on the Roxy cinema and my other sites (the lighthouse and reading)

CONFIRM SET AND PROCESS PRESENTATION
Understand/Critique/ideate/Define


We discussed our 3 sets of 3 choices to give and gain feedback. My ideas are good but my theme needs to be stronger.
we attended a presentation on the design process

I now have some research to do on my ideas, looking in particular for a stronger theme.
