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.

New Research and New Ideas
Define/Ideate/making/Ideate


Armed with my new set of research and set up a page defining different
 visual elements of the 3 signs for each site.
I also gathered more visual examples that  I felt were honing in on a few particular styles.

I have produced a set of three  A5 designs I fell depict my sites much more closely.

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)
