Feedback From My Professor

On March 2nd, I had an individual meeting with my professor on my data book. Feedback from my classmates is always appreciated, but my professor always provides me with specific directions and ideas that make more sense for the type of project I'm trying to create.

For the data book, the feedback went a bit like this:

• Go for more of a cohesive color theme, specifically in the more natural tones of tan and gray that I've already used. The reds/pinks seem a little off in the whole grand scheme of this data book.

• Make the font bigger - look at other work like this to see just how big it should be, like informational pamphlets. This font must run small.

• Bring the images in the "About the Creator" section to the left page and make them bigger. Also, put the copy text into two paragraphs. You can break away from the usual text theme that is used in the other paragraphs throughout the book since this isn't the data you're presenting anymore.

• Call to action for the posters! Maybe add QR codes that bring you to your site under each poster, or if there's something we can do.

• Push the text more. Make the text in the paragraphs left-justified or full-justified. Maybe bring this into InDesign to do more with the text there instead.

For my t-shirt designs, it wasn't too much:

• When making the Our First People design the cover for the data book, make it smaller and possibly put a frame around it.

I completely agreed with all of this feedback. I was also so relieved that it was all in the details now, and not anything that could stress me out too much. It's just about perfecting all of my work and preparing them for print... aka the final product.

Sorry for the lack of images in this post. Next time, you'll hear about the feedback from my class. Only a couple more critiques left... yikes.
