Today we have had our final crit for Studio Brief 02.
I left my type specimen on my desk for people to have a look at and leave feedback on. As a whole, I was impressed by the feedback I received as it was mostly positive!
The majority of comments I received said that my typeface represented my word very well, and that the serifs were a key part of this working so well. There were also lots of comments about how my strokes were wobbly and imperfect and how this added character and personality to my typeface.
There were comments about how the colour scheme used in my type specimen was really fitting for my chosen word, with someone writing it 'adds interest and contributes to the informal feel'.
The only two negative comments I received were about the same thing - people said that 'wobbly' strokes weren't as appropriate for my chosen word, stating that a smoother, rounder finish would've suited the adjective 'plump' better.
Overall, this feedback has been extremely useful in helping me analyse and critique my own design decisions. It has given me an extra and different viewpoint of my designs and made me see them in a different light. I will take this feedback and advice on board and use it to help inform my design decisions in further projects in the future.
