All in all, a very helpful crit that allowed me to see what I could not, in terms of where to go and what to do with my briefs.
The responses to my questions were answered in a range of ways:
(NR - Nat and Rob, MR - Meryem and Robyn)
1. NR - look at advertising/context, how it would be promoted, through the website?
MR - "It's strong enough that anyone who should know, will know"
- This means that I have successfully reached a closing point for the brief in regards to overall design, but need to look into how the magazine would be promoted.
2. NR * see above
MR - perhaps some additional print material - stickers, posters etc
3. NR - Watch out for widows, has good size and style, but use discolouration for the background to keep it in with the "old world"feel
MR - Yes
4. General agreement, just develop a bit more.
5. NR - Could have posters or packaging instead
MR - Enough publications, just need something printed or boxed to tie it all together.
6. YES!
7. NR - Keep eyes same over all illustrations, type is great and variety of type works for the identity, but use specific colours.
MR - Awesome, just keep going with them
8. *see above
9. Great extension, keep going.
SUMMARY:
+ I need to have more annotation on my posts to inform and explain everything I have done up until this point
+ Despite loss of files, I need to post relevant info/development work to enhance marks and presentation
+ Why am I doing something?
+ Applying deigns to a range of products
+ Visually impressive.
