Newspaper Club: Final Presentation

Today I presented my newspaper designs to the newspaper club group. I definitely spent way to much researching and the designing was all a bit last minute, so I am going to try and spend more time on it now its over to see if I can improve on it.






Feedback from Darren, Jo and Alex Jarvis:

Print-out would help if it was correct scale on newsprint – greys might not print that well
Good angle, interesting topic
Nice use of pull quotes
Quote highlights possibly the wrong words when read by the reader
Legibility – pink on blue??? Might not read well
No images

Interesting concept/idea clearly explained. Good representations, choices of quotes and information gathered. Visuals could be developed more. Very type driven.

Great concept. You really need to get good with display typography for this project – have a look at how you could make the typo statements out of physical type in the environment rather than relying on the computer – inject more hand-drawn and vernacular type into this project. I think that if you keep on with this and really get it good that the course should do something with it. It’s got a long way to go before it’s 100% resolved but the underlying idea is strong. Maybe you got sucked into the research a little too much – that happens with interesting subjects though and if you can’t do that when you’re a student when can you? Great project overall – keep up this level of thinking.

OVERALL GRADE: 62.
