Interim Review

Layout Design Interim Review 44

The interim review was a half-way point. To look and reflect upon all the workshops you had done until then, and to review some of the spreads in your process book. Catharine Brooking started out the lesson with having a brief look at other student’s previous works. This gave us a huge insight to what they were looking for by commenting on what was good and what was missing. Everything carefully noted down to use in my own process book. After this we went into groups to do our reviews. This to me was the most helpful guidance throughout the entire project. If it hadn’t been for this review my process book would most likely be half the size it is now. As we will get more in depth on the next page, this is where most of my book became a reality.

Feedback

For most of the lecture we were going around the table in our groups. My group isn’t very chatty, so I took the initiative and commented truthfully what I thought about each design. Some feedback might have been a bit rough but that will hopefully help them see what could be better with their design and help it look its best. I would often take pauses to ask if others had any inputs as well which they did. This lasted mostly the entire day with the tutors walking around the groups. I would say luckily for me our group became last. Emma Mills, a former student herself that now studied to becoming a teacher, would look and thoroughly go through my spreads with the criteria in front of us. It was thanks to Emma that I realised how much the project was asking us. When they say “add everything” they really mean everything. With her help I managed to compile a list of the things I needed to put in my book which I found so helpful. She also gave good feedback on what I could improve visually in my design
