I am lost in the differences of them, maybe reshoot them?<br /><br />Legibility: as we discussed I am not a fan of the horizontal tiling. I get confused and extremely distracted. <br /><br />well crafted: on collage 3 make sure the squiggly lines match up perfectly with there they are going. <br /><br />Type: I enjoy the type the only one that I would say needs fixed is on collage 3, the type should be bigger. I also think in collage 1 the type should be filled in with a color instead of picking up the gray background colors. <br /><br />Overall: I am really only seeing collage 3 as a poster that would work. The other two collages are distracting and confusing. <br /><br />Communication: Again I think that the images need to be reworked and the communication of the Imagery will work better.Erica https://www.blogger.com/profile/15625709118232958135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8308791394964807437.post-78580828775869069612010-10-18T08:00:49.433-07:002010-10-18T08:00:49.433-07:00Dylan: (Pole comp 1-3)

Using the progressive line study really does the image justice. <br /><br />Type: In these the type almost gets lost because of its gray tint. I feel it either needs to be black or white. Placement wise it looks very nice and works well with each composition. <br /><br />Legibility: the comps are legible but I feel they are almost too literal sometimes. At the same time I enjoy the literal aspects of them. <br /><br />Craft: Again like we discussed the craft needs to be tightened up so that all the lines go where they are supposed to end and begin. <br /><br />Overall: the first two are very similar and in the last collage I get confused and lost in the design. <br /><br />Communication: I feel the communication is a stretch but after talking to you I completely understand what you are trying to say. I just think you may need to try a different approach to convey that imagery you want to viewers to see.Erica https://www.blogger.com/profile/15625709118232958135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8308791394964807437.post-89295682181245294092010-10-18T07:53:58.311-07:002010-10-18T07:53:58.311-07:00Dylan: ( slant posters 1-3)

Poster 3 on the other hand is nice but the text should be centered. right now it is up to high. <br /><br />Craft: the craft is nice just make sure everything is matched up perfectly. <br /><br />Overal and communication: I really enjoy the line breaking in collage 3. The white lines are really working for me. Communication wise I am unsure how the image relates to the area.Erica https://www.blogger.com/profile/15625709118232958135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8308791394964807437.post-70089545546727560562010-10-15T20:42:15.560-07:002010-10-15T20:42:15.560-07:00Dylan -

I appreciate that you separated the two paragraphs for homework from your personal commentary, but I'm glad you included it all. I particularly like your ending thoughts "Sit down, enjoy the experience, and make something beautiful: It'll be good for you" <br /><br />I think you'll enjoy the narrative aspect of being a designer. We have the ability to share stories, visual and textual, with people and that is meaningful work.Marty Maxwell Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00094001605998863744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8308791394964807437.post-24653735855664181012010-10-05T19:50:32.375-07:002010-10-05T19:50:32.375-07:00thank youthank youDylan Reesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11072934381522464622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8308791394964807437.post-81183833691782666192010-10-05T15:24:07.443-07:002010-10-05T15:24:07.443-07:00I STILL THINK THAT'S A VERY NICE BACKPACK. :B

You both brought a skill to the table the other did not have. You could bounce ideas off one another and advance more quickly than if you worked alone.
