Week 5: Final Class Critique

Today's class was again focused on doing class critiques on everyone's developed posters. In terms of my own design, I am very pleased with how it is developing, and I have been making sure to consistently work on refining it so that it was at a near-finished stage for today's critique, so there are only a small number of minor adjustments needed before printing. It was quite surprising actually to see the number of people who hadn't actually completed all three posters yet, or were yet to place in grid systems or print in A2, considering there is only one week til the final hand-in.

I was very happy with the critique of my poster, there were only a small number of adjustments to make, such as changing the dashes to 'en dashes', changing the colour of certain text/percentages etc, and adding a map of New Zealand or other subtle feature into the negative space on poster 3. Overall the teachers seemed extremely happy with how my posters have been consistently developing and improving each week.

For the last 45 minutes of the class, once most of the critiques were finished, I began working on these changes and got most of them finished. There are only a few small changes to make before I head in to get my posters properly printed for hand-in. Once I make these changes, I will first print out a mock-up A2 version (just 2x A3's each) so that I can make sure everything is perfectly refined before going to get it printed. I will update my blog again once all of the necessary adjustments have been made to my poster.
