OUGD403 Studio Brief 1 Alphabet Soup Interim Crit

For the interim crit we were asked to select a final ten of our total amount of designs to take and for them to be crit'd by a group of other students. This interim crit is used as a middle way point through the module to get some feedback and advice on how out work is going. I presented my ten individual letterforms I designed and then took the feedback that people gave me on which I should use to go forward with and make into a whole alphabet.

When I went into the crit I had a good idea about which idea I was most probably going to use as I was really in favour of the idea that stemmed from the Penrose triangle, the first idea on this sheet, but I took a selection of ten of these to the crit with me;

I showed the group my final ten designs of which were number  2,4,5,7,8,9,10,12,13 and 15 if you read from top to bottom and left to right on the first picture and then the second picture. I ran the group through the meaning behind my chosen idea and the routes i went down. Of which were down the routes on intricacy, machinery and the ones with a heavy robust aesthetic.

The crit was quite beneficial to me because the group including Simon (my tutor) agreed that the sleekness but the intricacy of the Penrose triangle design coupled with the fact it isn't that hard to reproduce and the simplicity of it works quite well that I should take this font further and look at it as my main option for this task.
