OUGD403 Studio Brief 2 Final Crit

For the final crit for this brief the crit style was more of a presentation to a big group, in this brief I . In this crit I explained the main design decisions that led to the final piece for this brief. I explained that the reason for my design style led from the fact of the notion of intricacy that came from my word mechanical. The second design decision that I made was to only create the uppercase letters to reflect on the heavy and robust notion of the word mechanical. Finally I explained the design decision behind my grid and the fact that the reason my grid is so simple as it is only made up of around 16 lines where as normal letterform grids comprise of many many more lines. This was to make my letterforms reflect on the sense of uniformity that comes from my word mechanical.

For this crit simon told me that he really like the end product of this brief that I had created and that the points I made In the crit about my design decisions covered all the basis of the explanation I needed to give about my work. In this crit simon also told me that it could be beneficial to talk about things of which maybe I would have liked to go better in my work. A form of constructive criticism and this got me thinking that the one thing Im less sure about in ym final designs is that due to the very simplistic design of letters such as I and T that I found it very hard to make it as related to the Penrose triangle as the rest of the letter while still keeping similar rules between all the letters and this is something I would have liked to have more time to play with and find an alternative.

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this unit as it gave me the chance to advance my skills with illustrator.
