after having my feedback last week from criticality I wasn’t that happy with my grade and really wanted to improve it over the next couple of weeks before my major hand in for my final year grade, so I went and booked a 5 minute with my tutor of criticality Theo just to discuss ways to improve.
In this 5 minute talk with Theo I discussed about my new concept and ways to improve my grade such as making a begin stage of my design as it would help show a story more to the audience and get across the message, Theo said this would be a strong idea and promoted me to exploring my own idea of making a symbol that links to the plastic issues of us drinking it from the clothes we wear, theses idea would promote the start of the issues and the middle of the clothes ending in the ocean and then the final issues of us drinking it the tag will aim to tell people at the stage of buying what their impact has the world and try and cut down fast fashion.
Another way to improve my work so far is adding my work in more context adding all the design together and adding text by it as fit would show more of an exhibition, a way to improve the exhibition more and working from there Theo said about making a friendly merch outcome that helps cut down the plastic in fast fashion and also highlight the issues more for this idea I would have to d a bit more research to get some outcomes ideas to tie my whole concept together but I think this idea could really work.
A graphic way I could improve the project is designing editorial outcomes or print design and show the lifecycle that the clothes go from to and end with being in animals and win the water we drink . After speaking to Theo I really feel that I have enough time and ideas to improve and that I can improve my outcomes and grade.
ways I think I want to take this ideas forward is make a small video of some drinking from the cups with the clothes in and make the tags as I feel the tags links to branding something and it seems something I could put in my portfolio and use.
