DESIGN BOARD WORKSHOP
This workshop was a crit on our concept boards that we had produced in preparation to the task this morning. We also brought our design boards from previous modules. The point of the session was to strengthen our boards and make them the best they could be. We sat in groups around a table.
The first stage of the session was addressing what should and shouldn't be involved in design boards.
What should be on design boards:
- Board numbers
- Final outcomes
- High resolution images
- Consistent layout
What shouldn't be on design boards:
- Initial sketches (when not appropriate)
- 1st person e.g. I chose this because..
- Spelling mistakes
- Food stains, water marks, creases
- Print problems/ print resolution
- Too much text (TLDR)
- Scrapbook (Too little to no text on boards)
We were then told to swap design boards and crit each other, paying particular attention to spelling mistakes, grammar, layout and the lists above.
Some of the general feed back that I got across all of my boards was the lack of page numbers, page numbers are instrumental in helping a designer to sell the message efficiently. The lack of page meant that it was tricky for people to navigate between boards, it also meant that people often saw the final product before understanding the concept.
