Crit with Lorenzo and Joe

Today I had my first crit since returning from the Easter break. I was a little worried about this one, due to the sheer quantity of the work I was proposing to complete, I think it was only when I began to prepare for this session that I realised certain deliverables were perhaps not pheasable.
In my brief I had proposed to produce a website that visually deals with questions about how things work, akin to websites like Yahoo Answers, but a visual response rather than verbal. This would not be the main focus for the FMP however, with the actual focus going on the content, which would take the form of several example responses. In this way, the website would act simply as a context for the main body of work I am proposing to produce.

My suspicions were proven correct as both Lorenzo and Joe pointed out that to produce a fully developed website alongside the content (which is really the main focus) is no small task- however to do the plan and mockups for the website is achievable, especially as I had already began to sketch how the website would operate. I had organised the questions I had received as part of my primary research into three catergories;

Objects
Systems
Actions

Members of the crit group then suggested that each example should correspond to each one of the three catergories, therefore making at least 3 example responses a key part of my deliverables.

The crit was useful in this key respect as it allowed me to direct my focus on these delivables, and with less emphasis on getting bogged down in software I know little about, I am able to focus on what I know best and get work done.

I will post the feedback form from this crit soon.
