Final Crit

Just a run through of what was discussed at the final crit (really is a final crit, as it is the last one timetabled in for our time at uni!)
First of all Fred made a good point when he asked why I had asked for feedback on the other (practically finished briefs), when it is the current brief 'How Things Work' that I wanted the most feedback on. In fact, almost everyone was guilty of this, and when it came down to critting each other we really only had time for one brief to give thorough feedback on.
One of the questions I brought to the table was 'what do people think of the title 'Vexplanations'? The overwhelming response was that it was too confusing or difficult to say. Other suggestions were thrown up, but ultimately the simpler title of 'Explanations' just seemed to figure better with everyone and this is what I am working with now.
I brought along the visuals for the wireless and crane explanations I was working on, and people seemed fine with the way this was going. The only issue raised was the way I had proposed to display it, via a horizontal scrollbar based interface. It would seem people just feel better scrolling vertically, so this is something that I am changing and working with.
I also asked the question of whether I should expand the brief into promotional material aswell. The response from Fred was that this really goes without saying - I am proposing this informative and useful website to people, but how are people supposed to see it? This is something I need to spend some time considering.. this is the brief where I really have to push the boat out and get as much out of it as I can, although perhaps saving things like huge prints until the end of year show (when the large printers will start to free up). Regardless I will be proposing things like this as part of the rest of my work.
As for the other briefs, they are essentially finished. There is support work I need to print for each of them, and at least 2 of the briefs will need an extra board to explain certain aspects. But enough talk, I need to put things into action. More soon.
