The final crit I felt went pretty well and we handed out a great number of business cards and we managed to get quite a few of our friends interested in submitting work. there were two main suggestions from our presentation. These were the suggestion that we sought out an address for studios to send work to us because they would apparently be interested in doing so. The consensus was that what we were doing was amazingly useful and a suggestion about the orientation of the business cards is probably a sign that we need to rethink them.
Overall I am happy with the way that this project has gone. I enjoy writing and looking at design and getting in contact with people who are passionate about what they do and want to talk about it.
My only concern is that we haven't really designed very much for this project, mostly the work has been creating content and organising things, all great skills and useful in graphic design. The logo is about the only thing we designed. However, the business cards and posters were designed as well but both with the logo as the central point for them. They were also screen-printed.
This is definitely something I want to continue after the project, as I feel this will be really beneficial for me and the group. Even if possible get other students involved because we can't do it alone. I have found that this blog makes me keep up to date with what people are doing and has stimulated me to try hand rendered type projects in my own time.
