Week 3- Session 1

Interim and Critique

We discussed our ideas in groups. It helped to see all the different view points of each person at the table. We discussed which concept worked better, visual style and text and type which worked best. We decided that the illustrated style that Hayley used was more convincing for a beach poster and also the concept of a seagull drinking coke at a beach. The concept of the birds copying the humans and that causing the beach to be full of trash. Also, suggesting that, that is what we look like to them at the beach and the fact that we aren't caring enough. This Critique overall, did help advance the project further as it helped to pick a better visual style, concept and we were able to see that maybe the text and type needed a lot more work to push the concept of the poster further.

Refining Ideas and Thinking about Trans-media

For the second half of the lesson we thought about the different media we are required to use for the project and what sort of ideas we could do. I also looked at some font types and also was thinking into a rhetorical saying that could be put on the poster to add more context to the image and making it more clear of it being a beach clean up poster. The clear meaning to the poster would advance our project further.

So far, we were thinking of maybe an image or gif for the website and also for the extra thing, maybe a bag for people to use during the event to pick up trash. We listed the different things we could do, which helped to have a broad view on what we will possibly achieve in the next few weeks of the project.
