My questions were:
1. Is the media that I have used relevant? Why?
2. Which song do you think has been interpreted? Why?
3. Which design is your favourite? Why?
4. Do you think my font choice is relevant in the typographic peice? If no which typeface would you use + why?
5. Which design portrays the strongest message? Again why?
6. Do you prefer the more detailed vectors or the simpler ones?
Most people said that the media was very relevant because it relates to the song "Digital Witness" so it is suitable that all my designs are digital. However some people thought that I could consider other ideas and even try using a traditional media like screen printing for the less digital designs. For example on the robot/St. Vincent design it was suggested to try screen printing for the human side and juxtapose it against the illustrator robot side. I quite like this idea so if I want to submit it to the secret 7 I may take it further.
Almost everyone guessed which song it was because I had used images of her as well as technological feel to my designs and the use of lyrics. Someone said that maybe the links to the songs were too direct in some of the songs and not subtle enough.
Favourite Tally:
1 = 1
2 = 2
3 = 2
4 = 1
5 = 1
6 = 0
7 = 2
8 = 1
9 = 1
10 = 0
11 = 3
12 = 0
13 = 2
14 = 0
The most favourited was number 11 - the CCTV camera with the Yellow background as people said that it had a gentle and delicate aesthetic with the use of thin lines and a warm welcoming background yet it represented something quite sinister. Another person said that it was the best because it had a subtle link to the song and some of my other designs may have been seen as too obvious.
For the font choice most agreed as they said it was geometric and slightly futuristic, but if I had shown them other font choices for comparison it would have been easier to decide. I was worrying that this choice was too bold, but after getting this feedback I think I will keep it how it is.
Pretty much all the people who answered the questions said that number 7 had the strongest message (the boy with the TV).
The detail vs simple vectors answers were very mixed in opinions. Some people liked the cctv outlined images however other preferred my other designs. I think I will submit two designs because of this as I thought this would help me decide what design to submit but it hasn't!
