Brief 4 - Speaking From Experience: Brief (Rewritten)

I've decided to venture down the route of crits because it was something that I personally struggled with and I know a lot of others did as well. I decided not to do budgeting because I did research into both and there seems to be quite a bit online about how to budget and not much about crits especially for students. I feel that if I knew more about them then I would have been less scared when it came to taking part in them.

Brief

When students first join a Graphic Design degree course, a large amount of them are unaware and cautious of the idea of a Critique. Crits are of great use as they allow students to get feedback on their work and in turn develop their project however most students do not take full advantage of this. Produce a graphic response either physical or digital which would help to ease first year Graphic Design students into the idea of a crit.

Work with any appropriate media or format and develop and identify the content will be entertaining, advisory or informative.

Background Considerations

What/ why do they need to know?

Will it be a; collection of, a presentation of or instructions to.

What is the tone of voice? It must be appropriate to your subject, audience and method of delivery. It could be serious or tongue in cheek however it must be appropriate for your target audience of first year graphic design students.
