We started todays lesson by walking around the room and seeing what others have done over the weekend. It was interesting to see what the other groups have done for the Beach cleanup and Neighbours day. I quite like seeing the different mood boards that was being presented. I found that some groups actually went out to collect some raw materials, which my partner and I can consider. We might go out to a cafe that supplies Fair-Trade coffee such as Havana and do some interview and coffee testing.
We also had a session where we shared our ideas and posters with the people on our table to get some feedback. It was also useful to see if they could unpack the intended idea in our poster. After having a chat with our peers and one on one chat with the tutors, we found that a lot of our ideas needed refining. It seem that we were too focused on the political issue of Fair-Trade. Our posters were not visually appealing in terms of attracting the customer to the event. We were given feedback to try and make our idea more positive. During the rest of the lesson we started researching some new graphic style that we can do to make our poster more inviting. We figured that using an illustrative style or mix media (ink pen and watercolour) may work with our idea as it appears more friendly, and as one of the tutor said "cute". We also drew up some new thumbnails that looks at our idea in a positive perspective. This lesson helped our project as we were directed back to right path after being lost in the negative aspect of our idea.
