YCN; Final crit.

At this crit we had to lay out all the work we had so far for the brief and go around the table in three partners writing feedback for each collaborative group. The work we left was the three intial concept board ideas so we could get a little bit of feedback. Before we began the crit we had to come up with five questions we wanted feedback on in particular. A lot of our questions revolved around the exhibition proposal as this was the one thing holding our brief together in terms of concept. We wanted to make sure we were doing everything possible to make this a really good idea. We also had concerns about the legality of using the floorplans so wanted to know if this was ok. Once we'd given feedback to the other two partnerships we were given the opportunity to present our ideas and ask any questions about the feedback. All of our questions were answered on the sheets and were extended when we sat down to discuss feedback. As with the last crit a lot of the feedback was really positive but some of the suggestions for us to take the work further were very much welcomed as they were good ideas we could really work with. The one comment we really had to consider was the fact that instead of having other peoples work on our boards we should utilise this space and make sure each board contains our own work, fedrigoni will want to see as many ideas as possible in order to understand our concept. It was reccommended that at least one board contains a detailed description of exactly what our exhibition entails because when we presented and spoke about our ideas we communicated this really well and everyone really liked the ideas, but when they looked at the boards it didn't seem to communicate. 

After the crit we knew exactly what we had to do to make our concept even better. We had a better idea of things we would propose and things we would actually mock up and knew that once this was done we had to focus on creating our boards so that they represented our idea as clearly as possible with a lot of visuals. We used the action plans on the back of the sheets so we could manage our workload and work out what we had to do in the week or so we have left. This has been the most useful crit overall because it has really clarified our ideas and the feedback we were given was really useful and very well considered.
