Feedback on the Brief

 Your comment: Somewhat, my poster includes two and a half articles of the five that I had to include
Feedback on colours:

  • Has the design used a consistent colour scheme?
  • Is there a relationship between the colours in the image and the colour of the graphic design?
  • Do the colours seem typical of the genre?
 Your comment: My poster has used a consistent colour scheme of black and orange.There is no correlation of the colours in the image and the graphic design. The colours of the genre are not as refined as the ones I have chosen, the genre is more colourful and contrasting rather than consistent.
Feedback on typeface:

  • Is all the text legible?
  • Is the typeface well chosen and does it suit the apparent genre?
  • How many typefaces are used in the design?
 Your comment: The text is very legible. The typeface is also very defined and smart, I don’t believe this is representative of the genre. One typeface is used in the font.
Feedback on integration of image and graphics

  • Does the text wrap around the image well?
  • Does the eyeline of the model focus attention?
 Your comment: The background image is ugly in my opinion and I would have changed it is I knew how, the text is in conflict with it and it looks tacky. The eyeline of the model focuses attention on the sponsor message not the title of the tour or artist.
Feedback on image

  • Does the costume reflect a particular genre?
  • Is the body language of the model appropriate?
 Your comment: The costume is very representative of the genre. I believe that it is though I cannot describe as to why it is, it simply seems to fit.
Feedback on copy

  • Do the words on the page prompt a sense of desire?
  • Is there a clear call and a route to action? (AIDA)
 Your comment: The words on the page don’t really prompt a sense of desire, it looks like a ten year old designed it. What is that?
Feedback on connotations

  • What messages and ideas are being communicated in the text?
  • Do those messages and ideas seem appropriate to the genre and purpose of the text?
 Your comment: The messages and ideas being communicated in the text are not there I simply don’t see a hidden meaning in them because I did not write them to have one. Well I included a few countries that have legalised the use of marijuana which is conventional of psychedelic rock, such as Kanada and Amsterdam.
