In the second half of the session we looked at the design boards we have created to present our concepts and idea so far:

These were the boards that i took into the workshop, the feedback that i got back from the group was:

- Keep aligned to the grid

- Use high res images

- Too much information and text

- Condense text into more manageable bite size chunks.

- More specific information

- Make headings stand out more

After the workshop i went away and made changes to my presentation boards to make them better for the crit tomorrow:

These second boards are much better designed than the first, i have thought about the content and information more, only putting the necessary information for the idea of the exhibition, i can talk about the rest. I have kept the text to a minimum, but enhanced all the pages with more images. Keeping to the grid i have created has made all the pages be laid out better and look better as a set.
