Final Evaluation - Objects

Overall the posters (figures 1-3) and handouts (figures 4-5) have been successful in celebrating the 138th anniversary of the light bulb through the use of 138 Ls within each drawing which effectively reference the exhibition celebrating this anniversary. These designs are highlighted by the use of A2 paper instead of A3 within the posters which provides a greater area of negative space allowing the design to stand out more effectively. Additionally the wide range of research into the light bulb through exploration using different materials and methods such as word and excel has aided the design processes to produce successful and unexpected responses. Furthermore the analysis of other peers work has also helped the design processes as I’ve effectively realised how to adapt this research into the designs as seen through the incorporation of facts within the handouts. Consequently this analysis in conjunction with feedback has also allowed for the realisation of an overall aesthetic within the posters particularly through the suggestion of cutting out the information as well as the design itself. In relation to the handouts these have worked successfully despite complications surround the initial idea to emboss the design as the resulting decision to redesign the handouts so the image would be cut out creates a more consistent aesthetic across both platforms tying both aspects together more effectively than if the design was embossed. However despite the strengths within these outcomes there is a large amount of burn on the back of the handouts which takes away from overall simple and clean cut aesthetic created within the posters and the front of the handouts. However this was unavoidable as the increased amount of burn was created at the result to using wood to help align the images with the text so the design didn't cut through the text on the back. Additionally photographing the posters themselves also presented problems trying to effectively shine light through the wholes whilst displaying the poster which could be corrected by making the L's within the drawings bigger so more light could be let through. Overall the poster and handouts are successful mainly due to the incorporation of light within the designs creating an engaging and interactive aspect for the audience.
