JR/SR critique

Since both studios are working on this project this is an opportunity to gain new perspectives and engage in cross-studio interaction you don't typically get.

directions:
Contact your group member to arrange a crit (group assignments via email). After the meeting post a brief summation/synthesis of the feedback you received to your blogs.

Complete this task within 1 weeks period for participation eval. Consider and implement necessary changes prior to final crit (& prior to submission to the AIGA exhibit).

These questions are provided to help facilitate the discussion:
• Ask them to identify the tropes employed (& prior to you telling them what your intentions were).

• What graphic devices and/or text successfully supports the reading of the trope (e.g. it is obvious as a hyperbole)? What ones confuse/alter the trope (e.g. can't tell if it is a pun or not)?

• Is the message specific to the demographic? What specific visuals and/or text assist this? What ones confuse/distract? Is your message sensitive? Is it resonating?

• Is the message a clear call to action to vote? What's assisting this? What's hindering?

• Is your formal/stylistic approach appropriate to content and audience? How so?

• Describe the relationship of text to image. Does one reinforce the other? Negate it? Contain a separate message? or something else?

• Is the main copy engaging (an attention getter)? Is the secondary copy clarifying (the call to action, vs. a "so what")?
