Brief two interim crit

I went into today’s crit with a pretty clear idea of what my strongest idea was. I think this sort of bias arises when I’ve put more sustained effort into an idea making it more rounded and polished.  The general reception for both of my veins of thought was very good with people enjoying the short .mov animation. There was agreement that the anamorphic typography was worth pursuing. However people also liked the other theme, of reliance due to its 3D nature and possibly more contextual basis. It was suggested that I attempt to amalgamate the two fairly disparate ideas, which I think would be possible to an extent. However it would be a bit harder if I attempt to continue with the 3D element in its current duration due to the end product having to work mainly in 2D.

I will look into simplifying the diagonal forms and possibly incorporating radial, horizontal and vertical lines to further the potential for abstraction when shapes overlap. I will also research line moire as was suggested by a peer and brush up on my after effect literacy.

Most peers were designing logotypes or Rana Begum the curator so their styles were far more abstract than mine. I feel it is appropriate for my logotype to be more ruthlessly geometric so convey the theme of the exhibition. The need for the final product to spell out the full Occasional Geometries title and not just OG was raised which is something I must also take on board.
