To gather feedback from our summer briefs we had a crit made up of about 12, this was enough to collect a sufficient and helpful amount of feedback on our work.
With my set of letters the thing that people liked most were the illustrations, such as 'B', 'C', 'H', 'K' and a few others. This was great as this is my favourite way to work, and I feel my strongest point in Graphic Design as a whole. Another thing that got pointed out as a positive is the transparency of the letters along with the choice of Bebas Neue typeface. I didn't want the letters to take anything away from the images I had gathered or created so by making them opaque with a rather simple typeface, it was clear to see what letter is being represented but also it's not too overpowering.
Another piece of feedback I received was that for 'Z' I could have reversed the colours to make it more visible as it printed very dark. I agree with this as it would make it easier to read and to know it was for 'Z' but I feel if it was the only one with a white letter it would stand out and not look part of the set at all.
Overall, I was pleased with people's thought and opinions on my work as leading up to the crit I had no idea what other people had done or how they had perceived the brief, but after seeing that everyone was as unsure as I was and how people had taken it in their own directions I was comfortable with my work on a whole.
