Feedback Summary Sheet

Sum up your feedback
I needed to talk more about my target audience. I could have also added detail to my mood board, and more images. Though the story sounded interesting, and I showed that I have a good idea of how to make my product. I also included a mood board which showed my influences and shows the style I want to use.
What do you agree with in your feedback and why?
I agree that I needed to add more detail to my proposal, especially to my audience profile. I also agree that I should have added more detail to my mind maps also, and could have used more images on those. I also agree that I showed I had a good idea of how I would create my graphic novel.
What do you not agree with in your feedback and why?
I disagree that my mood board wasn’t detailed enough as I though I added everything on that I needed to.

Feedback Sheet 3

What are the strengths of the proposal?
The strengths of the proposal is that she has thought about the timeframe we have to create the products by only choosing to do a specific part of the story. She is also using two different ways to create the novel which highlights some of her skills
What are the weaknesses of the proposal?
When asked about the target audience, there was no explanation as to why that age was chosen.
What are the strengths of the generation of ideas?
The mind maps are really good, especially the first one as it contains a mood board as well which gives of a range of ideas. Making two separate mind maps is a good idea as it not only gives ideas about graphic novels but shows off detail of the story she has chosen to use.
What are the weaknesses of the generation of ideas?
The mood board at the end isn’t very detailed, it only gives very basic detail of the things she plans to use or inspire her story on.

Feedback Sheet 2

What are the strengths of the proposal?
You have a clear idea in terms of story although this could be more developed at this stage. You also have an idea about how you will go about making the product. Story seems interesting and different from most others I have seen.
What are the weaknesses of the proposal?
Audience information is very thin. I think you could define this a lot more tightly. Think about age range, gender and even class. What else might your audience like? Overall the proposal is a bit brief.
What are the strengths of the generation of ideas?
Two detailed mind maps and some indication of the style in which you want to make the product. Each idea you have here is quite developed. Use of images on first mind map is a nice touch.
What are the weaknesses of the generation of ideas?
There are not a lot of different ideas which is a shame. Considering loads of option early on will give you a better chance of coming up with a great idea. You could have had a greater range of source images as well.

Feedback Sheet 1

What are the strengths of the proposal?
The proposal is good as it makes it clear what it is you plan to do and allows me to understand the story and how you plan to create the graphic elements of it. I think the story sounds interesting as does the ways in which you have decided to create it using the illustration and collages.
What are the weaknesses of the proposal?
I think that a little more detail could’ve been included in the proposal. Things like the audience profile could’ve been more specific and in detail.
What are the strengths of the generation of ideas?
The existing products mind map shows images and themes that have given you inspiration and make it easy to see where you have used influences from them to shape your own work.
The Kate Crackernuts mind map is very good and shows how you have planned the story page by page explaining what you will show on each one from the text to graphical elements of them.
The last slide shows the style of images, text and speech bubbles you wish to use. The hand drawn style looks very good I think and you can see all the elements you wish to use in the last slide from font to colour schemes.
What are the weaknesses of the generation of ideas?
A few more images could have been used in the mood board to show what sort of images you wish to draw inspiration from.
