OUGD505 Board Workshop

What shouldn't go on Design Boards

-Initial Sketches- Not relevant. Just want to see the end product
-1st person
-Spelling mistakes-Typos
-Food stains/ watermarks
-If printer hasn't printed well, then re-print it
-Got to have good image quality-Print res
-Text needs to be legible
-Too much text. T.L.D.R (Too long didnt read)
-Go back and check, to take text out. Visuals not loads of text. Visually communicate
-Have some text, its not a scrapbook. What stock? what processes? typeface? Colour- Pantone? How is it bound? Dimensions ? Size? Balance the text with the images
-Just as important to think about content on the board as the actual product.

Things that should have on a board

-Name
-Number the boards
-Title
-Final work. Your final work. End product
-Decent quality-Photos correct so you dont have to play in Photoshop- Decent Photographs
-Consistency throughout
-Branding your boards
-Research good design boards
-Depending on your project will depend on the content
-No more then 5 or 6 boards
-Always get feedback on your boards. Check them get others to check them. This is just as important as your final product.


Feedback on Research Boards

-Keep a consistent layout throughout the set- It will look much better together
-Text alignment is inconsistent with the rest of the boards
-Needs a name and board number
-Has a grid been used?


-Image quality low
-TLDR
-Maybe too much info on this page
-Needs a name and number
-Alignment is too close to the edge

-Too much type on this page
-Layout is a little inconsistent
-Needs breaking up
-Is the web address necessary
-Image quality 

 -Keep spacing and layout consistent
-Images too close to the edge of the page
-Image quality

-Think about spacing and keeping it consistent
-Good balance between images and text
-Inconsistent titles and alignment

 Is the reference relevant ?
-Last 2 boards have a good consistent layout, make sure the rest of the boards are as well.

Final Board Feedback


-Speaking in 1st person
-What is your concept-In context audience, colour, type, stock?

 -Needs a heading and title
-A little text needed for the reasoning of showing the images
-Heading/ TItle
- No text

-Heading/Title
-No Text

Title, text, name/number


Missing title, name, board number and text to explain on all pages
Maybe better quality images
Probably missing explanations, concept, distribution, context, audience, colour, type, stock?



 Title, namer board numbers-All pages
what is the concept
Probably missing a couple of boards showing development and research audience, colours, type?
Would present better if mocked up on screens.
