It's a bit difficult to pick one to develop for the final because every person I've asked has given me different opinions, except for my "peer to peer assessment group" who seemed to like the tube one better, but then again one liked the gas mask one best... I'll sum up people's opinions below each, even if you don't care, it might help me make up my mind.
Still confused about whether or not we're meant to include text in?
Quite a few people liked this one best, apparently it's quite eye-catching and works well from a distance, I'd probably do the text more like in the escalator one though or could even do without it. One person said she couldn't quite figure out why the girl was scared though, that it wasn't clear that everyone was coughing and sneezing in the tube- well I will have to make it a lot clearer and neater if I do it for the final, my concern is that it's a bit complicated though so it might not be so easy to make it all that clear.
Two people liked this one best, they liked how you can't see where the sneeze is coming from- getting the whole paranoia idea through, and how the text merges with the table outlines. One person said I should put the "ATCHOO" in some sort of speech bubble because it wasn't clear if she was thinking it or hearing it or sneezing herself. Aside from this three though people didn't really comment on this one, I think that the reason why a lot of people were attracted to the tube and escalator ones is because of the shadowy faces, so I might try to re-do this one and the cat one with shadowy/scared faces, because I think they're a bit more subtle and the composition work well, especially the cat one.
The feedback was mainly that the guy doesn't look scared enough, and the cat should maybe be a bit more centred? (not sure about that though), and that the message wasn't as clear/hard hitting as in the tube or gas mask one.. That point is the one that worries me with this one, I personally thought it was pretty clear, but maybe it's because I've been looking at a lot of political drawings/cartoons on the subject where there is a cow, a chicken and a pig all ganged up and suggesting what next (in one of them there's an elephant, maybe I should post a couple on here)... So I don't know now, I guess I could try it again with a shadowy face?Or not, no I think it's actually my favourite but wouldn't work in the poster context, I'm pretty sure it would for a newspaper article though.
A few people liked this one best, really straight forward humour I guess, and clearly showing an over-the-top attitude with this flu thing, but I guess even though the mask symbol is one of the most effective, people instantly recognize it, it's kind of too easy... not original enough... Well maybe I'm just making things more complicated, but the more I look at it the more I find it boring.
This one came just after the tube one I think for a lot of people, one person's favorite. It was originally the one I liked least (now I think it's the mask one), and one other person felt the same way, couldn't really explain why either though, too simple? It's just too plainly getting back at the NHS ad, kinda cheap now that I think about it.Sooo I don't know... Guess I'll try shadowy versions of the cat one and classroom one, people really like the shadowy faces, if I'm not convinced by either then I'll try the tube one, but I don't know if I'll be able to make it work in a neater version...
