Communication is a Virus (Group 1 Feedback)

We gave Group 3 there feedback.  This is a link to Beljeet's design practise blog page. The concept which was to test how visually aware people are or tell a lie convincingly was answered.  Niall gave a convincing performance as a guest speaker to the second year Graphics's students however we commented that they had not really delivered a graphic response to the brief.  Their presentation had engaged us as much with the anticipation of seeing Niall and was some what diluted by the fact they had been unable to capture his performance on video. The photograph in the presentation was difficult to see so whilst we could imagine how good it was, especially with Amber's enthusiasm, we really only had videos of five second years to back this up.  We had difficulty answering the guide questions to the feedback as the group's work had mainly been focused on the character development.  Equally it was difficult giving negative feedback to what had on the surface been a very successful live result.  We considered how they could have answered the brief more fully, given more time.  As the group had developed a website and business cards they could have actually used this more fully in the lie/cover up.   The second year students could have been given time to look at the website and then videoed for their reactions.  (This fulfilling the Graphics response). Another idea was to start spreading a rumour from one second year student (virally, word of mouth) that indeed Niall was a setup.  They could have then monitored/recorded this.
