TUTORIAL 061125
Latest iteration presented, 2 options.
Draft slide presentation presented
Triangulating 3 final writing, typesetting presented
– Tutor: Latest iteration makes so much more sense, connects with the target audience, feels exciting for adults but also for kids. Enjoy games, perfect piece to have at an airport and take with them, or be placed on a bookshelf and just found. Skyline works well.
– Add yellow cover to more colorful iteration over red biased iteration. Covers remain unresolved, but ok for now.
– Inside cover – yes to the inscription, but add guilloche and make it bigger.
– Specificity discussed – could I go further into the everyday side of things, what we eat, where we go, rather than being quite wide as a lens. Something to ponder.
– Cut the video of Horrible Histories, but it does show how Kidd are spoken to.
– Much more focus in the printed outcome.
PRESENTATION SLIDES
– More focus needed? Slightly concerned about time, currently over 8 minutes. Tutor doesn’t find it too much.
– Slide 18, quote page – use what is highlighted only, instead of the whole text.
– Lose slide 8, bit weird how its written. My findings are less about MY inherent bias, more about discovery and kids context.
– Slide 7 – too long, condense that too
– Slides 11 and 12 (Issuu and permissions), important to have to don’t remove, but move them to after passport and glossary, review later!
– Tutor likes idea the idea of glossary at the beginning.
– KESHAVARZ reference – jump into this, or is it needed? KEEP IT. But I would just say a few lines about it, drop it I with other references, after slide 9 (badges). The references should sit together
– Sam – the ExhibItionist feels like a speed hump. TuTor – condense and highlight, the symposium should be more about
– One with kids, but difficult to understand, lose it, BUT mention kids view on slide 19 (curriculum). Beginning and end ok with kids.
– Last slide, projections – important so resolve this, BETTER ORGANISED. Maybe some some photography. Focus the projection TEST and KIDS BOOK SERIES, how would they sit on a shelf? Go into Hunting Raven (local bookshop)? More like independent zine publishing
– WRITING SAMPLE – great, but do a gradual mix of the two faces over the document and find a better bio of typeface origins. Add a set of figures/images for Appendices.
EXTRA NOTES:
– FINAL SUMMATIVE SLIDES SUBMISSION – flat pdf with notes, but also a video with audio alongside for review.
– Make a script of it so you don’t gave to read off the slides!
– Bring a USB backup
– If there is something to read, let the audience read it and signpost them to it.
– More studio work, less about the words
