OUGD603. Extended Practice. Progress Crit.

on the 27th of october we had an informal progress crit in groups with our peers. we were allowed to talk about any or multiple of the briefs we were embarking on for extended practice. 

i decided to talk about the calligraphy publication brief as it was something i had been exploring the the previous few days. i explained the brief and my progression so far, along with my projections, and asked for their feedback.

- involve the different pens/tools used in the different practices - could include some sort of key or ledger to explain the different tools. 

- include a historical aspect to each section.

- make the publication personalised to the user - include name and info space, little tasks for the user to complete etc.

- include tear outs so that the user can practice on the move - could tie in with daily challenges or something.

- explore/research how to appropriately deconstruct the letterforms and calligraphic sequences so the user fully understands the process.

- use isometric grids.

- research the teaching/stroke method for each practice so that the user can learn in the most appropriate and best associated way.

- look at school hand writing books to see how writing is tough - good basis.

- include tracing paper sheets for each section so that the user can make multiple attempts on each one.

this was all really useful information and helped me to consider what form the publication might take.
