present
  • Separate the work from the designer. You can hate / love the presenter and still give quality Constructive Criticism.
  • Give actionable Constructive Criticism. Specific and direct.
    • Example of good Constructive Criticism: “The camera animations are too quick and appear amateurish. You can’t really follow what is going on in the scene.”
    • Example of bad Constructive Criticism: “I don’t really like it. Kinda confusing. Fix it Fix it Fix it Fix it Fix it…”
  • Remember that your words are going in a public document that all will be able to see. Treat everyone fairly, and equally.
  • You must be logged in to your EWSD account.

When everyone has presented we will use the remainder of the day today (not likely), as well as the morning session Wednesday to begin working on our 2nd Drafts. Take the Constructive Criticism into account and refine your work.

The final “The Challenge” animation will be 85% of your midterm.

1:25 Pin Draft Presentations

  • Separate the work from the designer. You can hate / love the presenter and still give quality Constructive Criticism.
  • Give actionable Constructive Criticism. Specific and direct.
    • Example of good Constructive Criticism: “The text on the dates is far too small to be legible. Consider increasing the font size, or change the colors so there is greater contrast.”
    • Example of bad Constructive Criticism: “I don’t really like it. Kinda basic. Rework it so that it is better.”
  • Remember that your words are going in a public document that all will be able to see. Treat everyone fairly, and equally.
  • You must be logged in to your EWSD account.

I will go first so we can get some practice in the process. Click here for the Constructive Criticism Document.

When we have completed today’s presentations, we will get into processing the data on your own and revising to create draft #2.

We will have the afternoons this week (M-T-W-TH) to build draft #2.
