Project 3 Thoughts on Final Critique

The final critique was very helpful for me, especially in pinning down the major design flaws that I needed to correct for the final version. I was aware of some of these flaws (such as the terrible idea to place all of the title settings on a single, disgraceful spread), but I hadn't yet put thought into how to correct them, and the crit helped get me going on the refinement process. I also enjoyed seeing other classmates' work up to that point and the huge variety of approaches they were taking to showcase their typefaces. I thought it would have been nice to get to see everyone's work, and I felt bad for those who didn't get to have theirs up for the full-class examination, but I understood the need for the final small-group crits during that time as well. That was helpful too, since my small group had seen each other's work every step of the way and was thus reasonably familiar with each member's progress.
