VOGUE!

Vogue self written brief for don't panic online poster competition
"Final crit" With Gemma, Jo, Chris, Brian and Ross, of the proposed 3 posters (design practice blog)

• What concept/statement/fact/ tone is being communicated?
  Looking at control in fashion industry and the health side.
  Control/ fake/ shallow/ French.
  Good, visually interesting to think about.
  Fashion controls everybody. Good statement.
  Social comment, French, fashion industry as puppets.
  
• Is this being communicated effectively?
  Control - communicated through the puppet element. Health - the skeleton.
  Yes, hard hitting.
  Yes an interesting but well thought out meaning.
  Very well. The image is strong and gives a message.
  Yes, image and type work well together.
  
• Has the posters answered the brief?
  Yes, definitely. The image itself could work as a poster on it's own.
  Yes. Express Vogue as negative imagery.
  Gives a good message and view about Vogue. Specifically targeting the fashion market.
  
• Who is the audience - have they been addressed?
  Students - maybe more females - illustrate to them it's not all it' cracked up to be.
  Anyone - but image is quite specifically feminine to encourage people not to conform.
  Female? Anyone into fashion.
  Youth culture / society / females.
  
• Strengths?
  You've kept the elegant theme - ornate decoration on mirror, which seems quite sinister - in a good way! As I don't think the negative of the fashion industry is ever portrayed as horrible as it is. This works great without the usual photographs of bones.
  Really effective image - visibly understandable.
  Good to look at a hidden meaning.
  Strong message, illustration in centre piece.
  Extremely strong visual idea.
  
• What could be developed further?
  Moving the text onto the mirror edge? - maybe etched?
  Different poses? Colours? Fonts?
  Maybe add text into the frame?
  Possible use of colour. Type / text variations.
  
• Further feedback...
  Think they all look really well, the visual and message is strong and communicated effectively.
