Poster Presentation Critique

We had to design a poster stating the research we had completed so far for the project. I thought for some reason this had to be quite wordy to be able to get my point through as to what it was I had been researching so this is what I came up with:

It became apparent that this was way too busy and didn't really show the qualities of a 'good poster'. So the day before our critique, I literally started the poster from scratch and used the old poster for reference as to what I would say during the presentation.

So, here's a poster that I did for the presentation which seemed more fitting for the theme I was going for, still include some of the research material I had gathered but more in a visual way rather than text text text:

Feedback for my presentation:

1) Need to test designs on children- more interaction with target audience.

2) Well thought out project, well-rounded. Just need to test things out.

Researching Target Audience

So begins the research of my target audience for this project. I never thought I'd be researching about children and parents; I must say it was little bit weird at first but then I realised that everything was applicable and useful if I wanted to make a product to best suit the toddlers I'll be teaching the alphabet to.

After much research over the internet about the type of children I would have to deal with I knew that I had to actually start getting in contact with teachers and interact with children. So I had an interview with a teacher about how she teaches the children the alphabet etc. When I get to the stage of designing the cards I will then go to schools and ask the children their opinion as to which design is the most appealing.
