Crit Time!

Today we had another crit where we discussed our latest idea. After looking at the die cut beer mats from Airside studio as I've previously posted we came up with the idea of die cut jigsaws but using the jigsaw idea as something more like a visual metaphor. We decided to look at O2 as the missing piece of the puzzle.

We drew up some sketches of how the device would work and showed these in the crit. Everyone liked our latest idea but felt the sketches were not enough and so we spent the rest of the day creating some test pieces. Emma decided to make the umbrella and I made the pen. We just used some greyboard and blue printouts to show the blue representative of O2. This is what they looked like:

We were quite pleased with how these turned out and felt they were strong enough to move forward with this as our final idea. It is now just a matter of refining the illustrations and finding some better stock.
