Cell Phone symphony initial ideas - Group critt

Given Feed back... 

- Boundaries of typography could be developed/ broken
- Stick with the poster that gives off the biggest connection to technology  and social interaction which seems to be either the text message poster or the poster with the digitally dotted grid system.
- Dotted grid sytem alone has a really strong impact behind it. It is also straining to the eyes similar to a phone screen. 
- Least favourite poster is the hand written typography poster on the coloured card due to it not really connecting to the performance. 
- Experiment further with layout 
- Experiment further with different colours and paper stocks/ textures
- Be careful your use of typography does not take away from the images used within your designs.
- Try to break the boundaries/ conventions of a typical poster design


Overall, after the group critt it was decided that the poster with the most potential was going to be developed further. The chosen poster design for this was the design which incorporated the dotted grid system. This was because this design had an interesting concept behind it as it was formulated from a set rule, which related to 11 digit phone numbers. As the dots are of all different sizes they also clearly represents the different phones used within the performance. In addition, the different brightnesses of the dots symbolises the different phones lighting up at different times once being dialled. For this reason this graphical image has a connection with the auditory experience of the performance. Socially this poster design is engaging due to the graphical image being straining to the eyes but eye catching. However, in relation to peers comments during the development process the typography is going to be simplified so the focus is not taken away from the graphical, triggering image.
