Formative Presentation

Peer Review:

Emma.

Emma had an effective and interesting idea that genuinely aided her client's homely ritual, however, I feel that there was a missing element in her design that could have bridged the busy vs. not busy ratio. Perhaps the qualities of the materials she used could have been explored in more depth to add volume. I really liked the idea of the hammock but it suggests that the viewer, reclining in the hammock could have some ceiling ornament as this is where he/she would be looking.

Emma S

Emma presented her ideas verbally in a very logical and clear way that was easy to follow. Her innovative idea for hide-away furniture to suit her client's minimalist taste really impressed me, however, I thought that this idea of minimalism could have been explored deeper and taken further.

Saphera

Saphera's technical ability in her paintings were admirable and effectively demonstrated the ideas of her design. Also effective was her video, however I couldn't help wondering what these hanging objects would look like in an irregular order. The room she created was dark and in some ways scary which led me to think that adding mirrors could heighten this to make it even more effective.

Kayla

Kayla's work was clearly well thought out, although it was hard to follow her presentation because I couldn't hear her. The work was cohesive, busy and kinetic and her slides effectively displayed her design. The connections between her homely ritual and final were clear.
