This week we were able to receive critique from professionals all throughout San Diego. Overall it was a very enriching experience and it was nice to have a fresh pair of eyes. My group decided to focus on our t-shirt design because we were a bit stuck on how to continue. Our first pair was with Ms. Nuvia which was extremely helpful. Our original design was a stencil of a profile shot made out of a ticking time bomb meant to depict that adolescents are often seen as crazy and ready to explode. Immediately we were told that this could be viewed as stigmatizing, it was something we hadn’t really taken into consideration so I’m glad we addressed that. Since our topic is emotions on the brain her next piece of critique was to mix my t-shirt design (can be viewed on my last post) and combine the emoticons with our current profile stencil and completely remove the time bomb. To the upper left I included an image that is featured in our little book. It shows the left and right side of the brain sort of bursting with what pertains to them. Based off of that image Ms. Nuvia had the idea of making the emoticons look like theyŕe coming out of the head. Our second professional was Sandra from the UCSD C.A.R.E facility. She helped a lot with our activity that will be done during the NAMI walk and how we can find a way to simplify it since during exhibition it took a long time. Something that really stuck with me was when she said, ¨You want people to leave feeling empowered and having left knowing a bit more than before.” It was extremely motivating and I know during exhibition it will encourage me to step out of my comfort zone. All in all I am very grateful for everyone who took the time out of their day to come here and help us in the critique process. My wondering this week is based on the image above and if it is an accurate depiction of the brain. Do the left and right side correspond to completely different things or is this an exaggeration?
