Feedback
Labelling and dating was present to a degree with minor discrepancies. Presentation of artwork was adequate, in that the artworks were clean and concise. The application of the idea was good and clear. It displayed good technical skill and imagination. However the size of the logo and name were too small in the mobile add and the placement of the packaging remains an issue layout wise. The visual work was aesthetically good, interesting even.
Reflection
Although, I had a rough start in coming up with the ad campaign. My first two ideas, although in sketch form, it seemed good and workable, after trying it out, I didn't feel it, it didn't show thinness, so it was scratched and I had only a few days to come up with a new one. Thankfully, I did, after looking for inspirations and references of words in my mind map such as thin, transparent and etc. Just like Mr.Vinod said, the answer is always right in front of you, you just need to look at the right places. However, I still have trouble in finding the best layout for the placement of the packaging. Although, there are better ways to arrange, I still liked how my was laid out. Maybe in the future, I'll see this new way of placing the package in an ad, but for now, I'm happy with what I've made. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and I wished we had more time to learn new things from Mr.Vinod.
