Vislang: Presentation notes/feedback

you spent a lot of time thinking about factors. How are they applied? They all determine how you perceive a message, they all create or discuss noise... but what is your point? There is nothing engaging, there is no connection with your postcard beyond the idea of a discussion.

the last graphic red/yellow was pretty, but it almost gets muddled. why is the white sender hogging the message. The only thing physically shared between the two is the feed back, and seemingly, the noise. The message needs to connect the two.

DMITRI
organic growth:
"define experience" - hi-lighted words makes me think of online (wiki), make me think text, makes me not want to read it, needs more objects to make me interested in continuing. Is there an end in sight? ((LEAST successful and interesting)) The more text there is, especially when it seems endless, makes me fall asleep and stop caring. people shy away from things that are too text heavy. command Q.

casual conversation:
love the idea of hand illustration- very visually interesting
book form for this concept is good, brings in interest, makes me want to follow the conversation- be careful that it doesn't start looking too comic-book (cliche)
has the possibility of continuing on the back, looping back to the start, an endless circuit
-don't introduce too many characters, maybe a max of 3. I want to know more about the characters and what they do and how they interact than how many characters you can draw and cram into a book.

stop motion:
also a good idea, very interesting, could still include lots of humor, less interactive but still very fun- try having physical letters/type on a wall- don't make the text computer generated. Your photo quality will have to be very high. The worse the photos look the less interested I will be in what you have to say. You have a chance to include your personal style with how the people look, how the photos look, etc.


LANCE
Your little book is the most interesting idea
- don't add too much information, keep it simple, get away from the "sharing" idea or make that your key note and main point
-think about making many books- several versions, different characters/messages? (probably about 4-5 would be nice)

the balls are a good way to show the metaphor of progression, but its fairly boring and would get too repetitive

connect the dots is a very interesting idea, could be a flash, click 2, line appears, fact appears- click three, line appears between 2 and 3... etc. That could be very fun and definitely is interactive and entertaining.

or could be a physical, with overlays bringing in the information, something dry-erase style. Bottom page has the numbers, info builds up on itself
bottom page has the numbers, next page (transparency is connected to it, hi-lighted first to points to connect?
