To start we spoke through what research we had found and what we had put on our boards, we then were given feedback on some ideas of what we could do.
My boards
Feedback i was given:
- Publication on the history of the bike
- Why they did the big wheel bike?
- Publication that folds like the folding bike
As a group to start we were asked what we thought should not go on design boards.
Do nots
- To get rid of first person, the people who will be marking/viewing our work dont care what 'i' have been doing, they want to see finished work.
- Spelling mistakes, check for spelling mistakes
- Food stains, re print boards that have had a faulty print on them or marks from the printer
- Poor image quality, make sure the images are off a high quality
- Too much text (TLDR-Too Long Dont Read) if the text is too long the marker wont read it.
- Too little text, the images on the page have to have some context
- Details, add details to the page, the typeface used, how the publication is bound, the pantone colour, publication size ect
Things to add to a board
- Name on boards
- Board numbers (3 of 5), (3/5)
- Titles, what part of the work is it
- Show my own work, there should be more of my work than of others, markers are interested in looking at my work rather than others
- Good quality photos
- Consistent layout across all the boards
- Final images of the work
After hearing all of this i realised that most of my boards had these exact faults on them.
Next we then passed our boards to the person next to us so they could go through them and pick out the faults just talked about.
Below are all my boards and the feedback that was put on them.

What i found out about during this session is that design boards are essential and provide a perfect opportunity to get the design that has been made across to the audience, they should get straight to the point and proivde detailed information of the design without being to overwhelming with information. They also give me a opportunity to propose different things in a visual and interesting way. Another thing i discovered during the session was the layout of the page is just as important as any other piece of design i was doing and whoever is marking my work will be able to see the smallest of problems or spelling mistakes which will have an impact on how my work is viewed.
