Practical Peer Review 2

Peer Review - COP Practical

• I've got a few constructive feedback from my peers about the character design for the stickers. Visually, some say that the simpler and blocks of shapes are more effective. Another suggested to look into more digital work and GIFs. I would look into moving these characters as most of the designs involve body movement/language. The playful and witty ones seems to work best. People also pointed the ones that are most 'relatable' to them to be very likeable. 

• A question from the feedback that I'd keep in mind are: "how to make pictures express hard/long things to say?" and "what is the theme of your stickers?"

• Initially, I had thought of doing a less figurative approach to creating these stickers. I was quite struggling with that idea and a few other people recommended that they preferred using these stickers that are relatable and to easily convey difficult feelings. As suggested by my peers, I need to narrow down and have a more focused idea. Or a 'root' to tie everything in since the approaches I've taken is still quite broad. Practical-wise, I need to focus on a specific feeling and continue to work from there. N e e d   t o   b e   m o r e    f o c u s e d.

A formalized interview/conversation of people's
opinions towards stickers

• I've got some helpful advice from my peers and several suggestions or things that I could be looking into such as emoji's or stickers that have not been created. Also certain areas such as the more 'sinister side' of stickers rather than just smiley faces. It was also mentioned that I should think more about what I am trying to stay with these stickers and look at the trends or politics of it. People also suggested looking into representation within emojis, sexuality and etc. Most of the suggestions had been about narrowing down and focusing on certain areas. 

• There were several questions that I have taken into account: 
• How do you intend to push your research further? 
• Experiment with more media? GIFs and animation? 
• Where do you see your stickers living? 
• How will you depict the characters? Humans, animals etc?

• I feel like it is worth as well looking into where this all sits in the contemporary culture. I have considered trying to animate my stickers, seeing if it would be more effective to communicate body language or movement in comparison to still ones. I would also need to focus on a specific concept that I could explore even further or a certain 'character' where it expresses a variety of emotions and activities. I have yet to explore with different media or methods because I need an area to focus. But I am looking into specifically complex emotions or phrases from my own language and actually see if imagery (stickers) would effectively communicate these meaning/idea across.
