Firstly, we had to re- size all of our images to fit within our InDesign document. This took some time.
Secondly, because we had used locked images from the internet, we were unable to export the file as a PDF to submit. For a long time we were trying to work out what exactly the problem was. We messed around with exporting as a Jpeg and print screening the pages, but nothing was working. After some time we realised it was these images. To combat this we print screened said images and wrote on the additional copyright section that the images were taken from the internet. After we sorted this out the file exported with no problem.
Overall, I am generally happy with the consistency of the presentation boards. The work has been photographed to a professional standard and the layout is considered. There is a visible level of skill. However, I think perhaps our message is lost somewhat due to a lack of relevant content. This lack of content meant more type, describing what our idea was about. The point of presentation boards is to communicate successfully with as much visual aid and as little readable type as possible. I think this is our weakest element.
I think the only was to address this problem would be if we went back and created more content that communicates our concept effectively, i.e. leaflets; wayfinding; posters in context etc.
