I thought I was almost done with my design boards but this mega crit has changed that... There's a lot I need to sort out and that means going right back to the first board and starting again.
It was useful to see how other people had approached design boards and to see what works well. It's a different sort of looking to see it on the screen and then see it printed at actual size, i.e. seeing it at A2 size has made me realise how huge my font is and that I can reduce it right down!
I've put too much blurb on too, the purpose of the design board is to SELL the product, not explain my process.
I can see the value in design boards - they are professional and essential for pitching ideas and submitting work, I think it is vital that I learn how to do them properly but I really wish I'd had a little more practise before having to submit them to these competitions. Seeing how they SHOULD be done is making me worry that the ones I sent to YCN and the ones we sent for D&AD weren't up to scratch and might have brought our submissions down.
