Crit Notes

Reflect 

- The notebook idea is good and makes sense, but needs to be simplified. 

- In general, always stick to one idea rather than trying to combine them. 

- Must go physical and get off the laptop. Does not have to be photographic, can be using the scanner etc. when thinking about your ideas think - how can this be interactive for me?  

- How can my ideas be more relevant to the book, not just study tasks. 

- The playful type is really strong and should be continued. 

Speculate 

- In terms of the notebook idea I will play around with the texture on the cover, perhaps using something that resembles TV static.
- I will definitely develop sticker designs to help myself customise the cover. These could be labels, post-it notes, other science related things?
- Look into different notebook designs - does it have to be a Component Book? Could it resemble more of a text book? Look into this and pick out the ones that I like.
- Make it physically! Actually buy a book and customise it through the use of stickers and tags, photograph it, and this could be the cover.
- What can you include on the cover from the context of the book?
- In terms of the 'holes in science' idea, can I experiment more with making each layer more interesting and relevant? A collage, photo, texture?
- What can I do with the holes? turn them into atoms, planets, or cells?

Research

- What textures to gather
- Textbooks
- What to stickers to design
