Visual Language: Junior/Senior Crit

Here's the feedback from the crit with Jessica and Ian:

- The parodies in both were identifiable, but the visual metaphor in the punched paper poster is very subtle. Neither saw it as too much of an issue because they felt the image was still working without the trope being quickly recognizable.

- The fact that they both work as parodies help in recognizing the trope utilized. The "transition" in the punched paper poster is too subtle to be easily recognized, so a more drastic change may have helped in order to make that stand out more. The setting of the loteria board may not be the right kind of table-- maybe something more weathered or less active in terms of lines.

- The message is specific to the demographic due to the nature of the objects they are based on, as well as spanish employed in both posters.

- Posters have "vote" written on them in Spanish (vota), therefore the message is clear.

- The formal and stylistic approaches are appropriate to the audience. Things that help are bright colors, the way the loteria board was rendered in a painterly style, and the general effect of the paper cut outs.

- The text in both posters reinforce the image and is engaging to the viewer. Secondary copy is integrated within the image. ("Vota" on the loteria board or on the middle punched paper.)
