Studio brief 2 crit

Today we had a crit on the work we had done so far for studio brief 2. 
To begin we left out questions that we wanted answered, so i asked: 

1. Is the aesthetic of neon colours suitable for a bike event? 

2. Should the event cater to all age groups? 



Feedback


I think the neon colours will work for a bike event though you will have to choose colours that are visible from long distance and also on screen. The pink works well though i might be tempted to use black and white. 

I think that creating different routes for different ages would work though some younger people might be at higher scale than others? Maybe create routes measured at difficulty rather than age.

The neon colours could work really well and replicate the colours of the safety lights and and high vis jackets that are worn by cyclists 

I think it should be more catered to an older audience rather than children, as they are more likely to go and be interested 

i would use perhaps one neon colour with black to tone it down slightly otherwise it might be too bright and not visible from a distance 

Neon colours would work really well to stand out against the background to show the routes, as long as it is not too many colours as this could be very garish. select a colour scheme that can work throughout. 

Yes the more people involved the better, you just have to make sure whatever you create its going to appeal to everyone 

Neon colours create a  unique aesthetic. makes it eye catching and very current 

Maybe the aesthetic makes it appeal more to a younger audience. Presumably your creating for a different skill level to the actual tour de france, maybe its for beginners. Focusing on one skill level will make it easier for yourself. 

Neon colour scheme works well as i think of high vis (that cyclist are supposed to wear) would show routes etc very vividly in the natural environment 


Wide range of ages would work but each age group may need to be separated to take different interests into account. 




My thoughts on the feedback

I thought there was some strong feedback that i received, there was some good ideas that i think i might carry forward, like basing the event on skill level so there is a number of different tracks based on the skill of the rider. Most people all said that the neon colours idea was strong because it related well to the neon that cyclists wear. So that is something i think i might stick with, although printing neon colours will be extremely hard, which for some reason nobody mentioned, so i might have to screenprint them so depending on time i will see if that is possible, if not i will jsut use bright colours.
