Feedback on the student design feedback tool
We had the first look of the feedback tool on monday and here are some ideas on what is good and what is bad about the tool.
1)When clicking on the main image that the designer wants feedback on it would be nice to be able to zoom in more. There may be some small detail that the designer wishes the viewer to comment on so a zoom would be an advantage.
2) Being able to edit the images and comments should exist. If someone comments on a piece of work , say for example the colours used, the designer could then edit there work and re-post it (with changes). This would generate a larger amount of feedback and enable viewers to have a comparison of work.
3) Because the feedback tool is based around a forum idea where people just comment on designs, the artwork almost becomes a secondary thought. Yes the first thing the viewer looks at is the the artwork but when various people begin to include their comments it almost becomes a "chat" between those people resulting in feedback being minimal. If you had specific design principles to rate or comment on then people would not feel like they have to say nice things just for the sake of it. Furthermore, when people give proper, analytical feedback through comments it is often taken the wrong way and can result in "broken friendships.
ON THE OTHER HAND......
The speed in which you are able to give feedback works well. You can go from piece to piece quite quickly which means when an artwork comes along that really strikes you, it is quick and easy to add your opinion.
