Alphabet soup 2 - For a partner - formative feedback

In this crit... two people assess your work with the back-up ideas and designs.
This was my feedback -

STRENGTHS -
Good research into existing type, good annotation in sketchbook and a good use of colour.

WEAKNESSES -
No brainstorm of ideas or real research into his character. Work just loose sketches not stuck into book or annotated, what are they? what are they for? and how do they relate to Chris?
The typeface has not been manipulated enough.

ACTIONS -
Present the whole re-visited alphabet.
Stick in loose sketches and annotate better.
Experiment with more colour.
Why rope? explain...




STRENGTHS -
Good research on typeface. Deep investigation into dubstep.
Annotated sketchbook.

WEAKNESSES -
Not much research into the cowboy theme, how it links to chris... in the sketchbook.
The typeface hasn't been modified much, its simple and doesn't communicate all that well.

ACTIONS -
Develop ideas, more brainstorming
Work on letterforms to communicate his personality.
Experiment with colour, materials and methods of producing type.
