OUGD505 - City Patch Project - Interim Crit

Crit Feedback

It was said overall that the concept is strong and that I should continue with the ideas I have. Creating the adoption pack was said to be a good idea.  It was said that possibly considering how it could be promoted could be an idea, this would be a good way of getting people to donate or volunteer. It was suggested that looking into Leeds in Bloom could be a good reference as groups get a plaque for their space. Choosing a place in Leeds and mocking the space up could be an idea then taking photographs of this as a way of visualising the space and making it real. Using semi permanent spray paint or blasting technique could be used to designate areas and show where things will be. It was said that a patch suggests the idea of growing plants which is one of the uses that a space could have. Using the car parking space idea as reference it was said is effective. The diagonal lines / cross stitch logos were said to be effective. The one with curved edges and the square design were said to be strong. It was suggested that focusing on a specific area of Leeds or specific 'patches' could help e.g. where road markings are in car parks. It was suggested that this idea could be promoted to families and schools.  In the pack it was also suggested that a seed label / stick could be given so that people can use these for plants within their patch.
