The initial intentions for this brief was to produce a graphic response which makes a statement, observation or piece of guidance to new students on our first year experiences. In terms of this aim, our final outcome can be considered to effectively communicate this through the use of humorous advice on the concept of shopping. This advice came from existing students’ shopping experiences, which makes the guide relatable and realistic of student life.
Another requirement for this brief was to produce a response which would make the overall transition process from school or college to university more welcoming. One of the guide’s limitations that was discussed was that the ‘childish’ aesthetics could potentially be seen as patronising to new students and could make them feel intimidated of older students, as well as the whole student experience. If this were the case then our final outcome does not effectively communicate a welcoming tone. However, despite this, overall the guide was considered entertaining and friendly which could in fact make new students feel slightly more at ease knowing other students have been through similar situations, but the best thing that can be done is to laugh and make light out of such stressful situations.
