OUGD502 Task 1 - Roots Feedback & Response

A LLC considered business, well explained and the rationale of how you arrived at the names shows consideration to establishment and continuity and a potential growth.

A fairly ‘Artisan’ offering allied to the considered market segment identified. 

One word in the presentation that struck me is ‘LOVE’ and that is the embodiment of commitment. Location is good and taking advantage of FREE space is also good and gets one into a community as a ‘newbie’ that other business tend to support.

A comprehensive presentation that focussed more on the potential of experiential offering and a defined, considered and engaging character to the business.

Simplify all costings and when considering these try to cover some in ‘general’ terms, such as ‘consumables’ instead of identifying individual on costs. Keep it simple but comprehensive.

A very good identification and understanding of potential client base v offerings and the breadth of delivery and publicity in terms of PR and promotional activity.

The idea of “hiring us as a studio” - the notion that you are already a single unit -  and the requirement for press interest to sustain the business was good. The strategic approach to the repayment of student loans was interesting.

Try not to read from cards, when you are looking down, you have lost engagement with your audience and affords them time to slip out of sync with your presentations. Rehearsal and by simply addressing what is on the slide will do and make it easier for presenting and flow.

Well done and you can build on this if you feel like it?

Blog all the feedback and try to rationalise what you thought of this project, helpful. informative or too business oriented?

Overall I agree with this feedback, I feel we had thoroughly researched our idea and it could work if we wanted to pursue this. As for the presentation I myself am trying to not read from notes this will change when I am stronger in confidence I hope, I loved doing this project with my friends because I would work with them they are all amazing designers but really diverse. I think this project really helped myself progress and I'm sure them too it made me feel confident in the future with the possibility I could actually set up my own business and its not as dreadful as I once thought. It also gave me a brief insight to facts, figures and costs this task has made me eager to set up on my own in the future.
