Visual Diagram Evaluation

Final poster design

Printed poster (Visual Diagram)

STRENGTHS

Managed to wrestle with layout to get to something that shows links clearly without looking like a mess//not too many overlapping arrows

Colour scheme works well (feel there's a good colour balance too) together whilst also fitting with subject matter

Draws together all my research in an accessible way

WEAKNESSES//CONCERNS

That the diagram will be taken too literally (e.g. people will think I'm trying to play a blame game "supermodels are responsible for all eating disorders" or "Robin Thicke sexually abuses women") rather than an exploration of the sexualisation of women

That people won't understand the links or will dismiss ones they don't agree with without thinking about them or what links them

The arrows look a little unprofessional and are something, if done again, I would spend more time on

OVERALL

I'm quite pleased with the overall final outcome and feel as though my research has really informed the way I've gone about constructing this diagram. As previously stated, my aim was to expose all the different links and forms in which women's sexuality is being presented and at times exploited. My main concern with this poster however is that people will take offence or view it in the wrong light. I hope that I was able to display this information in a way that allows people to form their own opinions and I suppose in a way, even if people disagree with the links I've made at least my poster has got them THINKING about it and FORMING THEIR OWN OPINIONS. In regards to this concern however I am quite confident in the fact that these links are based upon research and a deeper understanding of this subject matter than I had at the start of this project.
