Final Major Project - Questionnaire Summary and Project
Evaluation
The results of the surveys I created to gain feedback on my
project were reasonably informative. I created two different surveys for this
project, one for adults to be distributed between my classmates and the
teachers of the school that I did this project for and a second more simply
worded one for the target audience, the children of the school. I created two
different surveys because I wanted to get feedback from general people around
me as well as the target audience and both have given me similar feedback.
The general opinion of my work is positive. Everyone likes
the characters, the colours and animations. The main criticisms seem to be:
-Some of the animations are a bit boring
-Some of the colours don’t look good
The ‘boring animations’ mostly refer to the R.E. Robin
because his movement is too simple and not visually interesting.
The ‘colours that don’t look good’ mostly refers to the
Geography Mole, who is a dark shade of blue that might be to dark, and the
globe that he interacts with that is a simple brown like the plain globes that
libraries or personal studies usually have instead of a colourful blue and
green that are commonly found in schools and cartoons.
These were the most common criticisms that came from the
surveys.
Despite these flaws in the characters the positive feedback
far outweighs the negative with most people answering the final question: “If
the characters were going to be done again, what should be changed?” with that
they would not change anything.
After looking at the feedback given in the surveys that I
distributed, I have been able to look at my work with more open eyes and see
things more clearly.
Looking at this project as a whole I am quite pleased with
my work. I believe that I have created a series of target appropriate
characters that although are not perfect, as pointed out in the survey
summarisation above, do fit the criteria that I set myself in my project
proposal and contract with my client.
Based completely on my personal opinions. I know that what I
have created is not perfect and has a number of flaws. The flaws that I see
myself in my work are: The Rabbit characters thought bubble is drawn to
sketchily, The Owl character changes appearance/costume too often in a small
amount of time and should be made longer, The Mole characters colour is a bad
shade of dark blue and should be a bit brighter, also the globe is very plain
in colour and appears boring, The Duck character does not move at all despite
the fact that he is playing an instrument. If I were to do the project again I
would put more time into making the characters look more visually interesting through
the use of better chosen colours and more interesting animated
actions/movements.
The survey feedback confirms my opinions on some of the
flaws of my work but not all of them which leads me to believe that that
problems I see with the things I have created are either not as obvious to
others, or others do not consider most of them flaws.
Despite the list of personal flaws I believe my work has, I
believe that it is still a valuable piece of work and has many merits. I
believe that the characters are colourful, visually interesting and are very
suitable and appropriate to their target audience and as I mentioned earlier I
am quite pleased with the work that I have created. This appears to be a shared
opinion with the people who completed my surveys, some of who even praised the
characters that I have taken issue with, referring them to as interesting
and/or funny such as the ‘R.E. Robin’ and the ‘History Owl’.
