Issues with the call out/ submissions

 Issues with submissions

One of the main issues we have discovered when receiving submissions is that people are misinterpreting the brief, and submitting letters that aren't suitable to be used in a typeface. For example, the design above is great, but it is way too complicated and uses colour. I think this is mainly a result of poor communication on our part, as we made the call out quite open. Due to this, we wanted to give some more constructive feedback for the submission in order to get a more suitable letter for the project. Here is the email we sent:

Showing what letters we have received so far

Another issue we have realised is that at this moment, there isn't any way that people know what letters have been submitted. Due to this, there is a risk that people could submit the same letter as somebody. Some ideas to overcoming this issue would be:

• Posting the letters people have submitted 
• Creating some sort of document that has a table checking off each letter (we could put this in our instagram bio)
• Creating a document with the submitted letters (like a shared google doc)
• We could make a 24 square table with the submitted letters and post it filled in with the letters we have

I'm going to have a chat with Spencer regarding this, as it is an issue in making sure we receive the right submissions. Also, we were thinking of creating some letters ourselves. For example, I might improve the 'F' I created.
