Communication Is A Virus... Final Crit

This had to be the worst crit I have ever participated in, and after speaking to others afterwards, I know I am not alone. Due to a certain member of the group constantly talking and distracting others, it was virtually impossible to hear what members at the opposite end of the table were saying. Especially Brady and Naomi's idea, an idea I was looking forward to hearing after having no prior knowledge of the idea, so I gave feedback later on after the crit had ended.
When it was mine and Meryem's turn to present, we barely received any feedback, this was due to the individual still chattering on resulting in the opposite end of the table hearing next to nothing what was said. We were a little downhearted, as we were feeling more confident than the first pitch.
However, we were told our point of sale was a little specific, and we should consider the product being available in larger shops. Another consideration was a to create a blog website, following on an idea Meryem already had in the format of website like http://www.textsfromlastnight.com/ a website where people share drunken text messages they have sent 'last night'. This could be an interesting way of people sharing their compliments, although I am aware it does contradict our verbal, 'non-digital' attitude. So this would need some careful consideration.

Communication Is A Virus... Pitch Review

The comments were very positive, and there were suggestions which Meryem and I need to discuss whether to carry out or not. For example, the stickers with blank write-on boxes, and love heart sweets idea.

The main issue I wanted to sort out was the iPhone app idea, we did not have any visuals for this proposal, as it was just an idea, but after the great feedback, we have decided to carry it out.
I do feel that Meryem was quite nervous during the talk, as I seemed to fill in the gaps, this may reflect the fact that we were unsure on our idea, so for the next presentation it is important we are 100% confident on what we are doing.
