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.
