Week Three: Thursday

I was surprised at the way the interim presentation was held compared to other presentations I have done. It was useful to see work done by students in the other classes, which was more interesting than the work by students in my class since I have seen it many times before. The downfall of this style of presenting is that I didn't get much feedback at all. And then afterwards we were expected to make changes based on this feedback. Most of the comments I got said that they liked my work, and only one said anything beneficial that I could use to improve it.

As soon as I spread my work on the table, Fay said that my page needed a splash of colour on the black and white side. As I went round looking at other work, I saw what I did a few times and I thought the same things about their work. This was useful in solidifying the change I needed to make.

Before I came to the presentation, I was feeling pretty happy about my work and the direction I was moving in, but now I am feeling quite lost. Compared to so many other brochures, mine does not seem to stack up. I almost want to start all over again, but I know that I don't have time for that. I'm still happy with my dog illustrations, and the photographic element, I guess it's the texture that I'm struggling with. I really liked the idea of the bubbles, but now they seem stagnant, and childish and boring. But as this point I don't have any other ideas of how to show the texture.
