The final big crit we had, I actually found was very useful. I didn't really get any feedback on my work, which I thought was fine because I had already submitted all of my briefs, however I did get feedback on the way I presented my boards. Last crit session with the Illustration students, I thought I didn't have enough text on them because I was not very experienced with presenting my work professionally, however this time I had too much! I will admit that I was a little upset and taken a back at these comments because I had taken the time to hand write all of my annotations which took me a really long time. I wanted my boards to look detailed and like I had put a lot of thought into them but people thought that they were too busy and complicated, which I do see now as well.
These are the boards that I presented, which I uploaded to ISSU so that you can see them better. I learnt about ISSU through the Illustration students, and now that I know how to use it, I have become obsessed with it, as it has allowed me to show a series of images in one go without being too complex on my blog!
Like I said before, I was a bit disheartened with the feedback, but that only made me want to try harder and create boards that are slick and professional looking. During the crit I was able to walk around and see everyone else's boards for some tips and inspiration. I noticed there wasn't much writing on them, but they had a lot of visuals and were very exciting to look at. I want mine to be the same so I am going to revisit my boards and redesign them so that they match up to the quality of my peers! I think I will keep the writing part for my project report which we were also briefed on, but I am really excited to make it, because I saw some of the level 6 Illustration students' reports and they were really inspiring! I am going to treat it like a book and make sure it look consistent and clean throughout, so I can do my work some justice!
