SET

The project is almost over and (I think?) I have completed my set of prints. 

I've loved this brief and think I've made the most of my time (I'm exhausted!!!! and I'm happy with the groovy things I've made) but I am still worrying that what I've made won't be good enough FOR THE BRIEF.

It's not Henson-worthy and I can't stop looking at what other people have done and comparing mine - thinking how awful mine is in comparison.

In Visual Narratives, I got so sucked into the task of making a world that I forgot to tell a story and I didn't answer the brief as well as I could have. I got so INTO making the scene that I forgot the NARRATIVE.

I'm scared that I've done this again. I began by following Jim's principles by using similar processes but I think that people will see what I've done and not see the connection to Henson at all. I've got too into MAKING.

THIS IS VISUAL COMMUNICATION... AM I COMMUNICATING WHAT I HAVE BEEN ASKED TO COMMUNICATE?

I didn't do the obvious thing. That's not what I do. That might have been easier, it might have been safer.

This one doesn't suit the set! It looks different! The puppet looks different. The photo is taken indoors and the colour palette is completely monotone. Agh. I have done this for a reason, I want this one to b ethe BEHIND THE SCENES of Jim's performance and his connection to the puppets in the other prints. But I can't explain that to viewers.

The stamps are working quite well, these close-up MOMENTS. Such a lovely format to work with and something I've never attempted before. I'm not sure how they will look when printed - will the small details be noticeable? Will they just look like a blur??

Without the quotes, are they just boring?
