Mega Crit

Coming into the crit...
The printer in our studio printed the colours way darker than they were on screen and in the prints I did at home, so I have three photos in the intended colours and three photos in a much darker, too high contrast print. Anxious that this might make my work look bad or that my peers might think I don't know that the contrast is way too high - hoping I don't get feedback telling me this because I know already and that's not how they're going to look. Should have prepared a little better and printed them all on the same printer.

Responses
Positives...
My peers seemed to really like the scrapbook concept (research-based) and the scrapbook aesthetic (collage).
They also really liked the drawings I've been doing, which I wasn't feeling that happy with. They like BOTH THE SCRAPBOOK AND THE DRAWINGS - so what do I do? Which should I choose? Maybe I could mix them together a bit more but will it just look random and indecisive?

To work on...
Don't cut images off the edge.
Use sticky pads to bring depth and levels to the scrapbook page - some things will be lifted higher and others not as far forwards.
More shadow.

What I saw
In our studio...
People mocking up already! Am I behind? Lots of digital work - quick way of making work, especially when we have so many other demanding modules at the moment.
Lots of screen printing - people really enjoyed that in 504 and I didn't, makes me worry that I'm not being as experimental as other people or being as ambitious with processes.

In the Level 6 Studio
Tyler Robson's HUGE amount of sketchbook work! So many pages and pages of drawing - really impressive amount of character sketches. I saw Tyler in the studio (I've never spoken to him before but we follow each other on Instagram) and told him how impressed I was by his work. Made a connection, made a friend!
