FINAL MEGA CRIT

The LAST EVER CRIT. Feeling a bit emotional!

What I saw:
Kyle's Books! Kyle has done an awful lot of work this module and I hadn't seen much of it as we were in different tutor groups. I always look forward to seeing Kyle's work because he invests a lot of time into learning new methods of storytelling (AR, VR, 3D Printing, laser engraving etc) and this module was no different. He had two finished book projects on display which was incredible to see and he had printed and bound his children's book himself. Impressive, inventive and inspiring. I don't know how he does it!
Joe's portfolio - Joe has used this module to practice areas of illustration that he knew clients, publishers and agents would want to see. He has finished the module with a really well developed portfolio full of character designs, sketches, compositions and narratives. He has used the module to prepare himself for going into the industry which is brilliant and a really productive use of his time. Do I have enough of this sort of work in my portfolio? Do I need two separate portfolios - one for model making and one for illustration?
Sophia's Spreads - Sophia hasn't limited herself to just one area of illustration, but has demonstrated in her portfolio that she can adapt to a range of ages, genres and contexts. Is my portfolio too specific? Too niche?

What my peers liked
Professionalism of the book - this isn't my handiwork so feeling a bit bad about that!
The detail and amount of work - great to get some recognition for this. I was worried that because I couldn't bring the town in that my space in the mega crit would look small and as though I hand't done much work but people could see in the book and the photos that I had actually put a lot of hours into this and that everything (except the artificial flowers) they saw in the images had been MADE.
The story - I am pleased with my story and I love writing them! I'm glad that it was well received.

What I will do now
BE PROUD - I need to take a step back and appreciate what I've achieved.
Start to look into the submission process for publishers, who I would want to work for, what I need to know.
CONTINUE MAKING.
