Thursday 6th December

Today was a critique of all of our work. The work was put up as an exhibition on the purple boards.

This is what my exhibition looked like.

As a own personal review, I felt like I could do a lot more with his brief, but as I was slightly behind in my sketchbook, and realising I have fallen quite behind which is no fault but my own (apart from quite a lot of printing errors), I felt I was a little distracted with the process of my sketchbook than the actual brief. I am going to be getting my sketchbook up to scratch so that from January when we come back, my work is going to be so much better, and I am going to make sure blogs and work will be done on the day and then I am more able to create extra work during my days off.

These are the points I got from my peers:

• I researched into directions
• I designed a system which can be applied to other companies as well as Ravensbourne University
• Good colour choice and contextualising of the building and the lines
• Make some more mock ups on how you want other lines to be if I was to create more lines for the different buildings around the area.

The last part of the session was looking at work that the tutors thought was good and listening to my peers talk about them. This was interesting to see how other people that weren’t in my group went about the brief.

I have realised my work hasnt been to the best of my ability, and I am struggling coming to terms with that because I feel like I have let myself down. However I am going to improve on this because this isn’t how I work, and hasnt been how I worked before.
