The Crit.

We had to stand up in front of the class and perform a one minute presentation on our ideas and concepts and afterwards we would hear the tutors and classmates thoughts and additional ideas. I had criticism about the way I use a similar style throughout all of my pieces (surely this is just developing your unique style?) I used a hand rendered image and type combination on my egg box to give it that organic free range feel but that was criticized as it was in my own style. I should of stood up for myself and said "But you would not find a plain, slick and graphical corporate logo on an organic egg box", but I lack confidence when talking about my own work, especially when trying to justify something!

At this stage I still felt I had not answered the brief but I also felt I was not getting the feedback I needed to achieve the answer. After having a bit of a rant with myself and after questioning my existence on this course I realised I have a lot of potential and I really do need to broaden my skills, even if I discard them eventually. I need to not be scared to take a risk in a subject or specialism I am not so familiar in.
