In this weeks responsive session we held a peer crit with the illustration students. I was actually really nervous about this, as I didn't know what to expect and I was unsure of what I actually had to. At first I thought I would have to stand at the front and give a presentation to a group of strangers that was a lot larger that what I am used to and I must admit that I wasn't looking forward to it at all. However, this wasn't the case and I was extremely relieved to find that it involved printing out presentation boards and wondering around the room looking at everyone's work. I also really enjoyed this task, as it gave me the opportunity to see what others were doing and it also gave me an insight into the amount of work the others were doing, to help me focus on how much time I should be spending on each brief.
Although I didn't really have too much to show, I did receive some very positive feedback regarding my character design and clarity of story. However, I also felt that the feedback I received wasn't very constructive at all, it all seemed to be praising my choice of character design and storyline, which is a very nice confidence boost, but I didn't receive any feedback that I'll actually be able to apply to other briefs in the future other than keep doing what I'm doing. Despite this though, I'm glad we had the opportunity to have a crit with the illustrators and I now know what is expected of me for the next crit. Overall, I'm pleased with the experience and feel that I will be more prepared for the next crit. I need to focus on spending a little more time on responsive and plan out my animations a little better and work on finishing briefs and reducing my work load.
