- TEXT - in the peer tutorial they preferred the hand-drawn text, but both tutors said that it was inappropriate to have text in editorial. This obviously makes perfect sense - because the text will be alongside the image anyhow. I guess I got confused because we not working off a specific article but research/texts we have selected ourselves.
- They all preferred the hand-drawn and painted textures as apposed to the when I made them digitally, and I must say I agree. Again this is all about the hand-made giving more charm and personality to my work - without it the collages can look stale.
- After this crit I think I need to reconsider format and play around with the composition of my images - as well as create my hand-drawn elements on a bigger scale to retain the sense of texture and looseness to my painting.
- Ben suggested to create everything and then scan in it to play with it on photoshop - I think this will work really well and help me experiment.
Talking to Ben I realised that I need to reflect more consciously on how I form the composition of my images - what makes a good composition? Instead of just doing it from feeling and then leaving it there - although this does give an element of spontaneity. Do it and then reflect!
