Over the course of the past week, I've been working on coming up with initial concepts for 'The Rock' spread, the introduction spread, and also the awards spreads at the back end of the book. I have come up with multiple concepts in order to be as broad as possible, and then find aspects that work better than others, then begin to focus on one conceptual approach for the whole book. These can be seen in my physical workbook.
This class was mainly spent with everyone printing their homework, and then having it critiqued in front of the class so that we could go away and develop it for the remainder of the studio. I quite like having whole class critiques, as you also learn from hearing other peoples' work being critiqued, and find other aspects that work or don't work.
I had some very effective feedback from Fay and Jo, and I have more of an idea where I will head in terms of a consistent layout throughout. I spent the final hour of studio time working on and developing this as well.
Next week, we are having a class critique/interim presentation, where we have been given a list of things to have completed. We need to refine the chapters we have been working on, as well as come up with a lot more spreads. It's good that we are being instructed to do a lot of work before the class critique, as the earlier you get concepts whipped up and critiqued, the more time you have to develop and refine them before hand-in.
