Presentation Boards

Mega Crit - 10/12/18

The final crit left me feeling relieved after having doubts about the amount of work I had. I’ve had a few doubts about the work I’ve produced over the module but laying it out for display made me realise how much I’ve produced. The feedback I received from peers made me feel slightly more prepared for the overbearing deadline next week.

The feedback mentioned that the work I have produced has been considered strongly to work collectively which I personally I wasn’t sure of. The work was displayed in an organised manner as I hope the presentation and order of my process is clear for submission. The methodical process of work seems clear I apparently work in a neat and controlled fashion. The text used in the designs has been considered to fit alongside the visual aspect of the work and is strong enough to stand alone which is something I’ve tried to explore throughout the module.

The practical outcomes of my work have been described as punchy and exciting. I mentioned in the presentation boards that making my own poster workshop would have been an exciting opportunity. This was an ambitious idea for the time period of the module although the experience would have strengthened my knowledge of the subject further. The feedback mentions how the topic of Brexit seems quite difficult as it’s quite recent – they were right. The media is swimming with articles about Brexit but finding possible law changes was extremely difficult. Thankfully, but sadly, the animal welfare laws covered by the EU have already altered, giving me a lot more content to research and work with practically.

The synthesis between my theoretical and practical research has been reviewed as strong and the presentation boards have been strong in outlining this. The relationship between the two is consistent throughout, with the screen prints relating more closely to editorial illustrations that take a longer period of time.

If I were to continue the concept of this brief further I would continue making work ‘I give a shit about’. The subject I covered is something I am passionate about and would love to continue it further. Especially, relating to the current state UK politics is in. I would possibly explore mediums at larger scales and have the intention of opening a print workshop in my basement one day with my own screen printing set up. If this was to happen, I’d have to find some people in Leeds that would partake.

My work has been described as provoking, informing and exciting and I hope to continue my political ideas further in the future.
