'a day in the life of' evaluation



Weaknesses:


A lot of the weaknesses in the feedback didn't come as much of a surprise. One of my biggest regrets and most common comments was the stock I chose to print on. I opted for a more expensive, textured paper without realising that it would curl so much. Before assessment I hope to be able to flatten the piece.

Another common comment was a dislike of the use of texture. I wasn't so sure myself, but I decided to take the risk as it's something different to what I usually do. Perhaps a more subtle use of texture would have gone down better.

Finally, a lot of people pointed out that the images look a little like they're focused on the idea of technology rather than loneliness. It was suggested that perhaps one less of the pieces could have been concentrated on technology, and because of that I regret not using this idea:

(but a landscape version)
Strengths:

Funnily enough, a few people enjoyed the use of texture! It is a matter of taste, and something to keep in mind.


A lot of people enjoyed the colour palette and compositions, as well as the "sense of character". I feel that there are some places where the composition is a little unbalanced or odd (especially in the 20x20 image) but I think it is one of the highlights.
