Reflection:
During this week we had two sessions at Lime Grove. One adobe session and one final session.
During the adobe class, we learned how to do some 3D objects. I learned how to do a coffee cup just with simple rectangles on Adobe Illustrator, and also how to do a “Donut” with a smiling face that I also created on illustrator. In the middle of the process, I got a little bit lost but then my friend helped me with some steps. Later, my tutor let us work on some other work for our submission, so since I had basically all my work done I decided to finish my Sketch Up design and try to upload my ZINE to Issuee. I had some problems with my ZINE, because the file was very heavy, but then when I got at home I did what my tutor told me to do to fix the problem and I was able to upload it.
After the break, we had the chance to give feedback to our classmates about their work. It was very interesting to see everyone’s work and their ideas, so it was really nice. Everyone said nice things about my work so it made me very happy. Later, at the end of the class, I was chosen to share my work with the whole class and I also got good feedbacks from everyone.
On our last session, we went through a check of everything that needed to be on our submission, which was very nice so I could check if I had everything to sumbit. I also checked with my tutor some small details about the submission so everything was alright.
This week was very nice, but it sad that the course is over. I’m so glad about everything that I learned this year.
Peer Review:
During today’s class we had the chance to share the work with our classmates, and receive feedback. And these were the feedback that I got from my classmates:
NOTE: I was not able to upload a screenshot of the feedback because it was saying that the images was very heavy.
Xi Wu: A lot of content, I love how you layout the picture. Your photos are telling us stories.
Chi-An Chou: I love the layput and illustrator that you did on each pages. They are sooo great!
Brooklyn Liang: Very well organized week from week and really enjoy the consistent layout throughout.
Shan-Yun Yu: There’s definitely a variety of photography content, and I love how you categorised your zine into different chapters; this resembles a reading book. You have developted your own photography style, and I can tell how much your photography skills have improved. However, it would be better to work on your image selection and retaining that “fashion” element in some of your photoshoots, given that “fashion photography”and mere “photography”are different.
Minh Xuan Nguyen: I think you should be more selective with choosing images, because I quite overwhelmed with the quantity of images you put into each project. Your pathway is photography, so I think be creative with the layout but dont make your viewers feel distracted with your work.”
Natasha Mulwani: I really like how your work has developed so much from term 1. I can clearly see your interest in photography from your zine as well as from the development in your work. I really enjoyed looking through your work as each part tells a new story which is really great for a photographer. I really loved your work <3
Byeongwook Lee: I really like your zine, interesting AD pages. I could tell what is your BA. Well organised and story telling, However, few pages are pretty hard to look. There are some disturb with thr background. love illustrator.
I could tell that from most of the feedback, most people recommended me choosing more images, which is something that I have been working on. However, I feel I have already evolved with my image selection compared to Term 1. I have also seen some comments about my backgrounds so it is something that I will pay more attention in future works.
In general it was good to hear all these feedbacks.
