We received the initial feedback today on our tentative forays into the first brief: Design Literacy. Although I didn’t volunteer to talk about my work during the seminar and was not called upon to talk about it either (could be both a good and bad thing) all the issues I have been experiencing where discussed in depth through others work.
Fortunately several of my classmates had approached their work similarly and where having similar thoughts and problems to myself. The upshot seems to be that I need to slow down and become more meticulous in recording each step I take.
The picture attached is reperesentative of some work I had started to do where I made and arranged my squares with coloured paper. The 3d approach let me see the possibilities of shadows. Something I would not have noticed had I produced all my work in Illustrator.
The shadow approach may be something I come to.
