Visual Journalist Crit

We each took it in turns to present our days worth of research to our group; it was interesting/ co incidental to find out that one of my group members is actually from Whitby! It was informative for him to see my perspective as a visitor on his hometown.




Problem Analysis

Upon reflection of the day I'm still feeling like it was more of a personal nostalgic journey for me, and my research was so broad that it was hard to pinpoint it to something specific that would eventually tell an untold story. My first thoughts as to what I would do if I were to make the book tomorrow would be an illustrated tour guide of Whitby, but I feel like that is too generic and too much of an easy option for me.



The people in my group also thought my research was very thorough but not specific enough, they too found it difficult to pinpoint something in particular to take forward and express further.

Problem Solving/Critical Incident

I came away from the crit feeling extremely deflated. I am absolutely clueless on what I could base my book on and I can't help feeling like I've had two wasted journeys which is such a shame. I'm going to go and clear my head for a day and come back with fresh eyes and review what I have done, maybe choose my favourite thing of the day and elaborate on that. I'll do some more secondary research into the things that I found most interesting and hopefully find a tale to tell within the extra things that I find out.
