Mega Crit

In today's 'mega crit' we left feedback on each other's progress in terms of where we are individually at within the project.

I was pleasantly surprised with the positivity of my feedback, commenting on the conceptual values and the quality of my first screen tests. One comment in particular suggested that I try and push my ideas further as it seems that I am running with my first. This is partly true but I do have some more exciting ideas for prints that I am yet to record in thumbnail sketches. It was also suggested that I relate my sting to my prints; I was planning on doing this using the green and pink colour scheme that I have previously used so that the two link together more effectively.

Since proposing my final ideas in studio brief 3, they have altered slightly in terms of my prints. 
My proposal now is to Produce five screen prints based on the neurological practice of Oliver Sacks, treating patients with a range of complicated conditions. I intend to produce prints based on five conditions; Prosopagnosia, Post-Encephalitis, Tourette's Syndrome, Phantom Limb Syndrome and Stroke. The message of these illustrations will aim to communicate the struggles of living with these conditions, and eradicating the stigma that so often comes along with mental and neurological conditions.

Productivity Plan

• Finish developing thumbnail sketches for final prints by Dec 15
• Consider working A3 for the final prints 
• Produce some mono-print textures to use within my sting, using the appropriate shades of green and pink by Today
• Have final positives ready, and sting completed by the end of the first week of the Christmas holiday (Dec 20)
