critique 4/ 10
here's my short talk department from this week. sometimes i find illustrations a bit difficult. usually because it's hard to steer away from the clip-arty feel. i freehanded this sandwich illustration without looking at a picture, and i actually think it turned out looking less clip-arty that way. i'm pretty happy with it. i like the onions. i overall like this page. even though it's just a department, i feel like it turned out nicely.

response: contest judging.
it was really fun watiching the judges do their thing at this contest. however, i don't think in the future i would want to watch the judging of my own pieces. I'm glad mine made it into the final round, but i do think it was deserving of an honorable mention. i understand that my cover wasn't perfect, but some of the ones that won, (none from people in our class) i thought weren't conceptual or creative at all. oh well. this was a forced contest. i hate contests, and never enter them. they don't mean that much to me. also i was confused that for a lot of the srpeads the attention seemed to be given more to the quality of the photos or photo editing rather than the actual design/layout of the page. interesting.
