With advanced representation finished now, I can focus completely on getting all my drawings ready for the crit this monday. Even though the timing of the advanced rep lessons is terrible (being last thing on a monday evening) I have enjoyed the course and learnt lots of new skills.
After the business card/letter head submission we produced a CV that we would be able to use in future and it completely changed everything I thought I knew about writing a CV. For starters I had delete about half of what was written on my original one and add a lot of stuff I didnt realise was releveant.
The last and final project of the course was to create our own websites which I really enjoyed. Before I always assumed I would pay some computer geek to do it for me before realising that I had become one myself! Using a free website template from weebly I experiemnted with themes, fonts, colours etc before landing on a black and white contemporary theme. The next few days were spent writing profiles and uploading examples of my work and before long the deadline had come.
Feedback from the crit was mostly positive. The layout was strong and the images good. The best advice I was given was from a friend who said that although the website was good it wasnt very 'me' because it was dark, clean cut and minimalist and my style is more vibrant and sketchy. So I will take on this feedback and keep adding to the website, might even stretch to buying my own domain!
