Concentration Critiques - Charlie and Josh


Charlie



Overall thoughts:
  • I think your take on women is very interesting 
  • I love that you're thinking about different generations of women and exploring different time periods throughout history
  • I think a strong point in your concentration is your detail work - especially when it comes to your intricate flowers (I know those take a lot of time, but it's worth it!) 
Suggestions: 
  • I'd like to see you continue with your unconventional frames and your flower cutouts
  • It would be fun to see you use more unconventional materials  
  • A possible piece about women's suffrage or women's rights
  • Further exploration of the different generations 
  • Further exploration of pattern and texture
  • Continue to incorporate quotes  
  • Try to use maybe one more different medium - I'd personally like to see you try colored pencils 
  • I don't know if you are unhappy with the backgrounds of any of your pieces, but if you are, I'd suggest playing around with an editing app 
I think you have a great concentration with visually interesting pieces, so I look forward to seeing what you create moving forward!

Overall thoughts: 
  • I like that you're taking a design stance
  • I like that you're also incorporating photographs of your shoes
  • I like that you incorporate fantasy into some pieces 
  • Your love for shoes is evident in your pieces and I like that about them 
Suggestions: 
  • I really like the message and the design of your first piece, so I think it would be interesting if you did something like that again 
  • I like the way you are designing specific types of shoes with unique characteristics, so I'd like to see you continue that
  • Along with that, I think you could benefit from adding actual pictures of fabric into the parts of your design to turn them into the physical design
  • I'd like to see you incorporate more photographs of shoes you own or are drawn to into your digital work 
  • I thought your boot illustration was really fun, so I'd like to see you try another traditional piece 
  • Further exploration of the blueprint layout 
  • Maybe design shoes to fit different physical needs 
  • Continue to explore and incorporate texture
I think your concentration is very interesting, so I look forward to seeing more of it!
