I requested a tutorial today with Lance as I felt I was struggling with the controversial adverts project and also felt I was going backwards in my work, rather than forwards. I spent time looking photographs yesterday of my progress from foundation diploma to now, 2nd year of degree and felt that my work was better in the first year (well my FMP was anyway). I felt that I hadn't produced anything new or original, and that I should have something commercial by now. I have realised lately that my expectations of myself are very high and that I am actually doing ok in general, but I wasn't sure if my high expectations extended to my art work as well and after talking to Lance I feel I do. Whilst it's ok to strive for the best I can do, I need to accept that i'm doing ok. Infact I had positive comments from Lance about my work, I just need to believe them.
I was convinced controversial adverts had to be handed in today, so was relieved when I was told we had another 2 weeks. I rushed through an advert yesterday, just so I something to hand in. I was a tad embarrassed to show it to Lance, but his feedback was that the style didn't suit the advert. I told Lance of my initial plan to dig a big hole in the allotment and put someone in it with their head/feet hanging out.
I talked through my abuse thoughts for adverts as well i.e. the dating agency and the pub scenario and Lance made a suggestion of a personal column.
I now need to progress this module.
