I'm glad to say that my last idea was was much better recieved, although there were still a few discenting voices from some of the other students. It was felt that I had now missed the point of the brief entirely. In as much as, It was a typographical exercise and I had now approached it from a completely different angle. I explained that I felt this was justified, as I had already tried a very literal interpretation of the brief and missed the points that had been made.

I explained that I had reviewed all that had been said during the previous crits and re-read all of the handouts supplied. These allowed me to realise that if I am going to achieve any real sort of skill in graphics, I need to be low tech. As I write this, It has dawned on me that actually, what I now need to do is exactly what I think many of the Photography students have missed out on or have never known. That is...a back to basics..no nonsense, get your hands dirty, how light and cameras work type of thing, but from a graphics point of view. Creativity is in my head and hands, not on a mac screen.
